E-commerce website design will lay the foundation for increased traffic.

There are several aspects to a good e-commerce website design.

One is the theme and page presentation. Another aspect is ease of use. A third aspect is multiple choices for your customers.

Any one of these could cause customer dissatisfaction and have them checking out your competition.

Let's review the three aspects of quality e-commerce design:

• Theme and page presentation. The theme must be consistent from one page to the next. The presentation needs to be simple, yet not too simple as to appear plain. The choice of colors can be eye catching, yet at the same time showcase a professional business. Most links to the other pages are on the left hand side, with a header and footer. The header allows you to keep brand consistency between pages and the footer provides links to the less-used links, such as Site Maps, Corporate Information, and Terms of Service.
• Your customers will easily give up and move to any of a number of other sites should you make your e-commerce site too difficult to use. It is important to keep the site easy to use and make directions easy to follow for even those computer users that struggle with turning it on. At the same time, your site must provide functionality for your most literate computer users. Balancing these two extremes is tricky, but can be accomplished with some thought, work and user surveys.
• Consumers want choices. If one doesn't have their MasterCard today, but does have access to PayPal, you must allow them to complete the purchase without having to stop the process. Some customers like to browse the catalog for those travel specials you might have available. Other customers know exactly what they want and wish to navigate directly to the product.
