Magento Web Design & Development
With over two decades of experience developing eCommerce web projects, we’re well-versed in Magento web design for new site builds. Although we focus on creating beautiful designs for Magento, we also offer the development of similar custom eCommerce solutions tailored to your business needs. Our approach ensures that your website not only looks great but functions flawlessly, allowing you to reach your target audience and grow your sales.
Magento Website Development
For and Against
Magento is a popular eCommerce format, and we’re proud to have been part of their illustrious journey. However, although we can design for Magento builds, we no longer develop using this platform.
This might sound strange, but we’ve taken this decision to deliver the best possible service for our partners. Magento has lots of pros, but they’re not exactly unique to it, and this famous solution also comes with various downsides.
The Pros of Magento
- Artificial VersatilityYou can customise and evolve your offerings using deep learning algorithms.
- Advanced SEOAlthough it’s far from unique in this respect, Magento was designed with SEO in mind, making for a strong chance at high keyword rankings.
- Built in Upsells/Cross-sellsCTA prompts can be added to drive users to new products and accelerate sales.
- Mobile FriendlyLike most other popular platforms, Magento is responsive to any device requirements and accessibility services.
- A.I Powered PersonalisationAn artificial intelligence (AI) search tool for users proves highly beneficial for businesses and customers.
The Cons of Magento
- ExpensiveMagento is a massively expensive choice. A premium Magento license could cost you between $10-100k per year!
- Hard to MaintainUnusually, developers need certification to work on Magento, and you’ll have to source major technical expertise to set up, customise, and maintain it.
- ComplexFor SMEs, Magento is complex to the point of overkill, requiring a significant tech stack to build features on there.
- Resource-IntensiveWithout extensive optimisation, Magento’s server resources can result in slow performance, and installing multiple extensions may lead to stability issues.
- RestrictiveAlthough it’s customisable, it’s not user-friendly, and Magento’s theming is restrictive compared to lightweight platforms.
Magic Magento Web Design
Making Magento Work For You
Despite its undoubted prestige, we’ve typically found that Magento simply isn’t a well-suited solution for our partners. The license fee alone is normally enough to present an insurmountable barrier for them. However, we can still create Magento web designs if you’re sure that development on this platform is right for you.
We have an impressive portfolio of websites that we’ve designed and integrated for many types of clients. Our use of striking aesthetics, coupled with easy navigability and high performance, make for a streamlined user experience. This approach has generated millions of pounds in revenue for our partners’ businesses.
We’re familiar with Magento’s structure and layout, as well as its themes and built-in features, and this allows us to create responsive designs that adhere to excellent user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) principles. We’ll mastermind intuitive navigation and user flows, and leverage eCommerce best practices for enhanced layouts and functionalities. We’re passionate about accessibility within our designs, which means that you’ll receive product layouts that smooth out all obstacles to conversion, helping you to reach your potential.
American Golf
Featured case study
Europe’s No.1 golf retailer, with 101 stores in the UK and Republic of Ireland, asked us to help manage the delivery of a new website. In order to maximise sales, it had to be highly optimised for search engines and needed to deliver an intuitive user experience.
In order to maximise sales, it had to be highly optimised for search engines and needed to deliver an intuitive user experience. The new site adopted a light design to allow more content to be displayed, without impacting load times. It also enabled us to draw focus on key areas such as unique selling points, promotional items and cross-sell / up-sell opportunities. By integrating merchandising tools into their inventory, the site was able to behave in intelligent ways based on real world business rules. For example, it could be set up to push end of line products or related products based on users buying behaviour.
