E-Commerce Design and Development
Enjoy a comprehensive solution built for your needs
When launching a new e-commerce website, time-to-market is always an important consideration. We want to help you launch your e-commerce business as quickly as possible, so we’ve built a comprehensive service offering that supports you as you tackle the four main issues you need to resolve before you can launch:
- Strategy
- Design
- Content
- Technology
Over the past 10 years we’ve worked with clients to deliver thriving ecommerce websites and applications, and we’ll support you every step of the way towards the successful launch of yours!
Creating Your E-commerce Strategy
Identifying the best way to sell your organization’s products, delivering a great experience to your customers, and perfecting back-off-house operations, are all crucial steps in guaranteeing your e-commerce site is ultimately successful. We’ll help you review these issues, and others, and provide you with valuable insights on how to best address them to meet the concerns of all involved parties. Typical questions to reflect on are:
- What products to have on offer.
- What sales volume to expect.
- How to handle stock, payments, delivery, returns, and other operational issues.
- How to market the website once it’s up and running.
Designing Your E-Commerce website for Sales
The design of your e-commerce website determines the first impression people will have, not only of your shop, but of your organization as a whole. Moreover, the degree to which your website is “user friendly” directly impacts your sales figures – The easier it is to buy from your website, the more you’ll sell!
We’ll invest as much time as is needed to ensure the design of your e-commerce shop is easy-to-use, visually appealing, and faithful to your branding.
Crafting Content for Commerce
Providing your audience with timely, relevant, and well produced content is the most important element in building your long term e-commerce success. We’ll help you ensure the product information you’re providing on your site is sufficient, useful, and easy to understand.
Ensuring your information is relevant, useful and up-to-date helps your stakeholders feel fully informed, and comfortable with purchaing from your shop. Sharing high quality content about your products and industry is crucial in order to establish yourself as a credible and authoritative brand.
E-Commerce Development for Scale and Success
Making sure the framework behind your new e-commerce shop will also last you a few years down the road is of tantamount importance. After all, you want it to remain relevant and effective for at least a few years. We know that running an e-commerce business is hard enough, so we’ll always recommend tech choices that make things as easy as possible. We’ll always advocate for solutions that are reliable, affordable and secure, and can easily support your likely future growth opportunities.
What’s Included in Your Package?
If you’re launching your first e-commerce shop we recommend focusing your efforts on products, customer service, operations, and marketing. The faster you roll out your website, the faster you’ll gain important insights that add value to your bottom line.

How does it work?
Our process follows these principles:
Behavioral design
People love platforms that account for how they feel & think. These are the insights behavioral design provides.
User testing
The compass ensuring a platform’s utility
& appeal is the study of the people using it. The sooner this study is launched, the higher the returns it delivers.
Return on investment
A platform’s success is measured in relation to quantifiable goals. Failure can be useful, when we learn from it.
A project is only ever as good as the brief
One of the most important steps on your path to a new website is your project brief.
A good brief will help you avoid wasted $$$ and missed deadlines.
We know sometimes getting your thoughts in order is hard, so we’re happy to share with you the brief template our team uses, to help you get started.
Remember – The more detailed your answers on the brief questions, the easier things will be for you later on…
Project Milestones
With a brief firmly in place, the next most determinant factor in your ecommerce website’s success is the delivery process. Over the +10 years we’ve been in operation we’ve developed a successful website delivery workflow, which we will follow for your project – These are your milestones along the way:
1
E-commerce briefing
2
E-commerce design
3
E-commerce content
4
E-commerce development and quality assurance
5
E-commerce Delivery and Launch
6
E-commerce warranty and maintenance
1
E-commerce briefing
Your e-commerce website design and development starts with a couple of introductory consultations. During these meetings we’ll listen to your briefing and understand your expected goals, scope, and timeline. The purpose of this phase of the project is to allow us to come up with a plan and proposal for the delivery of your e-commerce site, so you can best evaluate working with us.
2
E-commerce design
Once your requirements are clarified and the briefing phase is completed, we’ll prepare a detailed project plan that includes wireframe layouts outlining the content and function of each of your website’s pages. Once these wireframes are approved our designers will propose the user interface for your e-commerce shop based on your brief and corporate identity guidelines.
3
E-commerce content
We’ll work with you to get your content ready for use on your e-commerce website. You can opt to prepare the texts, pictures, and other content you need, in-house, or let us handle this effort for you. Either way we’ll support you in getting all your materials ready for our developers to start coding up your site.
4
E-commerce development and quality assurance
Our development team can begin working on your e-commerce site as soon as you sign-off on your design, and launch-day content. Once the developers’ work nears completion, we’ll begin quality assurance tests to ensure the website matches the agreed brief, design and content. As soon as our in-house QA team is satisfied with the work, we’ll invite you to start reviewing the deliverables as well.
5
E-commerce Delivery and Launch
Once you confirm your e-commerce website is exactly the way you want it, and meets the design and scope-of-work agreed for the project, we will launch it for you. You can opt to host with any existing provider you work with, or ask us about using our own hosting services. Your team will receive training regarding how to operate your new e-commerce website’s systems.
Congratulations! You’re now up and running with your new e-commerce business!
6
E-commerce warranty and maintenance
We provide, as a standard, a 6 month extendable warranty for bug-fixes for your e-commerce website. Any issues that somehow slipped through our quality assurance and user acceptance testing will be fixed free of charge.
We offer retainer based hosting and support packages for ongoing development and maintenance of your website. These packages guarantee your website, and the software infrastructure it relies on, are regularly updated with the latest security patches and upgrades. You can also utilize these offers to have us update your website’s content or develop new features for you.

We chose Vimi to create our global website. They’ve proven a reliable & valued partner that delivers on time & on spec. Vimi go the extra mile looking for ways to support our business, so naturally we’re happy to recommend them as a service provider
Jeff Bates

Who will you be working with?
Your Application Delivery Team
Your app team will be chaired by one of our senior project managers. Your delivery team will report to our managing directors on your project’s progress at least once a week. These processes help us keep delivery smooth and service levels consistent. Your e-commerce website production team is composed of:
Project manager
Your Project Manager is your point of contact for all matters relating to your e-commerce project. They’re accountable for the delivery of your project according to spec and on schedule. They will arrange no less than one weekly meeting with your team to get your needed feedback, and provide you with progress updates.
E-commerce Information Architects
Planning your e-commerce sitemap so that future clients can find the products and information they’re looking for easily and quickly, is the primary role of the information architect. Since these decisions have a massive influence on the success of your site, this task is usually delegated to one of our senior project managers, or a managing partner.
E-commerce UX / UI Designers
The design of your e-commerce website dictates its success in the most direct way possible. Our design team has extensive experience in designing e-commerce pages that drive sales, and shopping carts that reduce abandonment rates. We’ll make sure your site is easy to use, complies with best-practice for web-design, and promotes customers’ perception of your company’s reputation as being credible and professional, all while maintaining your company’s brand guidelines.
Copywriter
Should you hire us to deliver your e-commerce website’s content, we’ll add a copywriter to your delivery team. You can rely on us to write your product descriptions, support materials, and any other content you wish to publish on your website.
If you’d like to hasten the delivery of your project, and don’t have a full-time copywriter as part of your organization, it is usually best to assign content production to our team. Typically projects that are run this way tend to be completed much faster.
E-commerce Developers
Our development teams are highly proficient at building ecommerce websites and apps. Whether you’re looking to build a platform from scratch, using custom code from the ground up, or hoping to roll out a quick pilot to test the waters, we’ve got you covered. You can count on our experience and process to ensure your e-commerce website is launched on time and on budget.
Our global clientele expect us to operate at the peak of efficiency & discretion, & we expect the same from our providers. Vimi delivered our brand design & website, & remain our preferred provider because we know we can rely on them to be there whenever we need them

Managing Partner, Jrotbart & Co.
