Website Shopping Carts Offer Convenience and Increase Sales

OMA Comp Builds Professional Online Shopping Carts

If you sell online, one of the biggest resources you cannot underestimate is the power of a shopping cart. For the average consumer, a cart is not only a convenience but a necessity because our lives are typically busy and filled with daily distractions. What’s in it for you? When a shopping cart is used effectively, sales can skyrocket. Keep reading to learn why you need a shopping cart and how to use it to your advantage.

  • Stores Customers Product Information The added convenience of having all potential purchases in one place is a huge plus for online shoppers. After a customer adds an item to their cart, even if they’re distracted or forget what they wanted, then all they do is check their cart and poof! The items are there and ready to be bought.
  • Encourages More Purchases When a customer adds products to their cart, they don’t have to worry about making the transaction quickly. This puts customers at ease and helps them relax. When a customer doesn’t feel rushed to buy something, they’re more likely to check out different items from the store. This means increased sales for your business.
  • Abandoned Carts Now you might think abandoned carts are a bad thing but what’s even worse is a store without a cart to be abandoned. Why exactly? Well, it’s simple! When a customer doesn’t make a purchase and abandons their cart, the store can be notified. What smart store owners do is encourage those that abandoned their cart to return. They do this by sending out email notifications to those individuals reminding them that they forgot to complete their purchase. This alone can turn a failing store into a profitable one.

Americans with Disabilities Act Recommendations for Updating Your Website

OMA Comp American with Disabilities Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act was introduced in 1990 as a civil rights law to prohibit discrimination of citizens with disabilities. The evolution of this act now extends to the internet and for a good reason; accommodating your website for people with disabilities makes it easier to access and understand. Here are a few recommendations we have for updating your website around this idea.

What Is Web Accessibility?

Similar to how a wheelchair-bound individual finds it challenging to enter a building with stairs as the only means of entrance, websites can be difficult to interpret without specific components. Web accessibility is the general readability and interpretation quality for users with audible and visual impairments to be able to understand the information of the website. Government, Business, and Non-Profit organizations are all required by the ADA to maintain strict compliance across platforms, so what does this mean for your website?

Recommendations

Provide a text equivalent to important images and graphics. Screen readers can convey meaning without being obtrusive to the overall web experience. Documents should be made available in formats other than PDF. Although they look great, screen readers have a hard time deciphering PDF content; when uploading these documents – pair them with a plain-text version.

Check the font style and text color for readability. Low contrast against plain color and image backgrounds makes reading challenging and is unsightly in general. For multimedia, ensure captions and audio descriptions are made available for people with hearing problems. Descriptive audio also accommodates for users with low vision.

Use Descriptive HTML tags so online forms can be accurately used. This simple behind the scenes work makes a huge difference for people with disabilities. Keep in mind this is not a comprehensive list, rather these are common items we have observed that can be easily updated.

Why Should I Update

ADA compliance should be taken seriously. Once it is mandated, your website will need to be made compliant. ADA compliance for websites is beginning for banks and other financial institutions and then will be moving to medical and other businesses. Contact OMA Comp to learn more.
