Knowing how your emails are received is a vital tool and allows you to change what you are doing in line with your recipients’ direct reactions your email.While email is has lost its lustre with a lot of people, and is no longer as exciting as it once was, it is still a tangible and effective way to hold favour with returning customers and to direct them back to your ecommerce solution and ensure repeat business. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-news/get-started-with-email-marketing" >More...</a>]]></description>

This is not their fault. In truth we are all wired to appreciate looks first and foremost, and it is your job, as their guide through your shopping process, to provide them with pleasing and relevant visuals.85% of shoppers cite colour as the reason they buy a certain product.Whether it's the colour of the product itself, the packaging it comes in or even the button you clicked on to buy it, we are all subconsciously affected and influenced by colour. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-news/colour-theory-in-online-marketing" >More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are all use to the standard ecommerce solution featuring a static, background, content, headers and buttons and we have never really experienced that much amazement from simply scrolling up and down a web page. Well all that is about to change as parallax scrolling hits the web in a big way!What is it?A good question, to give a rather brief answer Parallax scrolling is a rather special scrolling technique used in the 2D world of computer games,ecommerce websites and much more (2D stuff). This effect is generated when multiple background images are movedat different rates, slower at the back and faster at the front this creates an illusion of depth in a 2D website. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-news/parallax-scrollingthe-web-gets-more-wonderful" >More...</a>]]></description>

This is especially important in ecommerce web design, where you need to keep your visitor’s attention, not to mention their patience, in order to make sales and keep your ecommerce solution afloat.When navigating an ecommerce webpage, where the visitor looks shouldn’t be an accident. It should be planned and controlled by the designer during the design process. There should be a reason for every visual aspect of every element on the page from where the search box sits to the design of the logo. A sequence of precedence is subconsciously observed by the user of an ecommerce website and the designer should pre-empt this. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-website-design/guiding-the-eye-around-your-ecommerce-design" >More...</a>]]></description>

If you're a toy store you want fun, warm colours. If you're a high-end fashion store you might want dark, moody colours.There are plenty of colour combinations to use for your palette, from the simple opposite and contrasting colour solutions, to a more complex tetrahedral palette. Each of these have different implications for the colour combinations and how your ecommerce website will come across. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-website-design/choosing-your-colour-palette" >More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The importance of colourThe importance of understanding colour in relation to your ecommerce website has been widely documented. When choosing and constructing your colour palette there are a number of things to consider including who your target market is and where on the page you would like them to look and click.Which gender are you targeting?Another consideration is if your target market is specifically one gender more than the other. For example, an ecommerce solution for a fashion store will often focus on a single gender, so the choice of colour must be relevant to the chosen demographic. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-website-design/colours-and-genders" >More...</a>]]></description>

To the subtler, such as the spacing between words, letters, lines, indents for paragraphs and alignment/justification for the whole text.

<description><![CDATA[For people with a keen interest in having an ecommerce web design that specialises in fashion and clothing, it's often women's wear that is the product range of choice. Similarly when it comes to marketing these stores, women have always been the key target market which in all honesty is perfectly understandable. Research shows that women make up around 80% of the purchasing decisions in a household and are statistically more active online for longer periods of time. In addition they are more likely to 'window shop' both in the real world and online.However more recently, ecommerce websites specialising in men's fashion have begun entering the ecommerce market attracting more males to shop online for their clothes. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-solutions/ecommerce-solutions-driving-male-fashion" >More...</a>]]></description>

Drop down menus are nothing but panels that appear temporarily and disappear on their own when the user moves the pointer to another location.Drop down menus make navigating a site extremely simple.  They also eliminate the need for site maps, since the navigation system itself acts just as effectively as site maps.  These features help with breaking down your websites pages in such a way that it’s easy for your visitors to find what they want and it reduces the amount of links to display. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-solutions/drop-down-menus-within-ecommerce-solutions" >More...</a>]]></description>

In June, they experienced the wettest weather ever and this resulted in everyone turning to the internet to shop instead of going outdoors.  Nobody wanted to miss the European Football Championship or the Olympics either and this again is a reason for people to shop indoors where they can watch the televised events without any disruption.  These statistics simply say that the future of ecommerce is bright and promising, but wait, do you have a robust ecommerce solution in place so that your business can be promising too?   If not, then it is high time you have one in place to reap the benefits of ecommerce. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-solutions/olympics-drive-ecommerce-sale-increase" >More...</a>]]></description>

The UK ecommerce industry has significantly grown over the past few years and the rest of the world is following suit, albeit at different speeds. SMEs online should therefore capitalise on the countries that are slower to fully embrace ecommerce and realise its true benefits.

It will allow you to add new products more efficiently by reusing data in several different operations.

The internet has great potential to open up new markets. Firstly, when you sell online your business is open 24/7, which means you can make sales even while asleep. As the world is getting busier and busier with hardly any time to breathe, online stores make it possible to shop at any time and from any location, which is another reason why people are flocking more towards the internet rather than to highstreet shops. Even the top menswear brand, Farrell founded by the pop star, Robbie Williams has launched its first transactional ecommerce website to coincide with the launch of the new AW12 (autumn 12) collection. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-solutions/ecommerce-website-from-robbie-williams-brand" >More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[On the 21st April 2015 Google Mobile's new update which was dubbed 'Mobilegeddon' by the technology press – seemed to make little impact during its first week of being rolled out. The Mobilegeddon moniker springs from the fact that Google have changed their mobile app to make websites that are specially-adapted for mobile phones, to appear at the top of their searches. This new algorithm that Google have introduced to achieve their aims, will leave those businesses, without mobile-friendly websites, potentially left at the bottom of the pile as they seek to promote their services. So far, it has proved to be a little slow but given time, Google expects results to be seen. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/mobile-websites/google-mobiles-mobilegeddon-rolls-out" >More...</a>]]></description>

Until hearing this news I am sure many of us believed that as one of the big four, Morrison’s was in a similar competitive position to Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s. This includes operating a fairly successful ecommerce website that reaches a continually growing market of online grocery shoppers. However upon reflection of this news, and after browsing their website, I came to realise that the only supermarket branded, domestic delivery van I never saw was a Morrison’s vehicle. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-solutions/its-never-too-late-to-develop-a-ecommerce-website" >More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Play.com, a leading online retailer of predominantly DVDs, CDs, games, books, gadgets and more; has announced they will be closing their direct retail business in favour of the online marketplace. The reason for this change is partly down to the UK governments decision to no longer allow Low Value Consignment Relief (LVCR) on goods imported to the UK from the Channel Islands, where Play.com is based. The LVCR allowed products priced 15 and under to be sold VAT-free which meant better business for Play.com and stiffer competition to UK based e-commerce websites. Play.com began solely as an e commerce website selling to customers, and then later they adopted an online marketplace system to provide buyers and sellers an alternative eBay like community to operate in. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/multichannel-ecommerce/play-com-marketplace-is-good-news-for-ecommerce" >More...</a>]]></description>

Directly affecting the way a consumer interacts and feels towards your website, colour choices will impact the subconscious mind and influence customer experience. Similar to imagery, colours are a way of communicating a certain feeling or emotion without physically expressing it. Called colour psychology, the study of colours is shown to be directly affected by social conditioning and colour association.

Used on most warning and stop signs, the red expresses imminent danger and a call for attention. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-solutions/colourful-ecommerce-solutions" >More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We’ve come a long way since the rise of ecommerce websites, so today we examine    responsive ecommerce and web design. Let’s see where it all     began!The Origins Of Responsive EcommerceMobile web browsing started in the dark days with WAP, a heavily criticised and underdeveloped application – causing mobiles to crash, ignore     users’ commands, and simply behave like a revenge-raged teenager. Two years later, though still in its infancy, mobile browsing improves with CSS and     Javascript.In 2001, Amazon is the first ecommerce website to launch a mobile website. Designers were still presented with limitations however, and it     wasn’t until 2007 when Apple introduces its iPhone - with full integrated web browsing and downloadable apps – that m-commerce is advanced that     little bit further toward a brighter and more interactive future. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-solutions/the-history-and-evolution-of-responsive-ecommerce" >More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We should 'embrace the fact that the web doesn't have the same constraints' as it used to, says web developer and designer Ethan Marcotte in his article 'Responsive Web Design' for A List Apart design magazine (2010).    Responsive ecommerce isn't just another internet fad, it's the future     of web design and a sure-fire way to bring you results. But what is it exactly and how can it help my SEO campaign?
How SEO And Responsive Ecommerce Work Together

They can expand, contract,     rearrange or remove content based upon the user's screen size and device. <a href="https://www.storeexpress.co.uk/ecommerce-blog/ecommerce-solutions/how-responsive-ecommerce-can-benefit-your-seo" >More...</a>]]></description>
