We needed blinds for our new office, but local stores didn't have the necessary sizes, and we didn't have the time to locate and visit a specialty store. This, it seemed, was what the Internet was meant for, so we turned to the search engines with the goal of buying our blinds online.
After a period of searching we we were almost ready to give up in frustration. The first series of websites we found did no justice to their businesses or the products they sold. Sparse and lacking adequate pictures or a complete sales process, the sites we found were little more than incomplete brochures.
When we landed at NorthernBlinds.com, we realized immediately that this site was different. In an instant we absorbed two things: the site was very nicely designed, and equally important, we could actually buy blinds online.
What makes NorthernBlinds.com one of our best Topsite selections to date is that this company has done a really good job of implementing an e-commerce website from end-to-end. The design is strong, the site is easy to use, and the shopping experience is complete.
Furthermore, the company delivers the information needed to inspire confidence in the online shopping experience, with privacy, shipping, warranty, and return policies clearly explained on the website. Most importantly, from the consumer perspective, this site offers a decent selection of good quality products at competitive prices – they even offer free shipping in Canada for blinds less than 96" in width or height.
If you are wondering how you can implement an e-commerce website or improve an existing site, be sure to take a close look at NorthernBlinds.com, where the best-practices are plentiful.
