Project Detail

Having previously worked with Main Source, Centurius were asked to redevelop & upgrade their ecommerce web site from their existing version 9 software to the current version of the Actinic Business Ecommerce (V11).

From a telephone conference with the client and based on design visuals created by a freelance designer, Centurius were given a recommendations list of what the client would like to see functionality-wise within the site, such as a JQuery advertisement slider, a quick shop brand link, plus an advanced multi-string drop down search facility which takes the customer to a bespoke multi-column search results page. Additional social media plugins were also requested to be implemented across the site as well as within each main product template.

Regarding the design layout of the site, an increase in width to accommodate for more product real estate was essential. A new mega menu system (standard with V11) was also introduced within the template replacing the existing left hand navigation layout. This allowed a restructure of the site to be achieved allowing Main Source’s online catalogue to be restructured into five top level sections. Core elements from the first generation site were still required to remain within the new build such as the top trump card section link layout. Customised variables were also created to allow the client to pull in large brand logos, supporting images into specific sections. As well as this search variables were also introduced allowing customers to pull in a specific product lists dependent on Brand, Product Type and Size.

A number of external plugins were integrated into the site to entice the customer into purchasing products, such as an automatic zoom magnifier which displays the quality footwear they have on offer.

Site Update

It has been two year since Centurius carried out the work for Main Source. Recently they have relaunched their site converting their site from Sellerdeck to the Magento Ecommerce platform.
