Business & eCommerce Web Design
Gillico produces custom websites tailored to your business needs. Over the last 13 years we have designed, developed, deployed and maintained dozens of WordPress sites for a variety of satisfied customers.
Your website is your connection to your customers
According to retaildive.com:
- The vast majority (87%) of shoppers begin product searches on digital channels
- 46% of shoppers prefer to buy in a physical location, while 35% prefer buying via laptops and 18% prefer buying via mobile phones
- 71% of shoppers saying they use mobile devices in stores
Your website needs to be responsive to all devices
With the ubiquity of cellular phones, tablets, and computers, you are missing out if your website isn’t attracting and supporting your customers. An updated, current, responsive website will help provide users with the best possible experience, providing them with valuable decision-making information before and after purchase. Your website allows you valuable insights into your customers and makes new conversations and conversions possible.
Curb appeal matters
Your website is your proxy on the internet. If the design and content are stale, potential customers will be left wanting. A modern, easy-to-read and navigate website gives your customers a positive impression and make it easier for users to find the information they need. The fewer clicks it takes to make a purchase, the more sales your site will make.
