E-Commerce Websites: Don't be Afraid to Upgrade!

When you're working in the fast-paced world of e-commerce, you have to be able to juggle many different demands every day as you try to keep everything running smoothly. If your e-commerce website seems to be working alright then it's tempting to stick with the status quo, letting updates and upgrades sit on the back burner. But is 'alright' enough? It certainly isn't for today's highly-discerning online consumer who, with a vast array of competitor websites to choose from, will always prefer the one that is more up-to-date. 

Part of the reason for this is that an e-commerce website is, far from being simply a catalogue of your product range, a representation and reflection of your business as a whole. If the website never changes, potential customers will feel that your company is not dynamic and modern. Technology changes fast and so do customer expectations of being able to use those technologies; not implementing them makes it look as if you don't really care about your customers' experiences. If there is no news in your blog, how is a customer supposed to know that anything is happening in your business or if it is even still trading? 

Another issue with outdated websites is security, of which more and more online consumers are expressing deep concerns about. The intelligence and tenacity of hackers and scammers is, though misplaced and misused, certainly not to be underestimated. New ways of stealing data are invented and implemented every single day and so website security must be as up to date as everything else. Securing your website and thus the data of your customers is of paramount importance; any visitor who does not feel entirely safe on your e-commerce website will not stay for long, let alone make a purchase.
