Oakland County Technologies has the ability to develop your online store in a manner that attracts shoppers, not turn them away. Our simple, easy navigation and search implementation allows your visitors to shop the way they want to...In and Out!

Through years of analytics in the e-commerce field, Oakland County Technologies has determined that online shoppers do not wish to fill out form after form when they are checking out. As some of the open source shopping cart software does. It may seem fine to have the shoppers information easily accessible to send them a birthday card by e-mail, but do you really think the person shopping on your website wants to hear from you on their birthday?

One of the many challenges for online merchants is providing a shopping experience similar to the real world. Thankfully, there are some design-centric technologies that can dramatically aid the transition.

Virtual Catalogs are a great way to bridge the gap and get users to interact on a deeper level with product lines. The use of multi-media in product presentation is also an exceptional way to simultaniously showcase current products and convey brand value to consumers. The objective for a successful online store should be to give the consumer the ability to feel like they are viewing the product, not a computer monitor with a photo of a product on it. Get the drift?

Your e-commerce website has to perform seamlessly or visitors will more than likely not return. In late 2008, Aberdeen released its Performance of Web Applications study. This study showed that business performance begins to suffer at 5.1 seconds of delay in response time of web-based applications. Mixing user experience and website performance is what Oakland County Technologies is all about.

Total e-commerce sales for 2008 were estimated at $133.6 billion. This is an increase of 4.6% from 2007. However, total retail sales decreased 0.6% in 2008 from 2007. These are encouraging figures if you are investigating selling products online!
