Pay attention to the smallest of Detail

The product detail page should provide a greater description of the product. Try to be descriptive but do not stray from the accuracy and true representation of the product. The description is important and should vary from product to product even if they are similar. Google will reward you for the varying content by ranking you well in SERPS – Search Engine Results Pages.

This is a way of increasing your sales on a per transaction basis. Creative Venom, website designers and developers in Kent ensure this process is carried out in a way that is logical to the user and does not act as a deterrent to the initial product that was clicked.

Add to Basket & Checkout must be visible & obvious

The basket or bag page should be simple as it needs to be startling obvious what to do next. The predominant button on this page needs to be the checkout button. This should allow the user to click once (no more) and then be taken to the chosen or preferred payment gateway.
