E-commerce is gaining momentum. Now, it is hard to imagine that we will not be able to buy any product on the Internet. Taking into account the competition and the needs of society, businesses are starting to massively create not only offline points of sale, but also online stores. Buying a ready-made website in order to develop your Internet presence is to take a step forward and develop at a new speed. Ready-made sites that only need to be filled with your products and photos are much cheaper and speed up the process of creating an online store. Ordering a site from a web studio means spending a little more time on all stages of development, but getting exactly the result you expect. Both options are great choices in their own way. The web studio SELECTOR SPACE has been developing websites for small, medium and large businesses for more than 5 years. We understand the needs of customers, and therefore we find an individual solution for everyone. It is important for you to get a cool site, for us, it is important to make it exactly the way you want. You can order an online store from SELECTOR.SPACE on our website, or by calling the numbers listed on the main page.
What is an online store and its functions
An online store is a ready-made site designed for the sale of goods on the Internet. A virtual outlet has a number of advantages and sells your goods around the clock. An additional and one of the main features of such a site is that you can sell the product to anyone. Online stores are also distinguished by the fact that everyone can enter their data directly on the site for delivery and immediately pay for the product. Payment for the product can be made in any convenient way for the client – Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, etc. Ordering a delivery on the website is simply a must-have. After all, the client will be able to choose the region, district, settlement and convenient delivery method for him. It can be NOVA, MEEST, UKRPOSHTA or delivery by courier. It is very convenient and in demand among consumers.
What components does the site consist of?
Each of the types of sites that are on the Internet has its own clear structure. Having this structure facilitates the process of finding the necessary goods for potential customers. Website development includes the most important stages of site creation, including:
- Design and Responsive Design. We already wrote about the importance of adaptive design earlier in the article “Adaptive site design“. This process takes approximately 14 days.
- Website layout – the process of writing code and creating website pages according to the developed design.
- Hosting (place where all site data is stored) and domain (a unique name by which you can be found) is the next stage of development. Without these two components, you will not be able to open your site to people. SELECTOR SPACE helps with this issue comprehensively. We offer only the best options at reasonable prices.
- Internal site optimization – includes creating a semantic core, defining keywords (queries for Google) and writing unique texts (we write it ourselves, without ChatGPT and other AI).
- SEO or external promotion is an important element of website promotion. With a complex approach and fruitful work, in just a few months your site will be in the TOP and bring you a stable flow of customers and financial income.
Remember that the site is the key to success and development. Modern realities dictate their own rules, and the longer you delay the creation of your own online store, the faster your competitors will win over YOUR customers.
What does an online store consist of?
Requirements for online stores are dictated by our society. Everyone wants it to be simple, clear and convenient. Therefore, each virtual store should consist of the following elements:
- The main page of the site displays key, main information about the store and the company. The main page usually includes contact information, a text box about the company, certificates or awards, and information about partners.
- Product catalog – consists of product cards in which key information is indicated: photo, description, price, dimensions, technical characteristics. It all depends on the goods you sell.
- The shopping cart and product checkout page should be convenient and free of unnecessary information.
- Pages with information about the store are mandatory elements of the site. After all, they indicate the necessary information for the buyer about the store itself, about delivery and payment, about the terms of return, etc.
- A blog page or a news section helps not only to effectively promote the site in Google, but also to dilute the flow of goods with interesting and unique content.
- The buyer’s personal account – simplifies the ordering process and ensures that the necessary information is saved for subsequent orders.
It is also important to understand that such sites should have simple navigation. It should be clear to the client where to click to order and where to pay. If you decide to order a site, you should carefully approach the choice of a web studio or a company that will deal with the issue of development. Our web studio works with quality and results.

The advantages of an online store among other types of sites
Absolutely every type of site that is on the Internet fulfills its main mission – to bring customers to business. It doesn’t matter if it’s a business card site, or a landing page, or a catalog – their purpose is to inform people that your company exists and that it provides certain services or sells different categories of goods. You have noticed the fact that all self-respecting companies and government institutions have had websites for a long time. They are actively covering their activities online. The online store allows you to sell goods without restrictions.
The advantages of the online store include:
- The ability to sell many products and expand the assortment. Compared to a physical offline store, where the space for the product may run out, the site does not face such problems.
- Geography – the whole world. Yes, yes, this is another key advantage, because a person does not need to go anywhere to buy a product from you. I went online, chose the necessary goods and went shopping.
- Saving time for the purchase – for the client it is simply important. We live in a time when there are not enough 24 hours in a day. Because there is so much to do, so shopping in online stores significantly saves customers’ time and draws their attention to your business.
- Saving money – often in marketplaces and online stores, various promotions are held, about which the client can be informed thanks to a mailing to the mail or to a personal account. In order to automate the mailing process, we recommend thinking about a CRM system. By the way, SELECTOR SPACE successfully implements CRM, Retail, Project and ERP systems to automate business processes. You can learn more about CRM on our website or by contacting us personally. Phone numbers and email addresses are listed on the website.
What to choose: buy a ready-made site or order a site?
Each business has its own needs, and therefore it is difficult to say clearly which of the options will be better. Each of the options will be correct and will have its advantages and disadvantages. Let’s look at it in detail below.
Buy a ready-made online store website
Buying a ready-made website is always a good idea. The advantages of this option for the development of online sales will be saving time and resources. For example, a web studio offers to buy a site that is already available. This does not mean that you will get someone else’s site, and you will duplicate a competitor on the network. Sites for sale are universal, that is, there is no binding to colors or fonts, all this can be changed. When buying a ready-made version of the site, you will need to fill it with your unique content. When selling websites, our web studio provides all the necessary instructions with screenshots. So you will be able to fill them easily. As a result, you will spend less time and be able to start selling right away. The disadvantage of such a purchase will be that it is not a site as made according to your wishes or individual design.
Order a site
Another option for creating your own online store is to order a site from real professionals. This option has many advantages. First, the site will be developed according to your individual preferences and needs. Together with the designer and developer, you will be able to discuss all aspects and the number of required pages. The logo, color scheme and all the blocks will be on the site exactly as you want. When ordering a site, you should know that each stage of site creation will take a certain amount of time. Because people will work on it, not a robot. As a result, you will get a cool site that SELECTOR SPACE will bring to the TOP of Google in just 6 months. Agree, it’s a good option that has only one small drawback – it takes time.
Conclusions
So, after analyzing the demand for the development of websites, and especially online stores, we can come to the conclusion. The relevance of online sales is growing every day. It is convenient and comfortable. Considering all the advantages of online sales, those who do not have a website, or have not planned to develop one in the near future, need to start acting. The advantages of online stores for both companies and customers are becoming more and more obvious. And in the conditions of a full-scale invasion and air strikes, online stores have ceased to be an alternative, turning into the only available option for buyers.
