Brands have a total of eight different Instagram ad formats to choose from, meaning they can choose the style that best aligns with their marketing goals and content.
Unlike a physical store, there’s no real limit as to where your customers can be located with ecommerce. One of the biggest advantages of working with an ecommerce website company like us is the digital marketing experience we bring to the table. This means that beyond ecommerce website designing, we can also help you identify and target your ideal customer personas – wherever in the world they may be.
Every person who visits your website leaves behind information that you can use to improve your service, make adjustments, and boost conversions. Where did they click and why? If they abandoned the site without buying something, at which point did you lose their interest? Wherever patterns emerge, you’re left with actionable steps you can take to improve your store’s performance.
If you already have a website you’ve put a lot of love and work into over the years, you might expect adding ecommerce functionality to be a massive undertaking. This isn’t necessarily the case, as many hosting platforms now offer ecommerce plugins that (with a little knowhow) are pretty straightforward to integrate. Whatever the case, our ecommerce website development team will ensure your hard work and website content don’t go to waste.
As an ecommerce web development firm, helping our customers grow brand loyalty is one of our primary objectives. There’s a lot of digital noise out there, and keeping your brand front of mind can be challenging! That’s why we build forward-thinking features like email collection and PPC remarketing into the ecommerce platforms we develop.
Another important point to remember is that websites can offer significantly more information than a human salesperson, and they’re available all day every day. Making your products available online, along with detailed specs and descriptions, lets buyers access as much or as little info as they want, whenever they want, from the comfort of home.

Ruby Digital offers both custom ecommerce website development and assistance with migrating to or launching your store on a hosted ecommerce platform. Which of these is right for you will depend on several factors, which we’ll discuss with you during the consultation process.
Some of the hosted Ecommerce platforms we work with include:
Custom ecommerce website development services are generally best suited to established businesses with a large product range, but not always! While ecommerce platforms like Wix and SiteBuilder are simple enough for someone who’s never built any kind of website before to use, things get tricky when you need to customize features. Sometimes the changes you need, especially when scaling up, aren’t even possible.
With a bespoke, custom-made ecommerce web design, the entire framework is built around your exact needs. No two businesses are the same, and cookie-cutter website templates will never pack quite the same punch as a tailor-built solution. If you’re really looking for that wow factor, then you’ll need to team up with an expert ecommerce website development agency like us.
That said, if your product range is relatively simple, developing an ecommerce site from scratch doesn’t make sense financially, and can be time consuming. Thankfully, there is a middle ground too – as there are several hosted platforms that offer an extremely high level of customizability.
Ruby Digital’s experience with ecommerce website design in South Africa means we’re able to guide you in the right direction for your brand. This includes a vision on how your current website could be smoothly expanded and scaled up as you grow.
Strategy and Ideation
After discussing your vision, our ecommerce website design and development team start laying out some options for you to choose from. Apart from stylistic features like themes, colours and fonts, we consider how functionality like your payment gateway, email collection, and third-party apps can best be integrated. In addition, our ecommerce web developers work closely with our digital marketing experts to ensure each template answers all the needs of your target market.
Design, Database and User Experience
We look at how we can build in the functionality you need, such as an easy-to-use content management system, while delivering a seamless experience for your customers. Very importantly, we flesh out in detail how your site framework can be extended and scaled up as your business and product range grows.
Payment Gateway and Shopping Cart Integration
Opening your business up to international customers means providing as wide a variety of payment options as possible, while ensuring absolute security. Our ecommerce development company offers flawless payment gateway and card integration, including real-time transactions and authorisation.
API Integration
There are multitudes of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) which may be beneficial to your business and customers. Aside from allowing visitors to log in and search your site more easily, some of these allow for better mobile performance, or enable affiliate marketing functions. Our ecommerce web design company will guide you in which ones are best suited for you and your shoppers.
Search Engine Optimisation
Our extensive SEO experience makes us the best ecommerce development company for any brand looking for an all-in-one design and marketing solution. A huge part of your online store’s success lies in its search engine visibility, which is why we build SEO into every step of the development process.
Testing and Launch
Site glitches and errors aren’t just frustrating for online shoppers, they make them question the safety and security of your platform. That’s why our ecommerce website development services include exhaustive pre-launch testing, so we can get business off to a bang for all the right reasons!
Marketing Strategy
