E-commerce websites are used for on-line transactions
, typically on-line shops or websites that can take payments forsubscriptions& on-line sales.
So if you are considering getting an e-commerce website set up there are a few things to consider before selecting an agency to put one together.
1/ Your budget
2/ How many pages
3/ Payment gateway
4/ Website Design Company
Relying on an agency to put together the plan (or brief) will normally bechargeableand it may be weighted in the design agencies favour.
E-commerce websites will vary in price, depending on the number of pages, the websitedesign, what sort and number of products that you are considering selling on the site. Prices typically range from around 10,000 up to around 100,000. Going to an agency with a rough budget will let the agency know what sort of site you are after. It is possible to get a basic e-commerce website set up and then getting add-ons later on (additional pages can be added later as well as products to sell on the site).
There are a few companies that provide payment gateways, but a couple of the most common and most trusted are SagePay and Paypoint.net. It would be best to go with a recognised payment gateway rather than a lesser known one - as it builds confidence with your website visitors.
There are a lot of marketing companies offering website design services, thousands actually, so it would be best to compare a few local agencies prices.
