    [FONT=&quot]What is your idea about an ideal online shopping website, be it an online digital music store, toy store or video games store? I think it’s the layout, aesthetics and features that make a website different from another. However there are some factors that are BIG NO while designing your online retail store. The main motto of ecommerce sites is to sell. Designing a website is simply a matter of taste but still there are some points that must be avoided. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Here are some such points that I find all ecommerce sites must avoid: [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Tiny Fonts:[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Since mobile shopping is becoming the latest trend, ecommerce sites must design their site keeping in consideration the convenience of their potential mobile visitors. Using small fonts on your site can make it difficult for mobile users to read it as well as to click without zooming.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]No Shipping Quote:[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Every customer visiting your online retail store will always want to know how much cost will he/she have to pay for a particular product, including its shipping cost. Therefore it is recommended to mention the cost incurred on shipping to your customers as soon as they add a particular product to the shopping cart instead of mentioning it after the customer has submitted all the information about credit card details and so on. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Poor Graphic Design: [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Imagine shopping in a store that smells filthy and is under maintained!! Seems horrifying isn’t it? Same is the case of a poorly designed online shopping website. Even though you might be the best service provider, your website look and graphics can be disappointing for your customers. Remember that the design and presentation of an online music store, toy store or video games store will help to attract customers and add a good memory to their shopping experience as well. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Broken Stuff:[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]If you site has missing images and dead links then it can be very annoying to the user and give a negative impact to them. Ecommerce websites have a number of resources, which include images and other links. It is general for so many mobile items to go wrong at some point. But being the owner of an ecommerce site you must be responsible enough to check such errors and rectify them as soon as possible.[/FONT]
