Why your ecommerce business needs an SSL (Secure Socket Layer)

SSL encrypts data personally identifiable information like credit cards numbers and prevents the maliciously inclined from stealing personal information. An SSL protected page has an address begins with “https” and usually has a padlock icon (or similar icon) at the bottom of the page or in the address bar of your web browser.

Your browser encrypts the data and sends to the receiving website. A browser by itself cannot secure the entire transaction and that’s why it’s imperative for ecommerce website developers to do their part in educating their clients about SSL’s.

How do SSL Certificates work?

The SSL certificate sits on a secure server to encrypt data and identify the website. The SSL certificate contains information about the certificate holder which helps verify the website belongs to whom it says it belongs to. It also authenticates the domain the certificate was issued to, the name of the Certificate Authority who issued the certificate, the root, and the country where the certificate was issued in.

Standards of Quality and How They Benefit You

ZinZang Studio sets itself apart from other web developers by keeping up-to-date with the latest web standards as provided by the World Wide Web Consortium (w3.org).  The World Wide Web Consortium is comprised of leading experts who have developed and tested web development technologies and is the best resource for issues of compliance and web standards for the web community. Adherence to these standards assures that each website we design is a stronger, more responsive, and sustainable final product.

How does this benefit you?

Accessibility to those with disabilities

Standards compliant sites are accessible to people with disabilities, such as those who use screen readers or braille bars.

Search Engine response

Search engines (like Google) follow standards. Since your site complies with standards, it will be more visible in online searches than your competitors, who probably don’t follow these standards.

Complete Customer Service

Long gone are the days when complete and consistent customer services only included staying in touch with clients via phone, mail and in person. These days even small businesses benefit from adding email campaigns, E-newsletters, blogs, instant chat features and other self-service web-based applications. Your web site is a 24/7/365 storefront that should work for you and your customers, even if you are off the clock.

3 Important Tips for Seamless & Consistent Customer Service

1. Design matters

A good design should be both aesthetically pleasing and fully functional.  All websites created and developed by ZinZang Studio are produced with both criteria in mind and are fully compliant with web standards. Adding features to your website enhances customer usability, reduces strain on your staff, and results in a well-rounded service experience.

2. Frontline staff

Your frontline staff is an invaluable resource for identifying the needs of your clients, customers, and patrons. Utilize this resource by having them think about and answer – “what questions are constantly being asked?”, “what do clients, customers, and patrons complain about?”, “do clients, customers, and patrons ask to get particular services in an alternate way?”.  Finding the answers to these questions and coming up with an innovative solutions can greatly increase your all-around customer service.  You may want to consider adding a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page to your website to answer those questions when you aren’t in the office.

3. Listening

Consider your customer experience as a work in progress by welcoming client, customer, and patron feedback.  You may want to consider providing a customer satisfaction survey as a hard-copy in your lobby, and an interactive PDF online.  This will assist you in determining where you should focus your attention for customer service improvement.
