Long time clients, Simply for Strings recently asked us to update their website and take it to the next level. Whilst they still loved their old website design they felt it could work harder for them and wanted to add in more features and offer more to their clients. At Shell Graphix we always like to improve on what clients currently have in place and we love nothing better than improving on our own designs. It is a particularly good way of demonstrating our continual growth.
Here is what the old site looked like:
Initially we planned to revise the overall website design concept, include extra client-based features including a blog, tips and advice area, location maps and easier e-newsletter subscription. We built new templates and forms to carry the unmistakable Simply for Strings style to an entirely new level. We were on the verge of loading the new website live when there was a last minute decision to switch platforms for their entire online shop. A shop with in excess of 8,000 product lines. We recommended the merge from Ecommerce which is a rather outdated platform with restricted options, tricky back end and limited skinning styles to Magento which is more reliable, user friendly and customisable. In two weeks we had merged the stores, designed the new front end and updated the options and settings within ready to load up alongside the new website.
Within several hours of loading the new website Simply for Strings had many phone calls and online orders in response which we think is a wonderful result!
