Unintuitive or cumbersome site navigation

Poor quality images

Web development companies have professional photographers and image editors to create quality images to better consideration over product background and photo editing for an e-commerce website. The feature of image magnifying or image zooming can be more good for the user experience.
The complicated and lengthy checkout process

The checkout page should be as seamless as possible, otherwise a complicated and lengthy process may lead visitors to lose interest to pay. An Ecommerce website should always be sure to provide 3 steps for the product selling process, product selection, add to cart, additional information, and checkout.
Not having a Responsive/ Mobile friendly design
An Ecommerce website must be mobile-friendly. According to Google, about 95% of internet users browse the website through their phones. A website with no responsive design may lose potential customers because 50% of people say that even if they like a company, they will use it less often if the website is not mobile-friendly.
Making it hard to contact support
If a visitor facing trouble on a website, he wants quick customer support for help. If a website does not have an easy option to contact support, the customer will become frustrated and may leave the website. A website should have a support system that must be in line with website design and easy to find. Several Ecommerce websites use live chat options and chatbots to become more efficient.
