The new website offers a simple and quick to access navigation, directing customers to such categories as London Scenes, Photography, Animals and Birds, Christmas Themed, Light-hearted, New Year and more. Once the design is chosen, customers can order cards with 3 simple steps: 1) Pick your chosen charity, quantity of cards, and type of print; 2) Select the greeting; 3) Personalise the inside of your card.

Company logos can then be uploaded for a fully customised effect. The process is quick, effective and highly professional, saving businesses time and money with the greeting card ordering process. Magento was the perfect tool in allowing us to create the unique features the Admiral Charity Card project required.

When customers have finished creating their card, a PDF preview is automatically generated to allow customers to see the entire inside of the card, including their logo and greeting. They can then customise text, upload signatures, and change fonts and font colours if desired. The price on the form is then calculated dynamically based on the user’s selection. Once confirmed this PDF is verified and submitted for print automatically by the system.

A host of other additional features, including highly customised views that take advantage of Magento’s layout and template system, made this one the of most challenging and rewarding Magento development projects we’ve encountered.

The mailout formed part of the massive launch campaign for this eagerly awaited title, that sees bad boy Duke Nukem back in action, and this time he’s just a little bit badder than ever.

The mailout featured a load of DN goodies, including links to the Duke’s Hall of Hotness – that lets users upload pictures of themselves so they can be rated hot, or most certainly not, by the general Duke loving public.

The sauciness doesn’t stop there. You can also click-through to the Duke Nukem Striptease Shootout, where you can enjoy a little bit of scantily clad shooting action. Of cause if you lose you’ll be taking your clothes off. Be warned/excited.

Or if you’re not really in the mood for all that debauchery (you might have a headache) but you’d still like a bit of alien action, click-through to the Alien Autopsy Video where you’ll be shocked, mesmerised, disgusted, exhilarated and little a bit turned on…to the prospect of pre-ordering the latest in this popular bad boy, shoot-em-up series for the PC direct from 2K Games.

StephenArnold.co.uk currently uses a custom CMS for all administrative duties. Our mission is to expand the current functionality to allow the company, which has outgrown the current website, to take more control over their ecommerce operations.

With its reward points system, gift certificate capabilities, strong data encryption, and customer store credit functionality, the Magento Professional ecommerce system is the perfect solution.

Big enough to handle the client’s needs but economic enough not to warrant a large annual fee, Magento Professional is an excellent all-round open-source package.

Magento Professional is for businesses working with an official Magento Solution partner (The Pixel) requiring a warranted product and additional revenue-generating features that are not found in Magento Community.

Magento’s powerful marketing, search engine optimisation and catalogue-management tools gives us the power to create an ecommerce website that offers our clients flexibility and control over the look, content and functionality.

We’re in the process of styling and creating Stephen Arnold Ltd a new website theme and identity to rejuvenate their brand and relaunch their online presence using Magento Professional.

Suave and sophisticated, the new design theme for StephenArnold.co.uk is set to capitalise on the fantastically feature rich Magento ecommerce system, and The Pixel’s own unique brand of stylised web design.

We’ve re-launched the Fun4Kids website with a brand new design, navigation and administration system to help accommodate the ever increasing sales demand from the buying public. We’ve taken the branding of the last website and created a brand new design to complement and expand upon that success.

The new website features a new blue and red colour scheme, featuring playful outdoor graphics such as clouds, kites and stars and a whole new host of promotional features and sections to grab users’ attention.

Included are 3 featured products from each of the main categories so customers can get a highlighted glimpse of the best Fun4Kids has to offer.

Also included is a brand new ‘Top Brands’ section that links to Fun4Kids’ most successful and favourite manufacturers such as Razor and Cortez, so customers can view their full range of products.

One of the most significant additions to the site is the introduction of a rewards point system. Customers will now be able to collect reward points every time they make a purchase, leave a review, or sign-up for the newsletter.

The number of points rewarded depends on the amount of money spent or the action taken. Customers will be able to use their reward points to obtain discounts on further purchases – rewarding frequent users and returning customers.

A brand new buying guide section has also been included, covering Scooters, Trampolines, Bicycles, Ride-ons and Bouncy Castles. The guides include handy information about Fun4Kids’ various products to aid in their decision making.

These guides are accessible everywhere, including on the product pages where they appear as pop-up windows so users needn’t surf away from the product they are currently viewing.

The new navigation menu on Fun4Kids has been divided into 6 umbrella categories:  Home, Bikes & Ride-ons, Garden & Sport, Scooters, Accessories & Spares and Special Offers. This new system is designed to help make the menu more concise, faster to navigate and more relevant to the user.

Fun4Kids is now using the Magento Enterprise Edition online ecommerce system. Previously they were using Magento Community Edition – a free to use, open source system that handles orders, stock, content management and more.

The success of this platform has led to Fun4Kids requesting an upgrade to the Magento Enterprise Edition, which offers greater depth of customisation and a whole new host of features that will help expand their potential for growth.

The Magento Enterprise Edition has enabled Fun4Kids to utilise the following facilities: Reward Points System – points are awarded based on a wide range of transactions and customer actions to enhance user experience and increase customer loyalty; Highly Tuned Page Performance – new performance optimisations with full page caching significantly reduces page load times to increase conversions.

These are just 2 of the features now available to Fun4Kids via the Magento Enterprise Edition, and there are countless other features we will no doubt be implementing in the future to further aid their progress.

So there we have it, the measures The Pixel think we help turn one very successful website into an even more successful website with the facilities to expand long into the future. Have a look at the current leading outdoor toy website Fun4Kids and let us know what you think – we’re always keen to hear of anyway we can improve what we do.
