website design company in ayrshire developing ecommerce integration for local business
Easy to use & maintain
A well designed e-commerce website enables your customers to find the products they are looking for easily. When the products are displayed, the infomation provided must be relevant and helpful in making a purchase decision.
The website owner must be able to maintain the online stock, adding and changing products as often as required.
A bespoke e-commerce website solution will be designed around your business needs, rather than forcing your business into a pre-defined template.
If it's not an immediate business requirement, a well designed database driven website can always have the e-commerce capability integrated at some time in the future.
Building your customer's confidence
Online payments are made by your customers using either a debit or credit card. At NSD Web we always use a third party secure gateway for the actual transaction, no credit card details are ever stored in your own database, and as the merchant you never even see the customer's card details.
It's important that your customers feel confident that your website is secure when making the purchase, otherwise they will simply buy elsewhere.
As the retailer, you also need to consider a distance selling returns policy for your customers, it's not enough just to supply the goods!
A secure payment gateway to process transactions
In order to process an online credit card payment you will need a payment gateway. The payment gateway acts as an intermediary between your website, through which customers make their purchases, and all the financial networks, including the customer’s card issuer and your Internet Merchant Account. At the point of checkout, the payment gateway must receive information from your shopping system, into which your customer has placed their selected goods.
At NSD Web we work with Paypoint.net ~ [ Previously known as SecPay ]
With Paypoint.net you will be allocated an account on their secure server, with the flexibility to develop a payment screen which looks exactly like the rest of your website. From a users perspective this builds confidence that you are serious about your companies image.

Being totally computer illiterate, I was a little concerned about taking on a new web site that was going to introduce me to new technology and would require some technical input on my part.
However, after a couple of initial meetings to establish my requirements, followed by a further 4 or 5 meetings to fine tune the site, my fears were unfounded. Stephen explained the process, in simple terms, step by step along the way with much patience and understanding.
I am delighted with the finished result of my web site. NSD Web have delivered everything I had envisaged. Thank you.

Excellent personal service from a company who can clear out the technobabble and make it understandable to normal people. They bend over backwards to find out what you need, always listen to you, and put together a cracking, eye-catching design.
Good, clear communication every step of the way without being pushy, understanding that we are trying to run a business at the same time and don't get too upset when we miss the deadlines because of this!

Thank you once again for your advice regarding our website development. NSD Web have, over the years, provided a first class professional service underpinned by reliable ongoing technical assistance and support.
The Allenwest Wallacetown website has developed in functionality and complexity over time, providing an essential element of our company's global marketing strategy. For example last years development of a bilingual English/Chinese option was invaluable for our export team to develop the key Chinese market place. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.

A true eCommerce facility will be designed around your business needs and not force you into a predetermined template.
Ordering products or services online is now an accepted practice. All our eCommerce sites can have a full range of secure on-line payment options, but if your customers want an account order rather than paying by card - that's fine, we can do that too.
Details of the products you offer will all be stored in a database, this will allow users to select from categories which you define e.g. model type, manufacturer etc
The ordering system should always be displayed as an integral part of your website, not as an obvious 'bolt-on' extra. To build customer confidence your website look & feel should be evident throughout the entire process of selecting, buying, providing delivery details and finally payment.
take control of your own website easily with our content management system
