E-commerce website design is a commercial discipline
An e-commerce website designer is solving a different problem from someone designing a brochure site. Every layout decision has a measurable consequence: how quickly a visitor understands what you sell, whether they trust you enough to enter card details, whether they can find the product they came for, and whether the checkout feels safe.
So the design process starts with your customers and your catalogue. How do people in your category shop — by browsing, by searching, by comparison? How much information do they need before committing? What objections kill the sale? The answers determine the navigation, the collection layout, the product page structure, and the cart experience.
