Product descriptions are a very important part of running a successful e-commerce website. This content is important, not only for the organic rankings of your brand and specific products but also for actually getting conversions and people to buy through your site. Your product pages are a true reflection of your brand image and it's worth putting in the extra time to get these pages to where they need to be. Start improving your product pages by focusing on the images/videos used, user experience and, of course, the information provided in the product descriptions.

Starting a new web project and unsure where to start? Needing a little guidance on what you should be looking for since there is a lot to review? Does the project almost feel a little overwhelming? Here are 11 important questions to ask yourself and your team before you begin the process. 

Given that one of our primary industries of focus is healthcare, we are always excited for the opportunity to design and build a new medical website. Rarely, though, do we get to work with organization the size and caliber of Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates (CNSA) - the nation's largest neurosurgery & spine specialty group. Our most recent launch is a completely revamped web experience for CNSA, leveraging a heavily customized version of the healthcare package of our Echo website platform.

Digital design as a whole has changed drastically over the last few years. In the last decade we've seen the emergence of responsive design which has changed the industry completely. Now in 2019 designers and developers are challenged with keeping each site unique and fresh while adhering to what works best for the web and each device or screen size.

E-dreamz's latest eCommerce website project is a multi-store set-up for Qualitrol International - two similar, but distinct, high-end eCommerce websites running on the same multi-site administration platform powered by our Echo by E-dreamz website CMS. Qualitrol is a GE certified dealer that provides parts and repair services for PLC systems. E-dreamz is proud of our results with this challenging eCommerce project.

It may seem that eCommerce has become the norm in today’s society, but there is still a long way to go before online shopping overtakes brick-and-mortar. It may surprise you, as it still surprises me, that eCommerce sales as a percent of global retail sales currently stands at 13%. While that percentage is quite low, it’s also important to remember how online shopping influences our in-store purchase behavior. Multi-channel buying is a common theme today as most consumers will utilize a variety of online and offline resources prior to making a purchase.

At E-dreamz, we're always excited to work with new partners in the automotive industry. Being headquartered in the heart of NASCAR country here in Charlotte, NC, we've enjoyed the opportunity to build high-performing automotive websites for many local and regional aftermarket auto parts companies over the years. Our latest site launch is for StreetKing, a full-service provider of custom wheel and tire packages with multiple retail locations throughout the southern US.

E-dreamz recently launched two websites for DATASCOPE WMS - both a refresh of their corporate site and an all-new eCommerce site. DATASCOPE is an international company specializing in warehouse management software and solutions. They recently invested in a US-based headquarters here in Charlotte to spearhead plans for growth in the US market. E-dreamz is proud to have been selected as their stateside digital partner.

How often should you redesign your website? Most experts in the field would agree that about 2-3 years is the maximum lifespan of a website at most. However, what matters more than how often you are updating your website are the changes you are making and what goals want to be met based on the changes. If your site is not performing well or generating leads then it’s time to look into starting the redesign process.

As mobile and tablet use continues to increase, website users are expecting app-like elements on their desktops. At E-dreamz, our developers are always looking for ways to move in this direction. In this article we highlight our client, Carolina Fitness Equipment and focus on the development of a drag-and-drop idea board we created for them.

One of the largest discrepancies designers and developers have when updating their websites is image size. Since we build our websites around responsive design, this makes image dimensions and pixels incredibly important. In this article, we will discuss the top key items to keep in mind when you're choosing images for your website.
