If you're a retailer, it's not enough anymore to just have a shop on the high street. In fact you're probably better off with just an ecommerce website these days anyway. No staff, no overheads, no worries.
But if you're serious about selling online then you might also like to extend your reach into the world of mobile ecommerce.

<description><![CDATA[Breakdown
&nbsp;
Responsive website design is the problem solver when it comes to screen resolution issues. The standard practise for many years has been to always design your ecommerce website to fit the smallest screen resolution (1024 x 768px) as this is or now was the most common resolution used by customers. With technology progressing and screen sizes increasing the average screen size is also increasing. <a href="http://www.advansys.com/blog.asp/a=585/Responsive_Website_Designs">  More...</a></ol>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With many existing ecommerce websites usability of the site can be its major down fall. Here at Advansys we are always researching and developing new ways to improve the navigation of the sites we develop.
For example, when a customer arrives at your ecommerce website they will want to know how and where they need to go to find exactly what they need. Inconsistent fonts, images and colour schemes can be off putting to a customer ending up with them not knowing what to click on first. <a href="http://www.advansys.com/blog.asp/a=583/Easing_the_usability_of_your_ecommerce_website">  More...</a></ol>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you have, or for that matter have ever visited, an ecommerce website, you will know about page navigation. But there is more to it than just knowing that a page should have navigation options.

Where you place your navigation will have an effect on how it is used, and how your ecommerce website it received by the user. The current trend in web design is for the navigation to be a bar along the top, allowing for a easy access to each category button, and leaving a wider page to fill with content. <a href="http://www.advansys.com/blog.asp/a=581/Good_page_navigation_practice">  More...</a></ol>]]></description>
