eCommerce

From an enticing virtual shop front to a hassle-free checkout, we will craft a powerful, conversion-driven eCommerce site with a rewarding user experience.

eCommerce

If you’re an online retailer, you need to think beyond simply offering your customers a virtual catalogue. You need conversion-driven design, brand consistency and an intuitive User Experience that can adapt to ever-changing global trends. 

When COVID-19 forced retailers into a hard reset, companies with a strong eCommerce foundation were able to reboot quicker, and thrive against the odds. Even before 2020, global online sales were rising rapidly, but within three months, COVID-19 had accelerated eCommerce growth by 4 to 6 years, with the rest of the world largely following the dramatic trend in the US.

If you’re an online retailer who hasn’t accelerated into this fast lane yet, your survival chances are slipping away. The .IE Tipping Point Report 2021 found that even when the pandemic is over, 43% of Irish people will shop only for necessities in-store, so retailers need to get ready to meet this demand.

The Tipping Point Report also found that 50% of companies who had invested in eCommerce maintained their same level of business pre-pandemic, while 28% were even busier than they were before COVID-19.

You need conversion-driven design, brand consistency and an intuitive user experience that delivers a streamlined journey from homepage to checkout. We can get you up to speed, and help grow your business in domestic and international markets.

In the last 12 months, we’ve helped dozens of retailers grow their online channel to be as big as their physical stores. The Matrix team has been an active partner in many eCommerce success stories, delivering world class platforms through innovative technology and user-centric design.

If your website is struggling with low conversion rates, poor sales or frustrating abandoned carts, we’ll make sure you catch up with the competition, and give you an edge in all the essential areas.

You need to understand your audience through engaging User Experience design that inspires a streamlined buying process. It’s all about standing out by creating convenience for the buyer. If you give visitors a memorable experience they’ll become loyal customers, and you can use powerful analytics to develop strategies that work.

And don’t be afraid to try new strategies, or you’ll always be trying to catch up with competitors. As US business pioneer George Welch once said: “Change before you have to.”
