Checklist: Development of an online store from ideas to website launch
Creating an online store is an idea that comes to mind perhaps to every entrepreneur, regardless of his experience and the number of businesses he owns. Modern realities dictate their business conditions and at the moment they are such that in order to be profitable, the business must be on the Internet.
The idea to start developing an online store has not been new for a long time. Most companies engaged in the sale or production of products have long had their own Internet resources, with which, by the way, you will need to compete. Moreover, the niche of online commerce against the background of the pandemic received a good incentive for growth, because between 2020 and 2021 it was the only opportunity to survive in the market, subject to constant quarantine restrictions.
The planet is just beginning to recover from the eternal quarantine restrictions and the ban on offline trading, but most entrepreneurs already understand that they need an online store.
Creating a turnkey online store is comparable to assembling a rocket in your garage. It is possible, but incredibly difficult and will require titanic efforts and time from you, which is by no means the fact that it will pay off. At the same time, having no experience in the development of online stores, you can make hundreds of mistakes, the correction of which in the future may turn into a separate graph of expenses of your business, but what about it?
An online store is a website where all the products of your company are placed in a user-friendly form. In order to create a high-quality online store, you will need to enlist the help of professionals. By ordering the creation of an online store from the specialists of the Gloss web studio, you are guaranteed to receive a high-quality resource without any errors.

The development of an online store may sound ominous, but in fact it is a segmented process, each element of which has its own meaning. In order to better understand why you need the help of specialists, we decided to collect a detailed checklist for creating an online store. In this article, we will talk about the most important stages of the development of an online store, starting from an idea and ending with a ready-made resource.
After reading this article, you will not only be able to get acquainted with all the stages of creating an online store, but also better understand the possible difficulties that may be on your way. At the same time, this article contains information obtained from your own experience, and its use can significantly increase your chances of success. “So how are online stores created?" - Let's figure it out!
Creating an online store: 5 steps to your own business
We have analyzed the entire path of the online store from the idea to the finished business to tell you how this process takes place. It is worth noting that in this article we have focused only on the most important points, skirting the details. In order to learn more about the development of online stores and about each individual point of this process, you just need to visit our blog and get acquainted with relevant articles.
As for the checklist for creating a turnkey online store, the list of steps that will be waiting for you on the way looks like this:
1. Stage: Idea and demand analysis
Any business is primarily an idea and an online store is no exception. In order to create your own online store, first of all, you need to formulate an idea. Do you want to sell clothes? Or maybe the product that you like is construction equipment? In the future, not only your success, but also your profit may depend on the choice of a niche and the idea of the business itself.
After you have decided on the concept of your business, one of the most important stages begins, namely, the analysis of the market and demand for your goods. Competition in the e-commerce market, regardless of the niche, is extremely high at the end of 2021. The reason why hundreds of turnkey online stores are created every day is the economic situation not only in Ukraine, but also in European countries. The coronavirus pandemic has not spared anyone, and each country is trying to cope with the consequences of this pandemic on its own.
At the beginning of 2020, when no one knew what quarantine restrictions were, most businesses adhered to offline trading. Many stores that have been existing for more than 10 years have long gathered their customer base for themselves, because such stores simply did not have the need to create an online store. At the same time, new businesses, on the contrary, sought to take their place in the niche as quickly as possible with the help of websites and various marketing campaigns. It is always difficult for a new business to compete with an already established one, and therefore many entrepreneurs relied on innovations and the best user experience – which an offline store simply cannot provide.
The e-commerce market has changed with the arrival of the first quarantine restrictions. According to statistics, more than 30 percent of catering establishments did not open their doors again after the lockdown was announced and restrictions were further lifted. Quarantine restrictions have become one of the biggest blows to the economy of Ukraine.
In order to somehow save their business, many entrepreneurs ran to specialists and web studios in order to order the creation of a turnkey online store as quickly as possible. Some of them still managed to cope with the competition and are now thriving, but there were also those who did not understand how much time and money was really needed in order to create a turnkey online store capable of competing with other Internet resources in search results.
In order to better understand what you should expect – the first step is to make not only the design of your idea, but also a thorough analysis of the market. You need to know your competitors in person even before you order the development of an online store from the specialists of one of the web studios. This knowledge in the future can help you not only to create your own online store or a turnkey corporate website, but also to effectively fight competitors for a "place in the sun".
After carefully analyzing the market, you will be able to find out two types of data that can greatly affect the success of your future business. The first type of data is the number of competitors and overall competition in this niche. Naturally, with the popularization of online commerce, there are competitors in all niches, but first of all you need to determine which companies have succeeded in your niche and which companies you are closest to at the moment. The second type of data is the demand for your products. It is demand that dictates your profit, because if the product is not interesting to the user, he will not buy it. It should be noted here that these two types of data are interrelated.
The higher the competition– the higher the demand for goods. At the same time, if there is no competition, maybe this product is new and therefore you have chosen the perfect time to enter the market. It may also be that the demand for the product has fallen, but the competition has remained, this possibility should also be taken into account, because the wrong decision at this stage in the future can make you bankrupt.
Stage 2: Target audience analysis and product selection
The main task of an online store in the general understanding is to provide interested buyers with the goods they need, but how to do it? The Internet is a world wide web that has no end. It is used by millions of users around the world, and how to distinguish your target audience among them?
To do this, you will need some skill and understanding of who can actually buy your products. At the same time, you will need the help of specialists from the Gloss web studio in analyzing search queries and selecting the most relevant ones for your products. Thus, starting with search queries, you will be able to clarify for yourself who actually most often buys products similar to yours and decide on the target audience.
By contacting the specialists of the Gloss web studio, you will not only be able to identify your target audience, but also assemble a semantic core, which will definitely be useful to you in the future. With its help, you will be able to make your online store the most relevant relative to the search queries of your prospective customers, which means that the chance of making a purchase on your site will increase dramatically.
If you are just planning to purchase goods and have not yet decided what kind of products you need to purchase– the best solution will be based on the analysis of the target audience. If you already have a product, or you are its manufacturer, it is important for you to determine who can buy this product. If you don't have the product yet, you can choose the target audience you like or the target audience segment, highlighted by interests, age or place of residence – and then select the most relevant and interesting products for the target audience. Both methods have their pros and cons, but with the support of specialists from the Gloss web studio, you will be able to circumvent them.
3. Stage: Analysis of the quality of goods
When choosing a product for your future website, it is important to understand that the client is the same person as you. He also has doubts and also wants to get a quality product. Turning to novice web studios to create a turnkey online store, you first of all want to get the maximum quality at a low price, and your potential buyer wants the same.
When choosing a product for your online store, you need not only to pay attention to the quality of products, but also to the profitability of its purchase. Undoubtedly, a quality product is always expensive, but after analyzing the target audience, you should understand which products your target audience is able to afford and which are not. Having found the golden mean between the final cost of the product, your profit and customer satisfaction, you can make the best choice, and get one step closer to the first profit.
4. Stage: Development of an online store
After the supplier of the goods and the type of goods are determined, you can start creating an online store. The development of an online store can actually begin at any of the previously announced stages. But having data about your future target audience, its interests and hobbies, you will be able to formulate in much more detail not only the ideas of the online store itself, but also its design.
In the modern world, design is 50% success. If your product is of excellent quality, but at the same time it is not packed in high–quality packaging or looking at it you do not want to pick it up - most likely your idea is doomed to failure. At the same time, an excessive focus on design can lead you to mistakes in other, equally important stages of online store development and business. In order to avoid mistakes during the creation of a turnkey online store, you should think about cooperation with one of the leading companies in the market in this area, for example, with us.

During this time, we have done great and were able to create more than one and a half thousand high-quality web resources. Leading manufacturers in Ukraine work with us and you may be among them.

If you are determined and want to become the leader of search results in your niche - order the creation of a turnkey online store from the specialists of the Gloss web studio and start your business on the Internet by working with leaders!
5. Stage: Launch of your dream online store
After the online store has been launched into development, it will take quite a bit of time before you can start selling your products. It should be noted that your site will also need filling, because your client must first familiarize himself with the product in order to purchase it in the future.
Filling an online store, it is important to remember that your product is unknown to the customer and he wants to know more before giving you his hard-earned money. In order to satisfy the curiosity of customers and at the same time make your product more attractive– you should think about hiring a professional photographer who will prepare the best pictures of your products.
In addition to photos, one of the fundamental values for business today is content. With the help of high-quality descriptions, you can attract the user, and by generously placing in the descriptions key queries taken from the semantic core, which was created at the stage of data analysis, you can make the pages of your site more interesting for search algorithms. Thus, when the content on your site is as relevant as possible relative to the user's search query, it is your online store that will be among the first sites that will appear on the user's screen. To achieve such a result, you will need a remarkable amount of effort and time, but if you are not ready to spend your own time– you can always contact us.
Gloss web studio will help you with the design of an online store idea, search and segmentation of the target audience, as well as the development of an online store, its design, and marketing campaigns.

How a website audit can transform your business
A website audit is not a simple check, it is a necessity that allows you to deeply understand both the technical and marketing aspects of your site. Is your website optimized for search engines? Does it communicate effectively with your potential customers? The answers to these questions can radically change your approaches and strategies. Ordering a website analysis can reveal hidden issues that are holding back your site's lead generation and customer acquisition potential. Whether you're looking to improve your site's search engine rankings or increase user satisfaction, an audit can provide you with the tools and guidance you need.
We will look at how a carefully prepared audit can significantly improve your website and make it more competitive. We will discuss what aspects of a website are checked during an audit, what benefits it can bring to your business, and how you can order a website audit from professionals to ensure the best results.
Why does your business need a website audit?
Excellent website usability is not just a nice bonus, but a critical condition for ensuring online success. A website audit allows you to analyze in detail how conveniently and efficiently users interact with your site, and how this affects your business's ability to achieve its goals. Here are some reasons why it is important:
- Increase user satisfaction: An audit reveals navigation and interface issues that may prevent users from easily and intuitively finding the information they need or performing the actions they want on your site. Improving these aspects can significantly increase your visitors' satisfaction.
- Reduce bounce rate: When users find it difficult to navigate the site or perform the necessary actions, they are more likely to leave the site without converting. An audit helps to identify and fix design elements that can lead to a high bounce rate.
- Increase conversions: Website optimization can have a direct impact on your conversions. For example, simplifying the checkout process or improving the visibility of a call-to-action button can significantly increase the number of successful transactions.
- Search engine optimization: SEO audit and optimization is part of the overall website audit and focuses on aspects that affect your website's visibility in search engines. Analyzing keywords, meta tags, URL structure, and other SEO practices will help to push your website higher in search results.
- Improving accessibility: The audit also assesses how accessible your site is to people with disabilities. Ensuring accessibility not only expands your target audience, but also emphasizes your responsibility as a business.
- Optimization for mobile devices: Nowadays, it's important that your website is optimized for mobile users. An audit will help ensure that your website works efficiently on all types of devices, improving the overall user experience.
Ensuring a high quality website is an investment in customer satisfaction and the efficiency of your online space. Ordering a professional audit can help you identify critical issues and resolve them before they negatively affect your business. You can read more about SEO promotion in the article "Features of SEO optimization of an online store"
How the audit is conducted and what we offer
Website audit is a complex process that includes several key stages. Each stage has its own specifics and requires a detailed approach. Our team of specialists uses advanced technologies and techniques to ensure the highest quality of services. This is how we work:
- Audit planning: First of all, we identify your business goals and website features. This helps us to prepare a personalized audit plan that takes into account all the necessary aspects: from technical analysis to user experience assessment.
- Technical audit: At this stage, we check the technical component of the website: coding, information architecture, compliance with SEO and web accessibility standards. We identify technical errors that may prevent the site from being indexed by search engines or impair overall performance.
- User experience (UX) audit: We analyze how visitors interact with your website and evaluate the usability of the interface. In this context, we can also put a heatmap on the site. Heatmaps allow you to visualize where users click most often, how long they stay on certain segments of the page, and how they scroll through the page. This is very useful for improving page structure and content.
- Report and recommendations: At the final stage, we compile a detailed report that includes all the issues we found and specific recommendations for fixing them. We provide practical advice that can be implemented quickly to improve your website.
- Support and optimization: After the audit, we also offer website maintenance and optimization services. This can include regular updates, monitoring of website performance, and additional checks for compliance with changed requirements or technologies.
Our goal is not just to identify problems, but to provide you with the tools and knowledge to solve them effectively, so that your website not only works at full capacity, but also helps you grow your business.
Glyanec provides professional website audit services that include technical audit, usability testing, SEO optimization, and analysis of your website's accessibility and security.

What are the advantages of websites over mobile apps?
Different companies are faced with the choice between developing mobile apps and websites every day. While mobile apps may seem convenient and innovative, it's important not to ignore the numerous advantages of websites. Ordering a website is not just an investment in an online presence, but a strategic decision that can significantly reduce development and maintenance costs, provide a wider audience reach, and improve search engine rankings.
We'll take a closer look at why websites compare favorably to mobile apps, analyzing their functionality, accessibility, and maintenance costs. The importance of websites in today's digitalized landscape cannot be underestimated, as they play a key role in attracting customers, expanding the market, and optimizing the user experience.
What is a website and a mobile application?
Websites and mobile apps play vital roles in promoting a business, but they have significant differences. A mobile app is a program downloaded and installed on a mobile device that can use the phone's system capabilities, such as a camera, GPS, or gyroscope. They can offer a more personalized experience, but they require significant investment to develop and maintain.
Therefore, choosing between website development and in-house development usually turns out to be a more profitable and effective solution.
Main advantages of websites
Websites offer a number of benefits that make them an attractive choice for businesses of all sizes. Let's take a look at a few of the key benefits you should consider when considering a website for your business.
- Universal access: One of the main advantages of websites is their accessibility. Visitors can access your site from any device that has an Internet connection, regardless of the operating system. This provides a wide audience reach and the ability to attract more potential customers.
- Cost-effectiveness: Ordering a website is often much cheaper than developing a mobile app. The cost of developing and maintaining a website is lower because you don't need to create separate versions for different platforms, such as iOS and Android. In addition, updates and changes to the site can be implemented faster and easier, which reduces overall maintenance costs.
- SEO and marketing benefits: Websites provide better opportunities for search engine optimization (SEO). This means that your website can rank higher in search engines, increasing the chances of being discovered by potential customers. Optimizing your website for search engines helps to increase its visibility and attract more organic traffic.
- Improving the user experience: Websites can offer a rich and user-friendly user interface that is adapted for different devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktops. With a responsive design, users can easily navigate the site, which improves the overall user experience and can increase conversion rates.
With these benefits in mind, building a website is a rational choice for businesses looking to maximize the benefits of their online presence. Not only do websites save money and resources, but they also provide ample opportunities to scale and grow your business.
Why do users abandon mobile apps?
Despite the significant development of mobile technology and the increase in the number of available apps, many users still prefer websites. This is due to a number of reasons that point to certain disadvantages of mobile apps and limitations that can affect the user experience.
Most users do not see the need to install mobile applications when they can easily access the same services or information through a website on their laptop or smartphone via a browser. This is especially true for those services that users use infrequently or sporadically.
Additionally, users emphasize that mobile apps often take up too much space on their devices, which can be critical for those with limited storage space. There are also concerns about battery and mobile data consumption, especially when apps are running in the background or transferring large amounts of data.
Privacy and security issues
One of the biggest concerns that pushes users away from mobile apps is the issue of privacy and security. Many apps require extensive permissions to access personal information such as contacts, location, social media data, and even personal files, which raises concerns among users about how this data is collected, stored, and used. There is also a fear that mobile apps may be vulnerable to hacking, especially those that store sensitive financial data or personal information. Data breaches at large companies that have made headlines only reinforce these concerns.
These factors contribute to the fact that many users prefer to use websites that do not require a download and provide quick access to services without the need to install resource-consuming applications. This confirms that websites can be a more convenient and secure solution for many users. However, for many companies, creating a website will prove to be the most optimal solution to effectively attract customers and provide high quality service with minimal costs and complexity.
To summarize, a careful choice between website and mobile app development should be based on the specific needs of the business, its target audience, and available resources. However, for many companies, ordering a website will prove to be the most optimal solution that allows them to effectively attract customers and provide high quality service with minimal costs and complexity.
What are progressive web applications and what are their advantages
Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) are changing the way we think about what websites can do. This technology combines the best of the web and mobile applications, offering speed and usability that was previously only possible in apps. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what progressive web apps are, what technologies are behind them, their benefits, and key implementation considerations. We will pay special attention to how progressive web applications can transform your business by providing a better user experience and increasing productivity.
What are progressive web applications?
Progressive web applications are a type of software that is split into a website and a mobile application. This allows users to install web applications on their devices and use them in a similar way to regular mobile applications. An important feature of PWAs is that they use web browser technologies but offer functionality that is usually associated only with mobile applications.
The PWA concept was first introduced by Google in 2015. The goal was to make the web experience as convenient and fast as possible. Since then, the technology has gained significant development and support, especially from companies seeking to improve the mobile user experience without losing the versatility and accessibility of the web.
Technologies used in advanced web applications
Progressive web applications use a number of modern web technologies to provide users with an experience that is as close as possible to mobile applications. The most important of these technologies are:
- Service Workers - scripts that run in the background, independently of the web page, and allow you to manage network requests, cache resources, and use push notifications.
- Manifest file - a JSON file that allows developers to install a web application on the home screen, set the icon and the start screen.
- Using HTTPS - ensuring the security of user data and the reliable operation of web applications.
Why progressive web applications are better than traditional sites
Improving the user experience
Progressive web applications are characterized by extremely fast loading speeds and high responsiveness, which is ensured by data caching and intelligent management of network requests. This means that users are able to access content instantly, regardless of the quality of their Internet connection, which significantly improves the overall user experience.
Offline access and support for push notifications
One of the defining features of PWA is the ability to work offline. This is achieved thanks to Service Workers technology, which allows web applications to cache important content and provide access to it without the need for an Internet connection. In addition, PWAs can use push notifications to inform users about news, updates, or special offers even when they are not using the web application.
Increase engagement and conversion rates
Thanks to better user experience and offline capabilities, PWAs demonstrate high rates of user engagement and increased conversions. The ability to load quickly and run smoothly on any device ensures higher customer loyalty and a higher likelihood of completing targeted actions, such as making a purchase or filling out a contact form.
Steps to implement progressive web applications in your business
Implementing progressive web applications may seem daunting, but with the right approach, the process can be efficient and smooth. Here are the basic steps to integrate PWA into your business:
- Audit the current state of the website - check if your site is ready for conversion to PWA. This includes ensuring HTTPS compatibility, site responsiveness on different devices, and the availability of all necessary technical aspects.
- Developing and configuring Service Workers is a key component of PWA that allows the website to work offline and use push notifications.
- Creating a web app manifest - a manifest allows users to add your app to the home screen of their devices, providing easier access and a more native experience.
- PWA testing - ensure that your PWA works properly across all devices and browsers, with special attention to offline mode and loading speed.
- Monitoring and updating - once your PWA is up and running, it's important to keep it up to date and make updates to resolve any issues or improve functionality.
To illustrate how easily and quickly users can install a progressive web application on their devices, we have prepared an animated GIF. This GIF shows the process from the moment a user visits a website to the moment they install the web application on the home screen of their mobile device. This demonstrates the simplicity and ease of use of PWAs, as well as their ability to offer a native experience through a web browser.
Progressive web apps are a powerful tool for business development, offering speed, convenience, and an enhanced user experience comparable to native mobile apps. They allow you to achieve a high level of customer engagement, provide the ability to work offline and send push notifications, which is critical in today's dynamic market. Thanks to their ease of installation and efficiency, PWAs can significantly increase conversion rates and improve the overall user experience.
If you're looking for a way to make your web experience more efficient and engaging, progressive web applications can be a great solution. Remember that proper implementation and ongoing updates are essential to the success of any technology solution. Don't hesitate to bring in professionals to help you optimize your website to turn it into a responsive web app and take full advantage of its capabilities.
Virtual fitting rooms in online stores: how artificial intelligence is changing shopping
In a world where technology is changing every aspect of our lives, online shopping has become one of the fastest growing areas. However, despite all the convenience that shopping from home offers, there is one problem that still makes many shoppers hesitate before clicking the "buy" button: the inability to try on clothes before buying. This is where innovative technologies, such as virtual fitting rooms, come into play, promising to revolutionize the way we buy clothes online.
Virtual fitting room is a cutting-edge technology that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to allow customers to try on clothes virtually before making a purchase. This innovation has the potential not only to provide a better online shopping experience, but also to fundamentally change the entire retail sector.
Our company is closely monitoring this area of technology and expects its rapid development in the near future. We believe that the integration of such innovations will not only increase customer satisfaction, but will also significantly improve the efficiency of online stores by reducing the number of returns due to mismatched sizes or appearance of goods.
Evolution of virtual fitting rooms
From early experiments to today's advanced systems, virtual fitting rooms have come a long way. Initial attempts to implement digital solutions for trying on clothes were criticized due to poor visualization quality and limited functionality. However, with the advent of advanced artificial intelligence technologies and improved image processing algorithms, virtual fitting rooms are becoming much more accurate and useful for the end user.
The key to the success of virtual fitting rooms lies in the use of a range of technologies. This includes computer vision, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and image processing algorithms. These technologies allow to analyze users' photos in real time, adapting clothes to their body parameters. In addition, advanced interfaces ensure that these systems are intuitive and easy to use.
Benefits for consumers and businesses
Virtual fitting rooms offer significant benefits for both customers and store owners. For consumers, it is an opportunity to visually assess how the clothes will fit them without having to visit a physical store or wait for the goods to be delivered. This significantly increases customer satisfaction and reduces the number of returns. On the other hand, retailers are able to attract more customers by offering a unique shopping experience and reduce the costs associated with handling returns. As a result, virtual fitting rooms not only boost sales but also improve business sustainability.
Online fitting - how does it work?
Integrating a virtual fitting room into a website requires a comprehensive approach that includes the development or implementation of specialized software. This software uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze user-entered data, such as body measurements, or even real-time photos or videos to create an accurate virtual image on which to "try on" clothes.
Artificial intelligence plays a key role in the functioning of virtual fitting rooms, as it analyzes and processes user data to create an accurate three-dimensional model. Such systems can recommend the most suitable size of clothing, taking into account not only the size but also the personal preferences of users regarding the fit of clothing. The introduction of virtual fitting rooms is changing not only the way people buy clothes, but also the overall online shopping experience. Customers are able not only to visually see how the clothes will look on them, but also to experiment with different styles and colors without the need to physically visit the store. This interactive approach can greatly enhance the user experience, increasing shopping satisfaction while reducing the likelihood of returning an item due to a failure to meet expectations.
Advantages of online clothing fitting
The use of online clothing fitting technologies brings significant benefits that affect both the consumer experience and the efficiency and sustainability of retail business models. Let's look at the key aspects of these benefits:
Reducing the number of product returns
One of the biggest challenges for online retailers is the high number of returns, which is often due to mismatches in sizing or customer expectations of how the product looks. Online clothing fitting can significantly reduce this risk by giving customers a better understanding of how the clothes will fit them, which in turn leads to more confident purchases and fewer returns.
Increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty
Enhancing the online shopping experience through a virtual fitting room helps to increase overall customer satisfaction. Interactivity and personalization of purchases strengthen the relationship between brands and their customers, encouraging repeat purchases and increasing loyalty.
Impact on environmental friendliness and business sustainability
Reducing the number of returns not only improves economic efficiency for businesses, but also has a positive impact on the environment. Reducing the need to transport returned goods helps to reduce the carbon footprint of companies, making them more sustainable and environmentally responsible.
The future of the fitting room for an online store
One of the main trends is to improve the accuracy and interactivity of virtual fitting rooms through the expanded use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This includes the development of algorithms that can analyze the more subtle nuances of users' figures, as well as integration with virtual and augmented reality to create a more immersive fitting experience.
Artificial intelligence not only improves virtual fitting rooms, but also opens up new opportunities for personalizing fashion offers. This can include automatic clothing recommendations based on previous purchases, lifestyle, and personal preferences, which will significantly improve the user experience and shopping efficiency.
By closely following these trends and actively experimenting with virtual fitting rooms, our company strives not only to optimize our customers' experience, but also to act as an integration leader in the market. Recognizing the importance of these innovations, we are confident that the further introduction and development of virtual fitting rooms will not only contribute to the growth of our company, but will also play an important role in shaping the future of online retail by making shopping more convenient, personalized and sustainable.
