Ecommerce website features every business needs
Not a checklist of bells — the features that move conversion, and the ones that exist only to fill a feature list.

Most storefront feature lists are written by people selling the features. After building the store you are looking at, here is the short list that actually earns its place.
The conversion features
- Predictive search across products, categories and content — not a filter box.
- Faceted filtering with sensible defaults and honest empty states.
- Editorial merchandising — featured placements, rails, and story-led discovery.
- Server-side price integrity: totals recomputed on the server, never trusted from the browser.
- A checkout that does not ask for anything it does not need.
The trust features
- Order tracking that shows real stages, not a fake courier logo.
- Shipping, returns and care pages written in plain language.
- Reviews with verification flags — never invented aggregates.
The invisible features
Canonical URLs, Open Graph metadata, JSON-LD structured data, semantic heading structure, image sizing, lazy loading and accessibility basics cost nothing in the build and compound forever. This demonstration implements every one of them — inspect any product page in this store to see them live.
