Featured Ecommerce Case Study
Sigma Sport - ecommerce
Sigma are a leader in the pack of cycle retailers throughout Europe and the UK. With their ecommerce website and professional racing team they have a wide reach so distribute globally as well as being a Specialized Store partner. Because of this partnership with Specialized they wanted a website to reflect both their own branding and some design elements from Specialized's own style guidelines.
They also wanted an ecommerce web solution that would enable them to update content frequently as well as being able to create new landing pages for product offers and news events. We introduced them to our CMS (Content Management System) and worked closely with their new marketing team to create a range of page templates that would enable them to react quickly and consistently to the every day challenges of running an ecommerce business.
