Ecommerce typically removes the presence of the traditional salesperson altogether—if you're ecommerce site isn't your best salesperson then it's time to rethink your strategy.

When you need help with your ecommerce project, the Houston based development team at Forthea delivers. Forthea specializes in designing and developing ecommerce solutions in popular shopping carts such as Magento and Volusion, in addition to developing and integrating custom ecommerce solutions.

Why Your Business must offer a Solid Ecommerce Experience

According to Forrester Research, online retail in the U.S. is expected to reach nearly $249 billion by 2014. It's predicted that online purchases will account for eight percent of total retail sales by that same time period.

Plus, as consumers increase their habit of researching products online before buying in-store, total retail sales influenced by ecommerce is expected to increase to 53 percent. Bottom line: Commerce, and the general "shopping experience", is moving online.

Whether you want to reach a broader audience beyond your local geographical base, or simply offer your local customers another outlet for research, purchase and interaction, an online store can be an investment that pays off, fast.
