Development of a catalog site

What is a catalog site and who needs it?

A web catalog is a website that contains all the necessary data about a company, as well as detailed product descriptions. Such a resource can contain either 50 or 1500 different product items. The catalog is easy to maintain, as it does not involve processing online orders. However, the catalog site allows customers to choose a product, find out its detailed characteristics, price, and find out the manager's contacts to contact and place an order. The purchase does not take place automatically, but after the manager's approval.

A website with a catalog is suitable for a small business in the field of goods or services. We will create a product catalog that will contain all the information the client needs and convenient functionality. As a result, the customer will be able to get a designer website that fully meets the needs of the brand. Websites of this type are adapted for all types of devices.

Advantages of an online catalog

Creating an online catalog allows businesses to gain a lot of advantages. Among them are the following:
  1. Continuous sale of goods and services. A catalog site works around the clock, it has no days off and no holidays or non-working days. Customers can find out information about products at any time of the day or night, as well as leave a request to a manager who will contact you at a convenient time. This makes it possible to reduce the number of failures and better interact with customers.
  2. Always up-to-date information. Having a catalog site allows you to make changes to product information as soon as it is needed. A convenient management system provides complete content management.
  3. Continuous expansion of the customer base. Your business, products, and services will be known not only in a narrow location, your city or district, but also in the whole country and even abroad. A web catalog improves the promotion of goods and services. It allows you to search for new partners and customers.
  4. Simplifies the work of the company. Detailed descriptions of goods and services, high-quality photos, as well as answers to frequently asked questions of customers, reduce the workload of managers and save time.
