Braham Singh, CEO of BDx Data Center, is the new guest on Dinis Guarda’s YouTube Podcast series, in collaboration with openbusinesscouncil.org, citiesabc.com, and fashionabc.org. The two experts talk about the explosion of data in Web 3.0 and in the metaverse, and how data centres can ensure sustainability in the amount of energy consumed to manage this high volume of data.

With more than 30 years of experience in the telecom industry, content delivery networks, and cloud services, Braham Singh is a seasoned executive leader, bestselling author, and global thought leader.

The current CEO of BDx Data Centers, Dinis highlighted Braham Singh’s multicultural and international exposure. After being asked by Dinis, Braham elaborated that during his early years in India, he found his foothold in programming. He, then, moved to Hong Kong, Singapore, and the US. He was delighted to share BDx’s recent presence in Indonesia, where the company had established six data centres across the country.

And when the discussion steered to his arc of achievements and projects, the discussion turned into a masterclass in leadership. Braham dispensed some of the principles that are salient for everyone:

“Timing is everything. You need to find the right people and at the right time.” He explained that decisions and choices shape the future trajectory of a person. “I think everyone should be fired at least once. It brings a level of humility and invigorates you. It makes you almost a new person.”, added another point to this lesson.

Balancing the multifaceted personality

Dinis was interested to know about Braham’s journey through various stages of his life. Commenting about his writer’s side, Braham told Dinis that he always found programming and writing follow parallel behaviour in terms of their structure and style.

“There has to be fanatical attention to detail while having the ability to look at a broader picture. The details of a plot are unforgivable. If the readers catch a mistake, they lose respect for you and the book.”, he emphasised.

The same thing, he said, translates to selling a product. He gives credit for his ability to close a deal properly to writing. “Writing has got huge dividends, and I would urge everyone to write. The ability to speak, convey ideas, and convey them on a paper is far more important than your degree. This is what I’ve learned in 30 years of my professional life,” he said.

Speaking about his idea of leadership, he says that every participant in a team is the driver of success. Hence, metaphorically explaining the importance of every member, he emphasised that it is the synergy that drives a project to success.

“We can’t divorce from any of these roles”, he concludes, highlighting that all these facets of personality go hand in hand and that one needs to make a choice to strike a balance between them.

Data centres in the metaverse and Web 3.0 era

The conversation, then, took a futuristic turn to discuss the state of data centres in the metaverse and Web 3.0. Both the experts agreed that the metaverse is a paradigm shift from URLs.

“When a technology explodes, you can’t control it. Internet…. Could anyone control it? But by and large, technology like the internet, nobody could control it. For a long time, before the internet became a video playground, almost 60% of the internet was pornography. Could anyone control it? If someone is thinking that the metaverse can be controlled, you’re kidding yourself. All you can do is scale, get yourself ready to scale with it,” Braham said.

Speaking about the problem that arises with the mushrooming of metaverses and the Web 3.0 space, he added:

“Where are we going to build? You are going to need a heck lot of data centres, far beyond what we are doing. It is not possible with the current technologies that govern power generation. It all burns down to power- powering those data centres is going to become so critical when the metaverse kicks in. You don’t have the power today, it’s just not there.”

Dinis, then, highlighted the ESG concerns like climate change and unsustainable power consumption. Speaking about carbon trading, Braham replied:

“We need to bring some credibility back into the carbon trade. The people who are connected through blockchain are working on it. We can’t do much about it until the human element is addressed.” 

Taking a reference from their modus operandi to address problems, he added that all the pain points need to be digitalised to find a sustainable solution.

As the interview drew to a conclusion, both Dinis and Braham had so many lessons to take home and learn from each other.

Booksabc is the new series by author and serial entrepreneur Dinis Guarda where he presents books and authors that he feels are key for the advancement of humankind. In the second episode of the podcast, he highlights ‘Step Into The Metaverse’ authored by Mark Van Rijmenam, a digital speaker and author known widely in the technology world, whom Dinis had earlier interviewed for his YouTube podcast series.

An ardent reader, renowned author, and globally accomplished influencer, Dinis Guarda brings fresh perspectives to light through his latest series, Booksabc, where he reviews the books that have the potential to shift the paradigms of our society.

“Books are really one of the most important parameters that reflect humanity and bring out the best in it. It is through books that you create narratives and visions. Books improve and optimize our performance, our businesses, our ideas, and our way of thinking. I always see books as an augmented reality of the way we look at perception and the way we can improve everything that we are about. It is a great way of focussing on ideas and topics for improving and learning,” he said.

BooksABC, The New Youtube Series By Author And Entrepreneur, founder of citiesabc.com openbusinesscouncil.org Dinis Guarda, Kicks Off With “The Metaverse Handbook” Review


After launching this series with QuHarrison Terry’s ‘The Metaverse Handbook’, he brings ‘Step Into The Metaverse’ by Mark van Rijmenam, a digital speaker, influencer, and author who is widely known in the technology world for his knowledge, insights, and strategies for businesses and future tech. The book focuses on the idea: how the immersive internet will unlock a trillion-dollar social economy. The Foreword is written by Jamie Burke, and is published by Wiley.

According to Dinis: “I think it is a powerful book, because it goes 3600 into the metaverse, and how the metaverse can create new narratives around our society.”

Mark Rijimenam’s vision of the metaverse on ‘Step Into The Metaverse’

‘Step Into The Metaverse’ creates a benchmark for key concepts like open metaverse, hybrid web, open economic system, and the immersive future. The book argues invariably about the paradigms of AR, VR, and XR, the concepts of interoperability, community-driven platforms of sovereignty, and the specialty of computer sciences.

Sharing the views of John Gaeta, creator, innovator, and executive, on the book, Dinis read out: “In ‘Step Into The Metaverse’, Mark van Rijmenam takes a comprehensive view of the converging forces that will fuse and someday become a future paradigm for human growth, prosperity, and existence.”

Dinis also read out the preface of the book, where Mark Rijimenam shares his vision and writes:

“I hope you will enjoy this journey as much as I did while uncovering this magical world where we are only bound by our own creativity. In this book, we will share my vision for the metaverse, what it can become, and how it will change our identity as well as how we play, socialise, shop, and work. If we manage to develop an open metaverse, the trillions of dollars generated will be shared with all creators and creatives.

But beware, there are dangers lurking on the road ahead that we need to think carefully about how to avoid the same mistakes as we did while building Web 2.0 or the social internet. I realise that every chapter of this book can be an entire book by itself as there is so much happening when it comes to the metaverse, and the world is constantly changing. However, I tried to keep it brief while covering as much as possible.”

Dinis highlighted the key points that make the book stand out in its category. Explaining the importance of topics like unbound creativity of creators, exponential enterprise connectivity, the creator economy, digitalisation of the metaverse, the future of the metaverse, and immersive experiences, Dinis said:

“I think it’s better to look at these topics, especially to understand better; of course, the future is what we write about, but it’s really important that we understand these things to leverage our lives.”

We deserve to treat ourselves every once and a while to keep life exciting and enjoyable. One of the best ways to do so is by giving ourselves a piece of fine jewelry.
Jewelry is a hallmark of any wardrobe, and the key to accessorizing your favorite looks so they stand out. When buying jewelry for yourself, you don’t want to cut corners: get yourself something nice that will last you a long time. Sure, you could buy a cheap necklace made with fake gold, but there’s a good chance it won’t last long, and you’ll be in the market for new jewelry once again. You might think that fine jewelry is out of your depth, and every time you look at jewelry prices, your head starts to spin. However, with a little bit of research, you can gain the insight that you need to pick out and pay for the jewelry of your dreams. Read on to learn how to buy jewelry for yourself like a pro. 

Concerned About Your Budget? Consider Credit Jewelers

One of the biggest reasons that people fail to buy themselves fine jewelry is thinking that they don’t have the funds to afford it. However, there are many credit jewelers who make their fine jewelry wares available to customers of all budget brackets through financing. 

Credit jewelers will typically have you sign up for a credit card, or another form of monthly payment plan in order to pay for the jewelry that you purchase over a set period of time. Most credit jewelers’ payment plans are between 12, 24, 36, or 60 months in length. Depending on the payment plan that you choose, you may have to pay an initial down payment on the jewelry that you buy, so keep in mind that you’ll want a bit saved up to cover a small portion of your jewelry purchase just in case. Credit jewelers will typically charge interest on any payments that aren’t made within their specific payback period, so it’s important  to always be on top of your monthly installments. 

By buying yourself fine jewelry from credit jewelers, you give yourself the opportunity to purchase more expensive jewelry options that you might not be able to afford upfront. As such, credit jewelers help those who might initially feel discouraged by their jewelry budget to seek the accessories of their dreams. 

Define Your Personal Style

Once you’ve selected a credit jeweler to purchase your jewelry from, you’ll want to consider your personal style and define what kind of jewelry aligns with your taste. For instance, if you’re someone who likes to wear simple, classic outfits, like a button-down shirt and jeans, you might want to go for a more understated jewelry option, like a dainty gold necklace, or a pair of hoop earrings. Alternatively, if you’re someone who simply lives for the drama in every facet of life, it’s worth it to get a jeweled statement necklace or sparkly pair of dangling earrings that matches your style. By taking the time to consider your fashion likes and dislikes, you’re more likely to select a jewelry piece that you’ll want to wear all the time. 

Pick the Perfect Occasion

While you never need an excuse to buy yourself a nice piece of jewelry, it can be fun to pick a special occasion to treat yourself. For instance, maybe you want to get yourself a new bracelet to commemorate an important birthday. Or, you could give yourself the gift of a matching necklace and earring set after conquering a huge achievement, like getting a promotion. Just as much fun as it is to be surprised with gifts by loved ones, it’s also important that we celebrate ourselves and the things that we accomplish. The more that we recognize ourselves for the amazing things that we do, the more self-confidence we build, which can help us achieve great things in the future. 

In Conclusion

Buying jewelry for yourself is a wonderful form of self-care. While you might consider your budget to be too small, or there to be no reason to celebrate, both are highly untrue! If you’re concerned about your finances when it comes to purchasing a nice piece of jewelry for yourself, you can look into buying your jewelry from credit jewelers, who offer different forms of month-to-month repayment plans. By financing the jewelry that you buy for yourself with a credit jeweler, you can pay in a way that suits your budgetary needs, and enjoy the accessories that you want to buy right now. In addition to finding the right finance plan for your jewelry purchase, you’ll also want to consider your personal style, so you can pick out a jewelry piece that you’ll adore wearing. Finally, remember that you can celebrate yourself with jewelry any time of year, as a form of self-care and a commemoration of the amazing things you achieve on a daily basis.

Renewable energy is one of the most critical issues facing the world today. We must develop new and inventive methods of producing renewable energy, as it’s vital to the health of our planet. This article will explore some of the leading innovations in renewable energy.

 


                        Which innovations are leading the way to renewable energy?

Solar energy

Solar energy is considered one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Solar panels turn sunshine into electricity, providing them with a clean and renewable energy source. Solar panels are classified into two main types: photovoltaic (PV) cells and concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. PV cells are semiconductor materials that absorb and convert sunlight into energy. CSP systems employ mirrors to focus sunlight on a central receiver, which generates heat you can use to power a turbine and generate electricity.

 

Wind power

Wind power is another renewable energy source that is gaining popularity. Wind turbines transform the kinetic energy generated by the wind into electricity. The two primary types of wind turbines are the horizontal axis and the vertical-axis. Horizontal-axis turbines have blades perpendicular to the ground, while vertical-axis turbines have blades parallel to the ground. Wind power is a clean and sustainable energy source that has the potential to satisfy a significant portion of the world’s energy demands.

 

Hydroelectricity

Hydroelectricity is a type of clean energy that generates electricity by harnessing the power of flowing water. Hydroelectric power plants use dams to store water in reservoirs. When the electricity demand is high, water is released from the reservoir and flows through turbines, which generate electricity. Hydroelectricity is a clean and sustainable energy source that can fulfil a significant portion of the world’s energy requirements.

 

Geothermal energy

Geothermal energy is a renewable, sustainable resource derived from the heat of the Earth. This thermal power creates electric currents via steam turbines in geothermal plants. The water for said steam usually originates from underground hot springs or rocks heated by magma close to Earth’s surface. Therefore, this type of energy is not only environmentally friendly but could also play a significant role in fulfilling future global demands.

 

Biomass energy

Biomass energy generates power from organic materials. Biomass power plants use biomass to generate electricity. Biomass is any organic material used as fuel, such as wood, crop residues, and animal waste. Biomass energy is a clean and renewable energy source that you can use to meet many of the world’s energy needs.

 

Nuclear fusion

Nuclear fusion is a form of renewable energy that uses the power of atoms to generate electricity. Nuclear fusion power plants use nuclear fusion to generate electricity. Nuclear fusion is the procedure of merging two atoms into one. It releases massive amounts of energy. Nuclear fusion is a clean and renewable source of energy that has the potential to meet a large percentage of the world’s energy needs.

 

Why it’s worth supporting renewable energy sources 

Reasons why it’s worthwhile to support renewable energy sources:

  1. Renewable energy is clean: Renewable energy sources produce electricity with zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other pollutants. It contrasts with fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, which release large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere when burned. The increased levels of atmospheric CO2 are a significant contributor to climate change.
  2. Renewable energy is sustainable: Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that eventually run out. Renewable energy sources are sustainable and will never be depleted. It is an essential consideration for the future of our planet.
  3. Renewable energy is efficient: Renewable energy sources are more efficient than fossil fuels. For example, PV cells have an efficiency of around 15-20%. It means that 15-20% of the sunlight that hits the PV cell is converted into electricity. The efficiency of fossil fuels is much lower. For example, the efficiency of coal is around 30%, and the efficiency of natural gas is around 40%.
  4. Renewable energy is cost-effective: The cost of renewable energy has been falling rapidly in recent years. The cost of PV cells has fallen by 99% since 1977, and the cost of wind turbines has fallen by 50% since 2009. Renewable energy costs are now comparable to those of fossil fuels. In some cases, it is even cheaper.
  5. Renewable energy creates jobs: The renewable energy industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. It now employs over 9 million people worldwide. It is in contrast to the fossil fuel industry, which is in decline. The renewable energy industry is expected to grow in the years ahead.
  6. Renewable energy is necessary for the future of our planet: Fossil fuels are a significant contributor to climate change. We need to switch to renewable energy sources to avoid catastrophic climate change. It is why supporting the growth of the renewable energy industry is so important.

 

These are six good reasons why it is worth supporting renewable energy sources. Renewable energy is clean, sustainable, efficient, cost-effective, and necessary for the future of our planet. What’s not to like?

 

Conclusion

Renewable energy is a clean and renewable energy source that you can use to meet many of the world’s energy needs. Biomass, nuclear fusion, solar power, wind power, and hydroelectric power are all forms of renewable energy. Renewable energy is sustainable, efficient, cost-effective, and creates jobs. It is also crucial for our planet’s future. We need to support the growth of the renewable energy industry if we want to avoid catastrophic climate change.

How To build a Successful Online Casino

Anyone interested in starting a profitable business can consider the online casino industry. Previous experience is not a must. The business has grown to become one of the most successful online phenomenons in the world today, with the potential to return good profits in a relatively short time. Even though the markets and rules have changed, this is still an excellent time to enter the industry. Here are some helpful tips for launching a successful online casino business.

Make sure your product is top quality

Whatever type of business you start, you will want to ensure that whatever you sell is of high quality. With the expansion of internet casinos, gamers may easily make bets from any location. Players have access to a wide selection of online casino slots. Here are some features that will set your online casino apart from the rest and demonstrate its high quality.

Wide selection of games

Even though each casino includes a selection of the most popular games that generate the bulk of the casino’s income and may seem sufficient, players cherish variety. A casino can serve a larger audience by offering more games. Ensure that your online casino offers a wide and varied range of games, including slots, live games, sportsbooks, poker, and bingo.

Fast registration and fast money transfers

To entice customers to join your online casino, you must make the registration process simple and painless. Not only that, but the less time and paperwork it takes to withdraw the winnings, the more loyal your customers will be. Every player prefers to gamble at a casino where they can easily and quickly withdraw their profits. These two features will help your company gain loyal customers.

Bonus offers for players

The majority of online casinos provide a range of bonuses to lure players. These include gifts, bonuses, promos, welcome packages, and free spins. These incentives and gifts should be utilized to their fullest extent. The best online casinos frequently offer these bonuses to fulfil their objectives. Most online casinos offer bonuses to beat off rivals and entice additional players to their gambling sites. Online casinos that offer free spins without a wagering requirement are especially favoured. Please pay particular attention to this. If a player is happy with the bonuses a casino offers, they will become loyal customers. The best casino bonus is always non sticky where players can play normally with their own money and after that they starts playing with bonus funds. 

24/7 Customer service

Gaining consumers’ trust is primarily accomplished through providing excellent customer service. It is ideal to have a 24/7 customer care crew to manage inquiries from foreign players who reside in different time zones for online casinos. People are more inclined to tell others about a bad consumer experience than a positive one. Therefore, don’t give them a reason to. Be receptive, trustworthy, and resourceful at all times.

Create a trustworthy online casino

Without a licence, your online casino is unable to operate. A legitimate licence is essential when trying to grow the customer base for your online casino. Additionally, getting your licence from gaming regulatory bodies renowned for their responsible licensing practices is advisable. This increases your online casino’s security assurance.

Secondly, you must make your gamers aware of the terms and conditions upfront so they won’t be caught off guard. The terms and conditions must be both fair and clear to players. As a result, you can expect to gain the trust of your customers.

How to get players

There is huge competition in the online casino industry since many people want to join in on the fun. You should concentrate on several aspects to draw in more players:

Have a marketing plan

Finding the most efficient marketing strategies might be challenging, given the abundance of available tools and possibilities. The most effective casino marketing strategies draw in more customers online. People first need to know how much they can wager at your online casino. It is crucial for players because many are hesitant to place a sizable wager on a game they don’t understand. Promos and bonuses are fantastic marketing strategies because they attract more clients.

Collaborate with casino affiliates

One of the most desirable skills in the iGaming sector is affiliate marketing. It is among the most crucial elements of the business’s potential expansion. Affiliate marketing is a form of performance-based advertising in which a casino operator pays a casino affiliate a commission for each customer or visitor brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. Using casino affiliates, you can gain devoted clients who are already familiar with your brand and some of your goods. These customers tend to stay around longer, giving you a dependable clientele! Through this extended relationship, you and your affiliate also develop mutual trust.

Social media channels

Creating thematic communities can be done well via social media sites and online forums. Start by sharing informative content, then start a conversation with your potential clients. Making a social media site with free betting predictions will also help you get strong conversion rates. Additionally, you can use influencers. You want their huge audiences, after all. Even if they don’t contain any gambling-related content, a strong endorsement from a well-known figure may draw a sizable number of new players.

Taking care of your customers

One excellent strategy to look after your customers is communicating with your players. Whether they win or lose, you should always be made to feel important. This idea can assist online casinos in giving their customers fantastic support. Players will stay on the website because of the high level of customer satisfaction. As a result, if online casinos want to continue operating, they must provide excellent customer service.

Conclusion

You are now fully informed about the elements that make an online casino successful. Start building a reliable online casino that is risk-free and secure for playing online games by following the recommendations provided in this article. Always remember that the website and payment methods must be secured for gamers to enjoy playing and placing bets. Security and safety must always be prioritized when working with online casinos.

A MoneyTransfers H1 2022 data presentation shows that co-working spaces constituted 20% of India’s roughly 21M square feet of office space. That represented a 233% surge from the 6% share it had in H1 2021.

India's Co-Working Office Spaces Demand Surges 233% in H1 2022
India’s Co-Working Office Spaces Demand Surges 233% in H1 2022

Jonathan Merry, CEO of MoneyTransfers, has been studying the data and concludes that co-working spaces are the future of office spaces in India.

Merry holds, “What we’re seeing is a dramatic shift in how people want to work.” He adds, “There’s a growing preference for co-working spaces over traditional office spaces, and we believe this trend will only continue. This shift has major implications for how businesses operate in India, and businesses and workers should evolve to take advantage of it.”

What’s Pushing India’s Demand For Co-working Spaces?

Merry attributed the rise in the demand for co-working spaces to the waning popularity of the traditional 9-5 working model. With the rise of the internet and mobile technologies, people can now work from anywhere at any time.

Secondly, the co-working spaces provide a more collaborative and creative environment than traditional office spaces. Merry explained that co-working spaces promote networking and knowledge sharing, which helps to stimulate innovation.

Lastly, the CEO noted that co-working spaces are becoming popular due to the country’s burgeoning startup ecosystem. He said these spaces provide startups with affordable and convenient options for setting up their operations.

Mapping India’s Co-working Spaces

Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai are some of the top cities that have seen a surge in co-working office spaces. They have collectively realized a net office absorption of roughly 12 million square feet. Co-working players accounted for 18% or approximately  2.23 million square feet of this space.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region and Pune contributed nearly 5.45 million square feet of office space, and 27% of that was by co-working players. Meanwhile, co-workers occupied 15% of the approximately 2.75 million square feet of office space in the National Capital Region.

According to Anuj Puri, Chairman of ANAROCK Group, one of the key factors driving demand is that co-working spaces are not centralized in urban centres or primary employment nuclei. Instead, they fan out across different areas, including the highly populated suburbs.

Additionally, some malls and hotels are providing co-working spaces now. With the concept becoming increasingly popular, we will likely see even more co-working spaces soon. Full story and statistics can be found here: India’s Co-Working Office Spaces Demand Surges 233% in H1 2022

What Exactly Is The Storefront Part In ECommerce?

Customers can buy and receive products entirely online through eCommerce, and this process is typically done through a company website, which includes items that customers can purchase. Most eCommerce stores feature pictures and product or service descriptions, pricing charts, a shopping cart function, payment processing technology, and contact information for the convenience of customers.

While the backend of your eCommerce site is essential for users and your business, the frontend—what customers see when they first visit your page—is vital.

What is the storefront in eCommerce?

The most significant aspect of your online business is the eCommerce storefront. The user interface is the face of your brand, and first impressions are crucial in whether or not a potential customer decides to do business with you.

Your online store’s user interface, or frontend UI, is its storefront. To meet the demands of today’s buyer who wants a personalized experience and ultimate ease of use, you need a responsive frontend UI.

The eCommerce storefront is the company’s virtual equivalent of a physical shop, and it is the business’s public face and the first point of contact for customers with the firm. The storefront should be as simple and easy to use as possible, with obvious purchase actions guiding the buyer through the buying process.

The key features of an effective eCommerce storefront

There are several key features that an effective eCommerce storefront should have:

  • Product descriptions and photos
  • Pricing information
  • A shopping cart function
  • Payment processing technology
  • Customer service contact form or information

In addition, you should design your storefront in a visually appealing way and easy to navigate. Customers should be able to find what they are looking for quickly and without difficulty.

An effective eCommerce storefront will result in more sales and satisfied customers. It is vital to invest time and resources into developing a well-designed storefront that meets the needs of your target market.

The benefits of having a storefront on your eCommerce website

Aesthetically pleasing – A well-designed storefront can make a good first impression on potential customers and convey the professionalism of your brand.

  • User-friendly: A user-friendly storefront is easy to navigate and use, which will help keep customers on your site longer.
  • Increases sales: An effective storefront can increase sales by providing customers with the information to purchase.
  • Generates leads: A storefront can also generate leads for your business by collecting contact information from interested customers.

Potential drawbacks of the eCommerce storefront?

There are a few potential drawbacks to building a storefront on your eCommerce website:

  • It can be time-consuming to set up and maintain.
  • It may require additional investment in terms of design and development costs.
  • It could potentially discourage customers if it is not well-designed or user-friendly.

The decision to use a storefront on your eCommerce website should be based on your specific business needs. It is worth considering if you feel that it would benefit your business.

When done correctly, a storefront can be a powerful tool for driving sales and generating leads. Considering the benefits and drawbacks is important before deciding if it is right for your business.

How to overcome any potential drawbacks when building your eCommerce storefront

Buidling a frontend, aka storefront, for your eCommerce store takes loads of development time and cost. It is calculated to take up to 8 months or more to create a unique and performant storefront.

But, what is the alternative to this challenge? With modern technologies and FEaaS solutions you can buy an out-of-the-box solution that has already created the base code your developers can expand on. These solutions, like Vue Storefront’s eCommerce storefront as an example, are highly customizable and performant. Your dev team can use their ready base code and simply expand on it, while focusing on customizing and personalizing user experiences.

Tapping into these high-code frontend solutions ensures that your eCommerce storefront is leveraging the latest and best technologies that are aimed at delivering superior CX. The financial advantages are noteworthy, with some store owners indicating that they saved up to USD500K by using an out-of-the-box solution.

Another factor to consider is that by using such a solution will cut down on your TTM (time to market), which gets your store live sooner and you can start earning revenue much faster than with a custom built frontend.

These are just some of the ways using an OOTB frontend solution can help your business overcome any potential challenges when building your eCommerce storefront.

What are some best practices when designing an eCommerce storefront?

Your eCommerce storefront or UI is the bread and butter of your online business, and it’s where all marketing campaigns ultimately lead, and first impressions matter–you have to make sure it’s on point.

Some best practices when designing an eCommerce storefront include:

  • Ensure it is responsive – A responsive design is essential for providing a good user experience on all devices.
  • Include high-quality product photos – Customers want to see what they are buying, so make sure to include clear and appealing photos of your products.
  • Excellent user experience is a must – The goal is to make the experience as smooth and easy as possible for the customer.
  • Web performance optimized for SEO – Make sure your site loads quickly and is optimized for search engine ranking.
  • Include customer testimonials – Customer reviews can help build trust and confidence in your products.
  • Ensure omnichannel possibilities – Customers should be able to purchase your products in-store, online, or through a mobile app.
  • High-quality mobile UX – Mobile commerce is growing rapidly, so it’s essential to have a well-designed mobile experience.
  • Engaging content –  Your content should be well-written and engaging to keep customers interested.

Conclusion

The storefront is an integral part of any eCommerce website, and it is the face of your business and can make a big impact on sales and leads. There are a few things to consider before adding a storefront to your site, such as the investment required and the potential drawbacks. However, a storefront can be a powerful tool for your business if done correctly. Following best practices will help you create an effective and appealing storefront.
