Web Design for E-commerce

2020 has been a challenging year for everyone. Schools are closed and restaurants are only open to serve to-go orders. In-short many businesses are affected and some are already preparing for closure. With this, you begin to ponder: what is the best alternative for a dying business affected by this pandemic? Since everyone is digitally connected and it is mandatory to stay at home, bringing your ballgame online is one of the best options. This practice is what we call e-commerce.


So, what is e-commerce?

For those who don't know, e-commerce (electronic commerce) is all about the buying and selling of goods and services through the internet. Payment transactions can depend on a business’s preferences. At times, there are optional payment methods for cash on delivery or, for that extra layer of security, you could opt for credit/debit card payments or online transfers. For the goods, you could simply have it delivered or have your client pick the item up. During this digital era, everything is linked online and everything is just a keystroke away.


Now that I know what e-commerce is, what's next?

For your product to get noticed online, you need to have either a social media account or a website that people could visit. If you're a starter or just about to begin your business, social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram will usually help you get visible. You just need to attract the right audience by joining the right groups and boost your e-commerce website sales. 


For example, you're selling cakes, then groups that discuss desserts should be the ones you participate in. Once your audience is starting to grow through, social media platforms can only get you so far. That being said, the next step is to own a website where you can properly market your products. For this to work, you could either create your own or seek the services of a web design agency.


Although going solo may be tempting since it’s cheaper than any other alternative, going for a web design agency is still the best course of action. With agencies, you can lay down all your ideas and how you’d want your website to look like, and they’ll take care of all the technicalities and the hard-to-understand details. Another plus of working with a web design agency is that they already possess all the know-how to easily attract your target market to your market as soon as it's live.


So, are you ready to take the leap? I have listed the top 5 web design agencies in Singapore. Check out their websites and ask for a quotation. You could also view their portfolio online and decide which one you think would be able to cater to all your needs.  

1. Verz Design
2. eFusion Technology
3. FirstCom Solutions
4. 24k Designs
5. MediaOne


The parting shot.

Whatever web development company you choose to start-up your business with, always remember that having your merchandise online is now the new trend, and getting a web developer to help you create your business online is indeed one of the wisest things you'll do. Just remember that when choosing a web design and development agency, make sure to check their profile first and see how their previous clients rate them, if they offer support and most importantly, your compatibility with them. When it comes to this, it is essential that the agency you’re about to work with gets along with you well and shares your vision, goals and direction for your business. Remember, for online businesses, quality trumps quantity.

Basic Dog Grooming Steps

  It is another beautiful Saturday morning. Waking up late during the weekend is such a bliss. As your pooch jumps into your bed to give its daily morning routine of facial kisses, you suddenly smell something sour and pungent. When you open your eyes, you realise with dread that your dog needs a grooming session badly. Dog Grooming Basics Dog grooming is not just about bathing the dog. You also need to have the right tools to properly do it. Make sure you've got the basics: dog comb or brush, clippers, shears and a hair blower. Of course, don’t forget dog soap and shampoo. Make sure you know the condition of the pooch you’re about to groom before you use a scented one as it may irritate those who have sensitive skin or are under treatment. If you want to add style, having different blades will also do the trick.  My first client was Kobe, a 1-year old Pekinese and her fur-mom wanted a Lion Cut. A lion cut resembles that of a wild lion’s: thick head, shaved body and legs and a...
