Development and creation of an online shop or marketplace
Shopping on the Internet has become an indispensable component of modern life. Unlike ordinary shops, online services are ready to provide detailed product descriptions, expert advice, and prompt delivery of purchases to the door. In this case, the customer does not have to spend a large amount of personal time. However, in order to realise all these conveniences, an online shop must be designed as competently as possible, taking into account the interests of potential buyers.

Online shop development
Creating an online shop requires a step-by-step and sequential process:
- create a detailed structure of the future shop and technical specification describing all the features of each typical page;
- think out the logic of interaction with the user, auxiliary elements and modules that will help to orientate, get an answer to your question, compare and choose the best product, make an order;
- create and approve the design layout, taking into account the desired style and the given structure;
- go to the software stage and test the work of the ready resource.
Marketplace development
We create scalable solutions for online sales - from small shops to full-fledged marketplaces with thousands of products and multiple sellers.
An extended structure is being developed for marketplaces with role systems: personal offices for sellers, buyers and moderators. Data protection and transaction security are implemented.
Projects include:
- Optimisation of catalogues;
- Implementation of smart search and filters so that users find what they need in seconds;
- Integration with payment systems, delivery services, CRM and analytics systems;
- adaptive layout and high performance on all devices;
- SEO-optimisation and technical readiness for promotion;
- configuration of data exchange with customer's accounting systems;
- permanent technical support after launch: updates, fixes and consultations.
What else to look out for
- Quality of product demonstration. Detailed photos, 3D-visualisations and other visual options significantly increase the likelihood of purchase.
- Literate text content. The user should not only see the product, but also have a detailed idea of it, which is achieved through the text content of the site.
- Comfortable product catalogue. Proper catalogue navigation is as easy as possible for a user with any experience in the network.
- Communication tools. An important role is played by the opportunities for communication, implemented in the functional structure of the site - the buyer must have a constant opportunity to communicate with the administration of the shop or manager for consultation.

What is important when designing an online shop
Before creating an online shop, specialists take into account the design preferences of the manager. It is also decided what to choose: a unique resource design or to base future work on a ready-made template - both options have their advantages.
- A selling website with creative design requires some time for development. Here designers take into account every nuance, guaranteeing the output of the most thoughtful design and optimal structure for the type of your products.
- The advantages of an online shop, created on the basis of a ready-made template, are also obvious - it is a ready-made structure, designed with the development of modern online shopping, as well as the presence of all the necessary options for the implementation of activities: linking to social networks, different options for product placement pages, one-click purchase or automatic communication with a consultant, etc. The manager gets the opportunity to launch the resource in the shortest possible time, having at his disposal a limited budget.
