Much as we all like to be different, there are some rules that we simply must follow; this fact remains true in our daily lives and even in website design. There are certain rules that cannot be flouted when you are designing a website. The flouting of these designated norms will end up resulting in a web design that just doesn’t work for the website’s visitors.
Even in the case of ecommerce website design, there are certain things that you can do, and there are certain things that you must stay away from. Call them rules or elements of good design, there is no doubt that making them a part of your ecommerce website will make the design work.
Simple and Relevant Design
Over-the-top design just doesn’t cut any ice with online shoppers. They are not coming to your site, in order to admire its design. They have a certain purpose to accomplish and that purpose is – online shopping. All they want to do is shop for certain products and services on your ecommerce site. So, your design needs to be able to give the website’s message clearly and with the necessary impact. This is only possible with a simple and relevant design that doesn’t take the attention away from the core purpose of your site.
Effective Shopping Cart Design
Some prospective ecommerce shopping cart owners are of the opinion that it’s only an advanced shopping cart with numerous features and a stylistic design that is appreciated by shoppers. But, this isn’t true. All that an online shopper wants is the kind of shopping cart design that ensures a quick and fulfilling shopping experience. He/she wants a shopping cart that gives pertinent information about products and services on the site, and helps them purchase the chosen products and services quickly and securely. Nothing more and definitely nothing less!
Revolves around your Business Strategy
An effective ecommerce website design has to revolve around your business strategy. If you have certain quantifiable goals and objectives in mind, it’s of paramount importance that the design is aligned with them. If this isn’t the case, there is a good chance that your website’s design won’t be able to achieve the goals that you want to set for it.
These are just a few rules that will help you ensure that the design of ecommerce sites confirms to your own expectations from your site. At the end of the day, the design of the website must be able to help you generate revenue. If its helps you do that, it is the perfect design for your site.

Etiquette is a code of behaviour that delineates expectations for social behaviour according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class or group. When a person gets into employment for the first time, he or she gets confused with the corporate culture and finds it difficult to learn the corporate etiquette which is also known as business etiquette. It is a natural thing but it takes certain time to get adjusted and adapted to the corporate culture and learn the etiquette. All Nigerian Companies have their various types of etiquette which one must duly follow for the success and growth of these companies.
Etiquettes are of different types but there are a few basic ones which run through all companies including Lagos Companies. Some of these basic ones include Interview etiquette, Office etiquette, Telephone Etiquette and Dress code.
Interview Etiquette
The door to an office is to be knocked and after seeking permission, a person should enter when going for an interview. The next appropriate thing to when you enter is to greet the interview panel members and wait till you are given permission to be seated. Abuja companies follow these strict basic rules of etiquette and as such expect most interviewees to know before approaching them. The person sits with a straight posture at the back with his or her back touching the chair without dragging the chair or the feet.
Office Etiquette
It is advisable not to roam around an office when you are new to it. You also do not disturb the receptionist with too many queries. When you are given a cubicle to work in, stick to it and do not encroach into others cubicles. This is very important among Lagos Companies who already have a lot of people working in a company so there is little or no space to work. It is advisable if you stick solely to your cubicles so you do not disturb others.
Telephone Etiquette
This is more or less like a mobile etiquette even though all companies have direct telephone line especially all Nigerian Companies which makes business easier for both the company and their customers. It is good to ensure that your voice mail system is working properly and is not full of messages to prevent incoming calls. Most at times, the caller has to identify him or herself first and then you should confirm whether he or she is looking for the concerned person before starting any conversation.
Dress Code
Dress code for men is not as complicated as women. There is a traditional formula for male attire. BBTTSS is the acronym for Boot and Belt must be of the same colour, Tie and Trouser should match with each other and Shirt and Socks should also match. It is not a compulsory formula but the most important thing is that the dress code should be pleasing, neat, clean and presentable. As for women, it differs from country to country. With Abuja Companies, the clothes of women must be positive and presentable and not of tight fittings, no obscene or revealing clothes.
