What you gain with a website or an online store
Picture a shop window that is open around the clock and that does not just show the products but helps the customer buy. In short, a well-made website brings you:
- a clear presentation of the company, for those looking for you;
- online sales, if you have products;
- visibility on Google and a page that is simple to use;
- room to grow as the company gets bigger;
- lower sales and marketing costs;
- a design made for your brand, not a template.
Business website
A business website says in a few seconds what you do, for whom and how to contact you. We have made websites for restaurants, guesthouses, beauty salons, construction companies, furniture makers and medical practices. You will find them in our projects.
A good website does not just look good, it brings in requests. A few examples of what we have built:
- a quote calculator for made-to-measure furniture: the customer picks the pieces they want, sets a budget for each and then gets a personalised quote;
- a website dedicated to quote requests for a waterproofing company, which collects from the start the data the sales team needs;
- at AVBS, a loan broker: step-by-step forms with phone verification by SMS code and a loan calculator that updates the reference interest rates by itself, every day. The company only gets requests with a verified phone number.
Requests can go straight into the CRM, not into an e-mail inbox. See CRM, marketing and leads.
An online store (e-commerce) linked to stock
An online store that does not know what you have in the warehouse sells products you no longer have. That is why we link the store to the ERP:
- orders from WooCommerce, Shopify or Gomag go into the ERP automatically and take stock off;
- the stock in the ERP is updated on the website;
- the AWB for FAN Courier, Sameday or DPD is generated from the order;
- a safety queue keeps requests when a server is down, so no order is lost;
- the loyalty programme, with cards and discount codes, works both online and in the shop.
We also built a marketplace with several sellers, ADK: each seller uploads their products, receives orders and generates AWBs, while the platform collects the online payment and invoices its commission. All the details are on the Online store and marketplace page.
SEO and the visitor's experience
A website that does not show up on Google does not bring customers. We build websites with SEO from the start: we research the words your customers search for, write the content around them and take care of the technical structure.
The design is made for the visitor: they find what they are looking for quickly, read comfortably on the phone and know where to tap to ask for a quote or to buy.
It grows with the business
You add pages, products, languages or new features without rebuilding the site. A business website can later become an online store.
Costs and efficiency
When orders and requests go into the ERP and the CRM by themselves, you no longer pay for hours spent copying data. Sales and marketing cost less.
The stages of building a website or online store
Consulting
We learn what you sell, to whom and what you want the visitor to do on the site.
Design
We lay out the page structure and the design. You see and approve them before any programming.
Development and testing
We build the site and test it on computer and phone, with real forms and payments.
Launch and training
We put the site online and show your team how to add products and pages.
Support after launch
We stay on hand for updates, maintenance and new features.
How we get past the problems of building a website
The link to the programs you use
The website or store connects to the ERP, the CRM, the invoicing program and the couriers. The full list is on the Integrations and automation page.
Choosing the right platform
We tell you what fits: a standard platform such as WordPress, WooCommerce or Shopify, or an application built from scratch, as the ADK marketplace was.
How to choose a supplier for a website or e-commerce
Look at the websites they have already made, at what happens to requests and orders once they come in and at who looks after the site after launch. To see what we can do for your company, write to us.
