Dangers of Fill-In-The-Blank E-Commerce Strategies Considered in a New Polar Design Case Study
In a recent Case Study Polar Design takes a look at the results yielded by template web sites versus a custom solution.
- Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) April 01, 2011 - The templated, or out-of-the-box, website is the mad lib of e-commerce web design: just insert logo, photos, and text, and you've got a fully functional web site for a few thousand dollars. Sounds great doesn't it?
Polar Design (http://www.PolarDesign.com) is an experienced e-commerce design and marketing agency that has untangled a number of puzzling e-commerce situations. As documented in its recent case study, e-commerce strategies that depend on out of the box answers may be attractive in cost but are unlikely to provide results. The case study contrasts the experience and ROI of Marble & Granite Care Products, Inc. e-commerce site before and after a custom redesign.
Prior to the redesign, Marble & Granite Care Products saw its sales stagnate after an earlier upgrade to an e-commerce site built on a well-known but limiting e-commerce platform. As a result, the company asked Polar Design to assess the causes behind the site's flagging performance, propose and implement a solution.
When sales increased 30% immediately after re-launching the website, the client and Polar Design took notice. Sales continued to improve as key metrics such as bounce rate and conversion improved.

And remember to enjoy mad libs for what they are - entertainment, but not a realistic strategy for e-commerce success.
