Magento ecommerce: Why our developers & designers love it!

Friday, August 27th, 2010

In today’s world, it is becoming apparent that ecommerce is simply more popular than traditional shopping for many products and services.  People around the world have fully adopted the notion of making purchases online, and most companies have learned that offering ecommerce is a great way to boost business.

IMRG / Capgemini, predict that the e-commerce market in the UK will grow by 110% over the next decade, reaching £123bn by 2020.

If you are looking to add online shopping to your website, we believe Magento ecommerce is by far the most comprehensive and successful platform available.  There’s an open source community edition that packs so much punch Rocky’s knees would tremble. Feelingpeaky love Magento ecommerce as it is so flexible and is something that can be truly tailored to meet all of your online business needs.

5 reasons why our Magento designers and Magento developers love it!

1. Because Magento is fully modular the layout, structure and content can be fully themed to meet your needs.

2. It accommodates a whole plethora of client needs out of the box and can be set up and adapted to meet your specific trading needs.

3. Wow – a massive community around the ecommerce platform that is supportive and growing – providing a large and diverse range of add on modules to extend the functionality even further.

4. The platform offers comprehensive features for marketing, analytics, SEO, and more. It offers you the ability to really make your site your own, adding a catalog of products, the ability to include multiple images for each product, and even the ability to provide your customers with mobile shopping options.

5. Did we mention that it has a community version – open source ie. Free for us (and therefore you) to use as we please, customise and develop. Therefore, all your budget goes into the design and development of your ecommerce site, without big chunks of money passing over to software vendors.

Finding a Magento designer

By working hand in hand with a talented Magento partner (that would be us – here at Feelingpeaky) who understands your company goals, you can get an affordable ecommerce website that really sets your company up for growth online.

A strong online presence and a great site developed with the Magento ecommerce platform can help your company move well beyond your normal group of customers and can bring you business from around the country or around the world.

E-commerce web site design with Magento

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Magento is now the leading open source e-commerce platform. It allows you to develop fully featured and effective e-commerce stores at a fraction of the price a ground up bespoke development would cost. It has a massive community and is developing fast with a whole raft of add on modules. Magento is now Feelingpeaky’s preferred e-commerce platform and we’ll look to specialise further on this platform over the coming years.

Here is an example of a Magento e-commerce web site design for The Powderpuff Girls. They sell beauty cosmetics from their location in London.

Visit the site to see some of the Magento functionality. Although it must be said on this design we tried to keep things clean, minimal and stylish so not all of the features are in use.

Christmas Crackers in August

Friday, August 10th, 2007

Novelties Galore specialise in Party Supplies, in fact wholesale party supplies to be more precise. They supply novelties and other party accessories to businesses and individuals looking to have a great party.

Feelingpeaky created this e-commerce site for Novelties Galore a couple of years ago and since then the client’s business has gone from strength to strength. Whilst the site would have worked fine as it was I think the key reason why business has grown is the client’s commitment to improvements and marketing over the long term. That’s why we are talking Christmas Crackers in August!

But it’s hot outside…

I know it’s summer and feels way too early to be thinking about Christmas however, Novelties Galore is one of the largest distributors of Christmas crackers in the country and therefore we need to plan ahead to make the most of the season when it arrives. There are a number of keys to good search engine listings – the primary one being good content. With this in mind we prepared some interesting facts about Christmas crackers, some fun Christmas cracker jokes, and introduction to how to make your own Christmas crackers. The next step will be to starting building quality links into this page with the final aim to get it to page 1 in Google by the autumn. We are already there for our primary keyword phrase of ‘wholesale chistmas crackers‘ but we feel there could be a big boost in sales by improving listings on the more generic term ‘Christmas Crackers‘.

I’ll look to report back on year on year performance later in the year.
