In continuation with the second part we would highlight here some important points same as in part 1 that may not seem to be as they are. Read here to check if you are on the right track or not.

3) Too many designers are good but check with them you might be wrong

A team with expert people is good for your project, but at the same time you must consider who will be involved in the design process. It is important to know how much is too much. A bunch of professionals may come up with a brilliantly created custom eBay storefront design or else bring a project to a halt because everyone can’t come together on one decision.

A design must be a virtual salesman helping your buyers to buy desired products in time. They should speak to the needs of the buyer in a way that inspires buyer to purchase more from you. To create such an intelligent design you need to check upon the portfolio, staff & client reviews of the vendor offering design services.

An ideal person who is responsible for your store design will have to use your business goals, product summary & inputs while doing the design job. All these information matters a lot in store design rather than a big fat team of designers.

4) Do some paper work before design work

Don’t simply let things evolve – in simple words there should be a defined process of your custom eBay storefront design work & more importantly it should be in writing in the form of a contract. Go into a formal contract with your designer & that will bond both of you in terms of design expectations, pricing, timelines, revisions etc. Without defining these things might put you in a situation of never ending design mockups & unconcealed creativity.

Check with your store design service vendor whether they practice healthy paper work that is in the similar interest of both of you. A lot of disappointment can be restrained by defining certain things on paper before starting the actual work.

Reputable firms like us do the same with every project we deal with. This way you come to know who is doing what; unnecessary delays & confusion will be avoided. Paper work gives a flexible approach to the creative process.

5) Scrutinize your current store before designing a new one

You may be a frontline seller or a newbie, but gathering analytics for a new project is of crucial importance & this is applicable to both you & the one who is designing your store. Sellers pay less attention to this vital process & eventually spoil the essence of design.

Ordering a new design without observing loop holes in the current one will only lead to repeat the same problems. Hence, what is the ultimate solution?

Look for someone who can help you in this data analytic process – he/she can guide you on what to look for in the data. Ask your buyers what they want in a new design? Take their suggestions. Involve your friends & family members to review, compare both old & new designs on the scale of speed, performance, functions, user friendly etc.
