Sure Horizon

When you create a store on ebay it is automatically assigned the standard template available through the site. Most one-type or casual sellers find that this is more than adequate for their needs. Those who plan to operate their store as a real business or even a regular hobby will want to invest more time and money in creating a customizable store design. There are several companies that provide ebay shop design services and templates for just this purpose.

While many of these are based on a template, they should be fully customizable. The purpose is to create an identifiable brand within the ebay environment. Any design should be capable of supporting not just a store logo, but also to match the colors and overall “look and feel” of an existing business or to create an identity for a new business. Branding is vital to building repeat customers and for fueling customer referrals.

When designing a shop, sellers should focus on the user experience. They need to make it as easy as possible for visitors to find the products they are interested in buying and sellers want to make those products as appealing and attractive as they can. A good shop design will provide detailed product information and the ability to tie related products together for the purpose of cross promotion. Good search and navigation elements are also important.

Sellers need to remember that attention spans on the web are very short — and getting shorter all the time. A good design is going to catch the interest of a browser and make it as easy as possible for them to become a paying customer.
