Furniture Retail Website Development Agency

Furniture retail has transformed both ecommerce and logistics as more and more people shop online for even the largest items of furniture like sofas and beds.

The UK furniture ecommerce market is the world’s fifth-largest and in 2019 Statista valued it at $7.8 billion (£6.4 billion).

Worldwide, the market was worth nearly $200 billion in 2019 and Statista’s Digital Market Outlook predicted growth of 10% annually to reach nearly $290 billion by 2023.

Clearly, the online retail market for furniture is a huge opportunity, but it’s a competitive niche. The key to success in e-commerce furniture sales is a multi-channel digital marketing approach with a high quality website at the heart of your online presence.

As a furniture retailer, you are in the business of selling designs with form and function.

Form and function are the key ingredients of a successful online furniture store too.

Alongside the general e-commerce website design conventions of easy navigation, stunning visuals, clear calls-to-action and links to customer support channels, it is vital that your furniture retail website appeals to the target audience aligned with your brand.

The best furniture retail websites showcase the products in a way that builds trust with the customer so that they feel confident in making a big ticket purchase over the Internet.

Before we even start to design your new furniture store ecommerce site, we make sure we have all the data we need about the current market, your unique position within it and how people are shopping for furniture online at the moment.

Good furniture retail website design layers aesthetics over functionality so that the finished website looks great and works great too.

Our UI Designers are as meticulous in the details as a good interior designer.

By designing for industry leading ecommerce platforms and content management systems, we produce a website that’s cross-browser and cross-device compatible, and easy for you to update with new products, prices and promotions.

We start with a mock-up of your new homepage as it will appear on desktop computers (including laptops) so we can get your feedback about the visual appearance, colours, branding and so on.

Once everything is agreed, we can start to build more pages and more functionality, while implementing responsive website design so everything looks great at lower resolutions on mobile devices.

Mobile ecommerce design is challenging – mobile devices have widely varying screen resolutions, aspect ratios and may be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.

By keeping all of this in mind, along with the basic functionality and ease of navigation on your new website, we give you a site that will work well across the full range of mobile devices.

Mobile apps offer great opportunities for furniture retailers to add value and increase order sizes.

From apps that offer easy browsing of your complete catalogue, to augmented reality (AR) apps that help the customer to visualise a piece of furniture in their own home, there are endless possibilities.

At VisionSharp we specialise in designing mobile apps from the ground up to create creative and unique products, with intuitive user interfaces and rewarding user experience.

This firm focus on UI and UX puts the customer first in your furniture ecommerce app design, maximising conversion rates and revenues.
