It might seem like an impossible feat, but it really isn’t. There are various website design agency options available. The Internet has infiltrated every aspect of our lives. We use it while we work and we use it while we’re home for entertainment. More than that though, we use it for shopping which is where Ecommerce comes in.

It is estimated that by 2024, ecommerce revenue will be above $476 billion dollars. While once ecommerce was considered something futuristic and strange, it is now commonplace. Any business looking to succeed has to have a web presence and an ecommerce component to their business model. Without it, they will miss out on customers and revenue.

How do you Design a Website for Ecommerce?

There are various considerations involved when designing an ecommerce site. Choosing a domain name and a development platform, not to mention finding hosting services. There are a lot of decisions that need to be made.

Can I Build an Ecommerce Website Myself?

While anything is possible and building an ecommerce website is one of them, there are some drawbacks in doing so. Certainly, there are great free platforms available which include tutorials and step-by-step development guidance, but there is a learning curve. If you are looking to put together a professional, engaging site, on your own, it might take a while to work out the bugs and get it online.

MacRAE's has been an amazing partner to Pathway Communications for its digital marketing efforts. There we worked with Sakshi who was our Account manager. We have nothing but great things to say for her! She is extremely thorough professional and responsive to any requests we may present. She has the required expertise and experience in the digital marketing space which helped us in getting the desired results. Her team has helped increase our organic sessions on our website with continual month over month increase. Our keyword rankings have increased and we have seen so much more traffic to our website. We cannot thank them enough for all of the hardwork and effort put in to making Pathway's digital presence felt.
