Ecommerce Website Development

The first step in any project is to understand the project requirements. We will sit down with you and gather as much information as possible about your business model, revenue model, your competitors and your objective. After carefully collecting your inputs we will suggest you an appropriate platform, framework for ecommerce website development.

After we finalize on the platform or framework, we move to charting out a roadmap of ecommerce website development. We prepare mockups and interaction screens to arrive at a blueprint of the project. We also involve you in this step because it is really helpful for the next phases. After a broad blueprint is approved, we move on to actual designing and development.

This is where the magic happens, we assign roles and responsibility to different teams at Redballoon. They work together in tandem to create an optimal output. We also provide you with a single point of contact who will keep you informed about the developments on your project. He will also clear any doubts and clarifications.

After the work is complete we present you with the first demo of the project. The first demo includes complete layout, colors, ui, fonts and images. We first put dummy text so that you can assess the look and feel of the project without providing any data. We carefully follow your brand guidelines while developing the first demo.

We understand that data may take some time, once the work is complete, out team creates the menu, categories, products and their descriptions. We also put your content in the about us, team section etc. We also have templates for various policies such as shipping, cancellations and returns etc that are required on the website, we will give you these templates and you can edit them and give them back to us for placement on the website.

We will apply for the payment gateway on your behalf, we will help you in filling up all the necessary details. A payment gateway vendor requires some information such as your, company name, bank letter, gst number, pan number etc. Once these details are complete, the vendor then attaches the payment gateway to your bank account. After the payment gateway is activated, we do some simple test transactions to make sure that everything is in order.

Once every module is integrated, we do a real world testing of your website. This helps us resolve any UI issues, technical issues that may arise due to number of factors. Your website will be tested by developers and laymen both. We will resolve any errors or bugs that will help us in arriving at a finished product. We also take your inputs during testing. We will encourage you to do a pilot run of the project.

After successful pilot run of the project, we make arrangements for setting up a VPS or a dedicated server which can handle your website well. We put detailed directives in relation to security and process management. We also block your website to crawlers and we also put various security protocols to protect your website from bots and malicious attacks.

Once everything is setup and good to go, we push your website live on the decided dates and we monitor the entire project so that there are no problems and your website runs smoothly. At this time we make sure that your website is indexable and any dummy literature is completely removed from the website. We also install an SSL to make sure that your website has an additional layer of security.

We make sure that you get a backend that is easy to handle and needs no technical prowess. We give an extensive training to your project manager or operations guy for website management. Website can be managed easily with the help of few forms. We will train your guy(s) on how to add products, categories and discounts. We will also train them on other aspects of website maintenance like clearing sessions, abandoned carts etc. All this requires no technical knowledge. Its a simple process and anyone can learn it.
