Web Design and the design of the conventional shop have many similarities. This is mainly because both survive on the buyers. The major difference between the two is that while the conventional shop is real the website belongs to the virtual world of internet.
While there is a sales person to pitch forth the buyer in a conventional shop, the website cannot speak and convince like a human. The technology has developed a lot to get rid of the loop holes or the weak points of the websites.
One major similarity between the two is pertaining to how the shopping is done by the buyer. Usually everyone after entering any store gets a cart to put in the items they have selected to buy. Most of the people do not pay any attention to the need of the cart, but if one were to think about the consequences, if the carts were not allowed to be used in the shopping centre, he/she would immediately realize the relevance of cart in the conventional shop. The first thing that would come in mind is the physical limitation of carrying all the items in and around the shop. It would be difficult to simultaneously handle the list of things to be bought and the things you have already selected.
These same principles are applicable to the ecommerce websites too.
Shopping carts are now becoming an integral part of the web design. The prime reasons for this are as follows.
The competition compels the business to offer the buyer as much facilities as possible.
The user on opening the shopping cart comes to know what he/she has already bought and what is pending. This also helps in avoiding extra expenses on the part of the buyer.
As the buyer adds the selected goods to the shopping cart, he/she also gets to know the value of purchases made. The price tags help the buyer to do the shopping in limits. If the total amount mentioned on the shopping cart is not within the budget then the buyer can also remove the selected item from the shopping cart.
Some the most important aspects of a shopping cart are as follows.
The icon of the shopping cart should be present on every page of the website so that the buyer can easily come to know what he/she has selected and what not.
The process of check out after adding to the shopping cart needs to be made as simple as possible.
When the visitor is checking out, the navigation should be made so easy that not a single step is missed. Even if one step of check out is missed, there is a possibility of the order getting cancelled.
