Project Overview: We require a user-friendly, easy-to-navigate e-commerce website that follows best practices for online stores. The site should allow for simple product uploads, inventory management, and product customisation. Initially, products will be sourced from a third-party supplier and will need to be rebranded before being uploaded.
Key Features and Requirements:
E-commerce Platform: The website should be built on a reliable platform such as Shopify or WooCommerce, and include essential e-commerce features like product categories, a shopping cart, checkout, and payment gateway integration.
Product Management: An intuitive backend system for easy product uploads and management. The process must allow rebranding products (e.g., changing names, descriptions, logos) before upload.
Rebranding Process: Products need to be rebranded before upload, including updates to product names, descriptions, logos, and other branding elements for consistency.
User Interface and Experience: A clean, modern, and minimalistic design focused on simplicity. The site should be mobile-responsive, ensuring it works across all screen sizes.
Navigation: Simple, clear navigation with well-organised categories, filters, and a search function for ease of use. This should help users find products quickly and efficiently.
Checkout Process: The checkout process should be streamlined with minimal steps. It should include guest checkout, payment gateway integration (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), and order review.
SEO and Performance: Optimise the site for search engines to ensure good visibility. The website should load quickly, using best practices like image compression and caching to improve speed.
Security: The site must be secure, with SSL certificates and data protection measures in place (e.g., GDPR compliance).
Maintenance and Scalability: The site should be scalable to accommodate product growth. It must be easy to add new products, categories, and features as the business grows.
Stock and Inventory Management: Basic inventory tracking and stock level alerts are required. Integration with stock management tools may be needed as the business expands.
Email Marketing: The site should integrate with email marketing tools (e.g., Mailchimp) for customer engagement, abandoned cart recovery, and promotions.
Social Proof: Features like customer reviews and ratings on product pages to build trust and improve conversion rates.
Shipping and Tax: Automatic shipping and tax calculation based on customer location, with integration to courier services (e.g., Royal Mail, DHL).
Returns and Refunds: A clear returns and refunds policy integrated into the site, allowing easy processing of returns or exchanges.
Analytics and Reporting: Integration with Google Analytics to track website traffic, sales, and customer behaviour. The backend should include basic reporting for tracking sales and inventory.
Product Information: The site will initially feature a moderate to large selection of products, with the ability to expand. Products will need to be rebranded before upload, with guidelines for consistent product presentation.
Design Inspiration: A minimalist, professional design.
