To develop your e-commerce website, you have to think, among other things, of the layout of your content, the navigation path between your pages, a secure payment system, a design representative of your brand, a communication policy, etc.

The development of your e-commerce site will be done in several key stages:

1. STRATEGIC THINKING
   The first step is a strategic thinking stage aimed at defining your business objectives in order to define your digital KPIs. We will determine the optimal navigation tunnel that will convert your prospects into customers. This tunnel will allow us to follow each step of the funnel process to the end result and study user behavior to improve the conversion rate on your future site.
2. SIGNATURE OF THE SPECIFICATIONS
   Together we will work to establish and validate the specifications. The functional specification document will contain all the information about your project as well as a summary of all the tasks that Eminence will be required to perform to successfully develop your website. It will allow us to oversee the entire development process of your e-commerce site. This document will be shared with all project stakeholders to ensure that it is respected.
3. CREATION OF WIREFRAMES & ARCHITECTURE
   This step consists of creating a wireframe for each important page of the site (Home page, product page, contact page, etc.) so that you can see how the content will be organized. Our aim is to provide an intuitive user experience in order to attract and convert Internet users.
4. CONTENT PREPARATION & VALIDATION
   Once the wireframes have been validated, you will need to provide us with the site content. We can offer advice on how to write the pages so that they are consistent with your market and positioning.
5. CREATION OF MODELS
   We will then create models so that you can visualize the design of your future site. This will reflect your image and your positioning. It will allow your Internet users to recognize and remember your brand thanks to its graphic style.
6. INTEGRATION, DEVELOPMENT & SELECTION OF APIS
   This step consists in developing and deploying your e-commerce site on the internet. Prepared content, as well as graphic elements, will be integrated into the CMS to deliver a functional and operational site that respects all the choices made since the start of the project. To do so, we use APIs (Application Programming Interface) which are an efficient way to communicate between two applications. They create a common language enabling different applications, which are not programmed in the same language and are not located in the same place, to dialogue and exchange data. As there are several kinds, you will have to make a selection: mass emailing, mapping, sending SMS, storage, video, AdWords API (automatic campaigns from products), or affiliation APIs.
7. REFERENCING & TRACKING
   Our SEO specialists will make sure that your e-commerce site meets natural referencing standards and criteria so that your site is visible and attractive on the web. We will implement an optimal tracking plan to allow you to measure and monitor your site’s performance. We want to help you to reach your business objectives and to do so, the digital KPIs set should be monitored and reported on a personalized dashboard.
8. BACK OFFICE & MAINTENANCE TRAINING
   We will provide you with a turnkey user guide for your website so that you can modify the back office independently. We will also provide you with a maintenance and security plan to keep your site secure, up-to-date, and functional.
