In
preparation for opening your commerce Web site,
you've completed all the off-line requirements. Your
online transaction systems are all in place. So,
what's the storefront actually going to look like?
At GCS, storefronts are designed meticulously to
attract and engage your audience. Although we must
adhere to certain parameters inherent to commerce
scripts, we never sacrifice aesthetics. Surfing from
aisle to aisle to checkout counter, your shoppers
enjoy the same attractive, seamless design that is
characteristic of your site's non-commerce pages.
GCS works with you to design an item display cell
that best showcases your product line. Each item is
introduced as a small thumbnail image. Clicking the
small image displays a larger version of the product
on its own page. This popular format allows you to
display more items on the screen without increasing
the page's loading time.
The only thing worse than waiting to see the product
is not seeing the item at all. Your customers will
want to see what they're buying, so plan to make
your best graphics available for your storefront.
Ask us about optimizing your images to further
decrease loading times.
GCS takes additional steps to make your store
user-friendly. Many sites display products for sale,
yet the user must print out a form, then fax or send
it to the Web site owner. With GCS electronic
commerce expertise, customers move comfortably
through virtual aisles, picking and choosing items
as they go. They proceed to the check-out stand and
supply their personal and credit card information.
Sales are finalized when they submit the form to the
"order desk" over a secure channel.
