When we build a website with a shopping cart and place product pictures on the site, many people don’t realize that images will appear exactly as they are provided to us. While we can resize pictures to meet specific criteria and create a uniform look across the shopping cart, this requires extra time and effort.
To ensure your product images look professional and consistent, we recommend using Adobe Lightroom. With Lightroom, you can upload all your images in one batch and resize them with just a few clicks. Beyond resizing, Lightroom helps optimize image quality, adjust lighting, and apply uniform edits, enhancing the overall appearance of your product photos.
✔ Use Consistent Dimensions – Ensure all product images have the same width and height for a cohesive and professional shopping cart layout.
✔ Optimize for Web Performance – Save images in web-friendly formats like JPEG, PNG, or WebP and compress them to improve website speed without sacrificing quality.
✔ Maintain High Quality – Avoid excessive compression that can lead to blurry or pixelated images. Crisp, clear images build trust and increase conversions.
✔ Use Descriptive Filenames – Rename images using relevant keywords (e.g., “red-running-shoes.jpg”) to improve SEO and search rankings.
✔ Add Alt Text – Include keyword-rich alt text for each image to enhance search engine visibility and improve website accessibility for visually impaired users.

By preparing your images in advance and following these best practices, you can create a visually appealing, professional, and high-performing online store while reducing development time and costs.
It’s hard to understand how a simple picture taken with a smart device and a professional-quality photo can make such a huge difference. But the fact is, the better the picture quality, the better your website will look. When it comes to websites, it’s all about presentation.
For a simple example, here are two websites we have made for clients—showing exactly why hiring a professional photographer can make a world of difference.
When building a shopping cart for a website, we always suggest hiring a professional photographer to ensure your products are showcased in the best possible way. However, we understand that some businesses are just getting started and may not have the budget for high-end photography. That’s why we invite you to check out our affordable photography plans. We offer packages for every budget, and financing is available to help you get the high-quality images your business deserves.
It’s crucial to do your due diligence when setting price points for your shopping cart. One of the best ways to determine competitive pricing is by researching your major competitors.
A simple way to do this is to perform a search on any major search engine. However, when conducting research, it’s important to use specific search terms rather than broad ones. For example, instead of searching for “toys” or “stuffed animals,” add a location-specific keyword to find businesses that operate in your area.
For instance, if you are looking for a web design company in Las Vegas, you would search for “web design Las Vegas” or “website design Las Vegas” rather than just “web design.” This ensures that local search results are prioritized over national competitors, giving you a more accurate idea of your direct competition.
One of the most important aspects of setting up your shopping cart is branding. From your logo and product images to your website design and marketing materials, keeping a consistent and recognizable brand is essential.
A well-branded business stands out in the marketplace. As your brand grows, potential customers will begin to recognize and trust your company, making them more likely to choose your products or services over competitors. Brand recognition builds credibility and loyalty, which can drive long-term success for your business.
