Magento E commerce
From the beginning to the end, we work with our clients on every step of the project with a focus on clear communication and understanding. Read below for more information on the process behind our workflow.
Discovery
Every successful project starts from a solid foundation.
Design
We'll work closely with you to create a series of wireframes and designs.
Development
An iterative process that brings ideas to reality, without delays.
Integration
A new setup still needs to work seamlessly with your existing systems.
Discovery
Every successful project starts from a solid foundation.
We commence with a thorough investigation to understand your current business setup and the requirements needed to expand and fully realise your ambitions. During this initial phase a Project Manager will work closely with you to ensure a strong partnership is established, one that results in a clear understanding of what’s required for both parties.
As an expert in providing ecommerce solutions we understand that the entire package involves more then just the development and integration of Magento. At this stage we shall highlight additional services provided by the various partners that we work with. By enlisting the services of The Pixel we shall oversee and manage all of this throughout the project’s duration and beyond.
The Discovery phase is split into a number of stages:
Feasibility Report
We begin with a comprehensive study, analysing your business in terms of traffic and transactions to ensure Magento Enterprise is the correct platform for your needs.
Design
We’ll work closely with you to create a series of wireframes that outline the overall functionality and user experience of the site.
Integration Assessment
There are a variety of scenarios you need to consider when planning this type of integration. We’ll analyse your current business setup to ensure the seamless integration with Magento into existing systems.
Custom Functionality
If you require any features that aren’t provided by Magento out-of-the-box, we’ll identify this and either create a solution or offer suggestions of third-party modules that can provide the functionality.
Code Review
If you have an existing Magento framework that isn’t working we will undertake a comprehensive examination of your setup and produce recommendations on what is required to increase its efficiency.
Hosting Solution
Instead of outsourcing your hosting we provide our own tailored system, designed specifically around the requirements of Magento. During this stage we shall identify your current traffic/transactions to provide a hosting solution that will meet your needs and sustain further growth ambitions.
Style
We will work with you to create a style.
Our designers will work on stable, full internationalization of the E-commerce temperament design style. We have in-depth study of color, line spacing, visual association and consumer psychology.
project manager will coordinate designers may experience conflict between a customer's personal will and business wills.
Development
An iterative process that brings ideas to reality.
We’ve worked with Magento since the start and have built up a comprehensive understanding of the framework. By working with The Pixel you can be guaranteed the timely delivery of a robust, scalable and elegant solution to fit your requirements.
Our development process is based upon tried and trusted industry standards to ensure the project advances smoothly. We follow the Agile Software Development methodology, where requirements and solutions evolve through close collaboration and encourages fast and flexible responses to change. The process ensures a clear and transparent understanding of the project’s workflow, and highlights any practical issues at an early stage to ensure these are handled without affecting the project’s timeline and budget.
Every project is split into distinct milestones. Daily “Scrum” meetings ensure the entire team is up to speed with the current progress, with tasks assigned to bi-weekly ”Sprints”. At the end of each Sprint an evaluation is conducted to ensure progress is maintained, before outlining tasks for the next period.We use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions along with employing an iterative code deployment system to ensure you have full control over every aspect before it is finalised.
Integrations
A new setup still needs to work seamlessly with your existing systems.
Ensuring Magento fits seamlessly into your existing transactional system is a crucial component of a successful ecommerce solution. Not only will your customers receive a swifter service, but you’re also able to push wider profit margins through a more streamlined chain of sales and stock management.
To accomplish this we have built a powerful and flexible framework that integrates into a wide range of third-party ERP, CRM and payment gateway systems. We have successfully integrated our framework into setups including SAGE 50/200, Access, NaVision and 3EX, so you can be confident that we have extensive knowledge of what is a complicated yet essential aspect of your ecommerce solution.
