Why did you choose Tradingeye as your ecommerce platform?
Tradingeye was recommended to us by a creative design and developer we approached called Lunaria. We wanted Redblugraphics.co.uk to be a site we could manage ourselves once it was live and to be search engine friendly. The usability of Tradingeye impressed me right from the start and the online demos were very helpful, setting it apart from the competition. Also being based in Newcastle it made us feel very comfortable dealing with a company based locally.
Could you please let us know about your project?
I spent months researching the best system to use and decided to run with Lunaria. The team there were fantastically helpful, David Eccles was forever answering queries at stupid o’clock which suited me well being busy running the business during the day. From initial design it was just a matter of working out the departments and best practise for describing the products.
The most time consuming part was adding products into Tradingeye so the designers could work the visuals around the dynamic format of the website.
Although we decided we did not want to put the payment gateway in at the start I am sure we be adding this function in the near future.
Wordpress was also added for blogging and news.
Do you have any future plans for the site?
We’ll be adding many new products, we will tailor the content and add departments based upon google analytics data and comments from users.
Do you have anything else you would like to share?
First class system and we are delighted with the project. I can’t thank Lunaria enough for their customer service which is “above and beyond” and the value they offer is fantastic. I highly recommend Tradingeye to others. There are a few small things that could be improved, an integrated fully functioning emarketing package like constant contact, a way to automatically globally add products into a department with price but I am sure Wlad and his team will be working on these in the future!
