If you ever wonder how to create successful e-commerce sites, we can wrap-up and conclude the things most successful e-commerce sites have in common. I have composed some thoughts on this matters for us to discuss below.

1. How the e-commerce sites organized, designed and developed?

   How the selling goods categorized? Is site easily navigated? How easy is it for visitors to find the stuff they’re looking for?

   Functional, excellent accessibility, clean, professional & good looking sites are highly desireable here. Having a good web development firm to do the job is a wise choice especially when you’re not familiar or only know a bit about developing ecommerce sites (would you consider us for this job? olala..).

   Are stuff and category offered way too many and unmanageable that they overwhelmed plus scared visitors off? More often, selling focus for a niche market is more effective and profitable.

   How superior are the stuff’s images shot & displayed? don’t forget, the images displayed are the representative of the real products. You’ve got to have decent digital camera, photo studio and photography skills or let a professional photographer to do this job.
    

2. How well is the customers services?
   Top e-commerce sites were built on repeated customers buying. Repeated customers were satisfied buyers who do repeated buying because the previous purchases were okay.

   That’s said, your most potential buyers most probably are your previous customers. So, excellent customers services is a mandatory. Handle well shipping & handling, complaints on purchased goods, queries, special request, etc, and you win customers’ hearts which encourage them to buy more and tell good experience to friends more.
    

3. Do the selling stuff fit the sellable goods for e-commerce sites?
   So far history taught us: books (Amazon, Barnes & Noble), digital music (iTunes, Napster), gadgets (Apple Store, Amazon, Circuit City), computers (Dell, HP, Apple Store), clothes fashions (JC Penney, Marks & Spencer, Victoria’s Secret, many more), software (Adobe, Microsoft), shoes (Zappos), jewelry (Blue Nile) and other more fit for online selling.
