Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:50:00 +0000

Our eCommerce portfolio's just been enhanced by yet another project. The order to design a web shop came from a hard-core Australian sports fan (primarily rugby football). The customer wanted an efficient feature-rich solution to sell online all types of sports-related accessories and souvenirs, with product branding according to a particular team.

Setting up a Magento web store is a piece of cake for the guys at Holbi. So a nice smart-looking online shop was designed and yet another happy customer was made. Not only did we create a professional eCommerce design to convert visitors into buyers, but we also linked the web store with eBay. The solution integrates your eBay account with Magento ensuring a full synchronisation of stock levels, orders, prices, etc. Choosing to sell through multiple channels is the best way to establish a successful eCommerce business these days and most modern online merchants understand that. We wish our Australian customer - www.onelittlefootyfan.com.au/ to stay always ahead of their competition, getting the most out of its multiple selling channels.

Mathmos Get Their Store Synchronised with Sage 50

Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:45:00 +0000

Mathmos is a British company known worldwide for its range of award winning ambient lights, also known as lava lamps. Founded back in the early 1960s, the company's been making millions of people happy to both give and own Mathmos products ever since. Headquartered in Poole, Dorset, the enterprise has a busy operation with a huge order flow, selling its novelty items via an online store to customers across the world. It comes, therefore, as no surprise, that at some point the management at Mathmos decided to employ an accounting system to keep record of all its operations in the most convenient and time-saving manner.

Although having a platform that takes care of business needs such as finances, suppliers and orders is a great benefit, you are still hindered by having to manually transfer data between your online shop and accounting software. This was the case with the guys from Mathmos, who decided to find a way to link their shopping cart with Sage 50.

A perfect solution was found in the portfolio of eCommerce experts at Holbi, who did a great job synchronising the two systems. Now that their shopping cart (X-Cart) works in sync with Sage 50, they manage their accounts, orders, invoices, etc. in a much more efficient manner while having more time to concentrate on growing their business.

Baku Australia

Baku is one of Australia's leading swimwear brands. Behind it are Dax and Tamara Bykerk, a brother-sister design duo, whose vision and hard work have earned their enterprise a reputation of the best-selling swimwear brand in Australia. The Holbi team has done a great job designing a new promo web site for the brand's 2011 swimwear collection - www.bakuaustralia.com.au

Being an incredibly design-savvy customer, Baku Australia were very thorough and specific regarding the site's design. Holbi's design team took up the challenge and performed the task with flying colours. The look and feel of the site now truly reflect the brand's sophistication coupled with elegance and simplicity – the attributes that have always inspired brand-new designs in the mind of a contemporary artist.

The Baku collection has had a huge success in Australia and now it is being largely exported across the world, including New Zealand, USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands, Hong Kong and Thailand. While the Baku collection is already attracting lots of beach fashionistas, another sexy portfolio of stylish swimwear pieces, aka the 2012 Ginja collection, is waiting to be nested on its own web site, currently under development in Holbi Labs.

PrimRose Accessory, Brand-New Web Shop in US

Wed, 03 Oct 2012 11:45:00 +0100

Being a British company, we are always happy to share our expertise and the best eCommerce practices with the rest of the world. Such was the case with one of our American long-term customers – www.primroseaccessory.com. Based in Texas, USA, they operate five stores in different cities selling fashionable accessories, handbags and jewellery. Unlike most enterprises today that import their products from abroad, Primrose are manufacturing their products in the US, which certainly gives them a commercial edge. We know it because the guys from Primrose have been working with us for over 10 years now on a variety of Ecommerce projects. In an understandable effort to bring their business online, the Primrose stakeholders turned to Holbi to provide them with an eCommerce solution that would be a feature-rich online store which meets their current business needs while leaving enough room for further development and growth. The result of our collaboration was an online shop that works fast, looks great and is very good at converting site visitors into buyers. Although, their product catalogue is still being updated, the online store is already attracting a lot of customers. Coming soon is our next project with Primrose which will involve Social and Search engine marketing.

One of the UK's most popular online retailers of shisha pipes, flavours and other smoking paraphernalia, www.theshishashop.com is a long-term customer of ours. It was not until recently that they decided to launch a mobile version of their web site and asked the guys from Holbi to help them tap into M-commerce. Our markup engineers came up with a perfect solution optimising the web shop to do its best on mobile devices such as iPhone or iPad.

All major pages including Home page, Product page, Shopping Cart and Checkout pages, etc. underwent optimisation to be compatible with mobile. As a result, it didn't take long for the Shisha Shop to see a general increase in the number of orders for their products. The reason is very simple: the mobile version of the site provided a much better browsing experience which resulted in more conversions and increased profits.
