We are very excited to have finally launched our new website design after almost a full year in development! You’ll see things are looking pretty spiffy around here and it’s all been completely re-coded from the ground up.
Around last Christmas we took the decision to re-design our entire website. Admittedly, I was a little concerned because we are only a small company and I knew what a large undertaking it would be. To completely re-design, re-create, and move everything and everyone over to a new design with a mobile possibility and not only the opportunity to order from the site but also for customers to log in with all access to prices etc. This is certainly something that was a huge learning experience, for sure. And it has helped us grow not only as business owners, but also learning about I T that is a completely new universe for me.
A few of our goals with the new website were to make it faster, easier to navigate for users, and easier for us to manage/update. Most of all, we wanted to help our clients get to know us better. If you take a gander around the site I think you’ll get a pretty good idea of who we are and what we do as a company. Orlando took care of the design and everything you see here. We thank him very much for his handiwork.
The bulk of what makes this version so great is its foundation – which consists of two main parts. The first is the two environments, one for Wholesale customers and the other for the Promotional Trade. It handles everything from the cart, to the checkout, to the engraving quotation request, to the uploading of the artwork, – which we think you will appreciate very much!
The second part would be to make the site user friendly on mobile devices, as this is an essential step every company nowadays must take and it is a challenge because it is not easy for companies of our size to keep up with technology chances at all times. I am really thankful to have been a part of such an awesome team and the results we have achieved.
I also want to highlight some of the harder parts about doing this re-launch. Probably the hardest was trying to keep all the jobs I am doing consistently and at the same time to think on a everything our customers would like to see and do on the site. It can also feel like it is taking a very long time to complete – almost like it may never happen. If you’re in the middle of a project like that, I would say keep going even when you feel like you’ll never finish, because if you stop – well that’s the only way you won’t finish. Haha. Eventually if you keep working hard when you can find the time, it does come to a point where you feel like you’re ready to launch. And it’s a pretty good feeling that gets better knowing we’ll be able to help more people get their own projects off the ground.
As always, if you have any questions or need help you can contact us at sales@stgiftsltd.co.uk .
