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.

I want to share our wonderful experience working with Meta. We decided to start our own fitness game company in 2016. When I spoke with Anton (Managing Partner), we discussed the project in detail; he listened to everything we needed, provided constructive advice, and within two to three days, we already had a budget for the entire project at very reasonable prices compared to other companies. The entire work was delivered perfectly and on time. Since we are based in France, all our negotiations were conducted via Skype, and there were no difficulties working remotely. Whenever bugs or errors appeared, at any time of day, we contacted Olga, the project lead, and she always responded immediately, resolving the issue. We are very satisfied with the work and want to thank you for your effort and professionalism.

At the time of contacting the company Meta Sistem, we had a website, but it did not suit us. Meta System was chosen by chance, through a search engine. We turned to the company for revisions, but the company's manager recommended us to make a new website according to our requirements. I would especially like to note the friendliness of the staff and the attention to our wishes. We have successfully passed the intermediate stage of website creation. We continue our joint cooperation. Request: taking into account the peculiarities of managing the administrative part of the website, I would like to receive the necessary tips for work in the form of screenshots. It will be very accessible and convenient, especially if they are organized into categories. Thank you! I wish success and implementation of the most daring endeavors to this young, nice and ambitious team.

Despite the large amount of work, the studio completed the order. The developers have embodied all our wishes, both regarding the design and the structure of the website. In addition, it should be noted, the creativity of the young studio team, which allows them to create modern designs and find original solutions to emerging problems.

We were constantly having problems with the work of our old website. The products couldnt be downloaded, the placement of orders did not always work, what led to a loss of customers. We decided to contact the company Meta to create a new online store. Firstly, the work was completed on time and qualitatively, there are no problems with the catalogue, what is important for us and our customers.

We had a rather complex project with a range of differences; hence we chose a web studio that would be able to accomplish the goals over a long time. We worried about co-operating with a foreign contractor, however, the Meta Sistem employees listened to our wishes very attentively and had a very responsible attitude to the development process. The distance was not a problem as all working issues were promptly settled via Skype conferences. We would particularly like to mention the commitment, attention to details and responsiveness of their employees. Their manager was always connected, even outside office hours. Our project was implemented during those four promised months, considering all the changes we made in the course of the project development. So, we only have a positive impression. We have many project development plans, so we will be glad to continue our co-operation with Meta Sistem company in the future.

For a long time we were looking for someone to order the development of our website, finally we turned to the company "Meta" and it was right. The work was done at the highest level and for an adequate fee. The guys "got" the design right from the first time, it was approved almost instantly, and the website itself was ready even a few days before the deadline, for what reason we were pleasantly surprised. The technical support responds instantly, all points are discussed and solved without problems. The website is very fast and really pleasing to the eye. It was a pleasure for us to work with the company "Meta" and we will surely contact you again in the future.
