Cumulative data from Statista anticipates a 246.15% increase in worldwide ecommerce sales, from $1.3 trillion in 2014 to $4.5 trillion in 2021. That’s a nearly threefold lift in online revenue.

When you surf an e-commerce website, your first impulse is how good the website appears due to its design, how engaging it is due to ease of navigation and this instantly creates an image in your mind about the proficiency of web designer. You build up a notion about the developer that it’s a professional and reliable developer. 

The awareness and the urge of brands and businesses to create an online presence with their business has created considerable latitudes for many e-commerce website development companies to come up with exhaustive solutions. The number of agencies giving brands and businesses e-commerce web solutions is overwhelming and thus requires a particular brand to find an analogy between their products/services and the service providers while “hiring a web development agency” for their e-commerce website! 

It is significant that your main business objective is always fulfilled. Apart from being an engaging and aesthetic website which is definitely a bonus, an ideal e-commerce website must accelerate revenue generation by means of boosting sales and profits. It is equally important that the e-commerce website for your business should be able to drive sales and fetch profits apart from being just aesthetically pleasing.
All of us are aware of the pool of service providers when it comes to web developers for an e-commerce website, but narrowing it down to “hiring a web development agency” who keeps your business goals and objectives in a hindsight is a tough ask. That is where we, Auxesis Infotech, come into action. We have built a number of e-commerce websites for our clients and share a healthy working relationship with them.

There are a certain set of things to be kept in mind while “hiring a web development agency” for an e-commerce website :

 

Always go through the Portfolio

Go through the developer’s or web developing company’s previous works. It gives a fair idea of their skill set, abilities in developing an e-commerce website and whether their style of work rhymes with the kind of website you want.

 

Ask for references

Whenever you hire a freelancer for any of your project, you always ask for references of their earlier projects. Similarly, while “hiring a web developer” for your e-commerce website, it is significant to request and catch up with at least three references. You need to understand and know about the developer’s quality of work, their project delivery status, and how systematically do they manage their work.

 

Experience is the best result

The age-old saying “Old is Gold” applies perfectly here. Website development and design is a skill that is enhanced with the completion of every project. So, while considering to “hire a web development agency” for your e-commerce website, make sure the agency has worked on similar projects in the past and delivered substantial web solutions to their clients. Interestingly, you may come across a lot of certified developers in the process. Although a degree holder knows his stuff, yet experience, especially in this case, is more critical than a degree and holds more value. 

 

Be aware of a developer’s coding skills

A good development agency consists of developers who are proficient in coding skills like CSS, HTML, XML & PHP to create aesthetically pleasing and attractive websites by utilizing different arenas and web tools. You need to have an idea about the code best suited for your e-commerce website and duly hire an agency which specializes in the particular coding language.

 

The suitable choice of platform for you

Which platform or CMS do you indented to choose? Word Press or Drupal or Square space? or Hub Spot? An ideal web development agency can take right decisions for you or your organization in choosing the right CMS or platform by meeting your exact requirements. 

 

Work statement is mandatory

A statement of work (SoW) is a document routinely employed in the field of project management. It defines project-specific activities, deliverables, and timelines for a vendor providing services to the client. The SOW typically also includes detailed requirements and pricing, with standard regulatory and governance terms and conditions. It is often an important accompaniment to a master service agreement or request for the proposal (RFP). (Source: Wikipedia).

Before you “hire a web development agency” for your e-commerce website, make it a point to get a statement of work. Additionally, make it a point that meeting deadlines are compulsory. If the agency can’t illustrate the project in the statement of work, don’t hire them because otherwise, it would be like a football team competing in a match without a manager laying down the match strategy for them.

 

Own your website’s content

It’s essential to get signature from your website development agency over intellectual property rights. In case you need to sell your website in the future due to any reason, you need to get such agreements on your site for avoiding any problems over rights of a website and its content. In case an agency is not on the same page on this and reluctant to sign such rights, don’t consider hiring such agency.
