1. Doggedness

Have you ever heard the popular tale of the man who tried to invent the light bulb 99 times before he finally got it right? That is the exact same spirit you need to employ in this line of business. In fact, it is the main quality you need to succeed at anything you lay your hands on. The never-give-up till you get it right mentality will push you to stay awake all night designing a website while your friends cozy up in the bed right next to you. If you quit things as soon as you begin them, you cannot make waves in e-commerce.

 

2. Be Quick

After you must have digested your idea in your mind, it is necessary for you to act on it. Do not procrastinate your plans to launch that website in a bid to avoid your plans falling through. The same speed which you used to create the website should be at the same pace with the speed which your website has to have. If your customers find it difficult to load pages on your website, it would discourage them from patronizing you. The maximum time it should take for each page on your website to load should be nothing less than 2 seconds. Anything more than this, your customers would back off because nobody wants to grow old while trying to load a page on a website.

 

3. Test before Launching

Before your website swings into full action, make sure you test and check out everything on it to ensure they are in perfect shape. It is very important to test your websites’ speed with application like Pingdom or Google PageSpeed. This will make it easy for you to detect the errors before your customers figure them out. It will also assist you in correcting the errors before launching the site to the public.

 

4. Use Responsive Designs

Using responsive designs simply means your site will always fit into any device a visitor is using. This will make the visitor more comfortable with using your website as he would not need to keep minimizing or maximizing icons to fit into his device. Most importantly, your website must be mobile phone friendly. Majority of websites visitors are mobile phone users so, if you neglect them, how do you intend to generate massive traffic?
