Hinweis der Redaktion
- So how do we know if one web shop is cooler than another? I feel that shopping carts are coming of age . They have been around for about 15 years now and really ought to be better understood. So I’m going to give you an insight into Version 1.0 of my web shop framework for assessing online retail good practice . I created my first shopping cart website in 1997 – but I don’t ever stop learning about them myself. I therefore welcome feedback on this framework to improve it over time and make it more and more useful to online retailers. Pass a copy of the Version 1 Framework around.
- My name is Alan Noake, Chief Lab Rat at The ICELAB. We specialise in helping established retail and mail order businesses in Kent and beyond with retailing online. We send out a monthly newsletter to over 4000 people in Kent who are interested in Online Shopping. We also run a award every year to find the best online shop based or created in Kent. This will be the third year.
- We do our bit. A percentage of our profits goes to a global environmental or polar research charity! This year we have selected Friends Of The Earth because of all their work on Climate Change. We continue to support charities from previous years – The Antarctic Heritage Trust and The Scott Polar Research Institute .
- I am often asked why the ICELAB? Chosen because I have a dream to visit Antarctica! Introduce Shackleton the penguin The ICELAB’s mascot. Inspired by the book ‘Our ICEBERG is melting’ by John Kotter. I think it is a great analogy of what is happening to traditional retail and recommend every retailer should read it.
- So how does it feel to be a traditional retailer in these unsettling times. The internet is changing everything and if you are in retail it is probably high time you found a new iceberg!
- The humble ice cube. At the ICELAB we feel the icecube is a great building block metaphor for building ecommerce solutions. The solutions need to be cool, they need to be robust but equally it needs to be flexible enough that you can melt it down and form it into new shapes to adapt & change in the future.
- So I starting thinking just exactly how many icecubes will it take to build a cool, robust, practical, successful structure? Could I create a good practice framework for building and implementing any web shop? In version one of the Framework I have considered four broad headings – Design, Security, Features and Rewards.
- Closely coupled with Design is Navigation Alongside Security I have included Customer Support elements of a web shop such as Delivery Information and Terms & Conditions. Clearly there are many ecommerce features so I have started with 75 ice cubes for those and this value can increase over time as other new and important ecommerce features are accepted into the Framework Lastly there is the unseen bit – the sales conversion – is the website actually converting site visitors into sales. This has a separate value and is shown in red as it may be sensitive internal information and not publicly publishable or available.
- This gives a total of 200 ice cubes for a really cool web shop. 150 can be assessed publicly and 50 internally with accurate sales conversion information.
- e.g. www.fredperry.com The overall look & feel of the web shop . Consistent clear menu.
- e.g. www.amazon.co.uk It has been an industry leader for a long, long time so warrants a mention. The overall look & feel of the web shop . Consistent clear menu. Effective use of colours and well executed consistent branding. It often leads the way with new innovative ecommerce features.
- e.g. www.oneill.com The overall look & feel of the web shop . Consistent clear menu. Effective use of colours and well executed consistent branding. Quality of photography and images.
- e.g. www.buy-jeans.net Appropriate highly relevant web address (URL)?
- e.g. www.diy.com Appropriate highly relevant web address (URL)?
- Whatever you do… Please don’t judge the design, navigation, colour scheme and photography yourself – get professional design advice or at minimum ask a dozen of your target audience for constructive feedback & criticism What you think is a 50 out of 50 design may be losing you lots of sales!
- To take online payment securely it is often easiest to do the whole thing via your high street bank. Each of them have an electronic arm – you will need separate internet merchant account. You can use them for online payment processing as well...
- Many 3 rd Party Payment Processing companies are popping up as an alternative. With most you still need an Internet Merchant account with your bank. But some now even offer an internet bank account as part of the deal and you can bypass the high street banks all together.
- If you are taking personal customer information online – there needs to be a Secure Certificate in place. In Internet Explorer this is indicated by the PADLOCK. It basically verifies the fact that data passing between your computer and the website is encrypted and can’t be intercepted. Two main providers Thawte and Verisign. If you use your bank or 3 rd party payment provider this will be provided for you for payment processing. But it may still be worth considering for other secure areas of your site where you are potentially processing sensitive company data.
- It is now law that you need to keep to the PCI (DSS) guidelines - www. pci securitystandards.org
- Customer reviews
- And many, many more…
- You should be constantly Testing And Tracking sales conversion process. Sales conversion is a massive subject! But the key message is you may think you want more and more site visitors. When what you really need to do is convert the ones you already have into sales.
- Bespoke – have it built for you from scratch or a core shopping cart model by web designers & developers. Lots of 3 rd party packages on the market with varying features, costs and levels of quality. Package dilema. They both cool your drink.
- Lots of 3 rd party packages on the market with varying features, costs and levels of quality. Package dilema.
- Lots of 3 rd party packages on the market with varying features, costs and levels of quality. Package dilema.
- My dream is for this person to be me in Antarctica one day – and that’s what I love working for? What’s your dream?
