Magento eCommerce

Magento is the eCommerce website platform that is taking the retail world by storm.

Orchid is one of only a small handful of highly experienced Magento providers. Our resident Magento guru Dane has been creating custom Magento sites since 2008 when Magento was first launched.

Magento offers you unparalleled control of every facet of your store, from merchandising to promotions and so much more.

Before launching Orchid Web Design, as an employee of Exceed Online (see previous employment), Dane worked on the Magento sites for many popular retailers, such as EcoStore and Radius Pharmacy.

Who uses Magento?

A long list of globally well-known brands all use Magento, including 3M, Samsung and HoMedics.

Scroll down to get some design and functionality inspiration from more unique Magento sites from all around the globe, including Zimmermann, Stussy and MGM Studios, that show off the amazing flexibility on offer when you choose Magento.

Beat this!

Magento offers a long list of phenomenal features. Check out just some of them below:

Multiple Sites, One Admin

You can run multiple websites from one admin, allowing you to create highly targeted niche microsites or a different look and feel for your different brands, yet saving you valuable time and resources by controlling all your sites and order fulfilment from one admin.

This also saves your budget if you need 2 or more websites now, or in the future, but don't want to pay twice or start from scratch!

Traffic Generation & Conversion

Google Magento

The SEO friendly features, and ability to create a highly intuitive user experience for  your customers, means we can utilise Magento to attract more qualified customers for you and boost your ability to convert more visitors into paying customers.

Upsell & Cross Sell

You can take advantage of upsell and cross-sell, showing related products to your customers as they shop (even in checkout!).

Checkout

Speaking of checkout, to help avoid the high abandon rate common with a lot of labour intensive checkouts, Magento offers your customers a one page checkout process and the ability to check out as a guest.

Pricing Rules, Discounts and Coupons

You can pick from a range of flexible pricing rules, discounts and coupons (such as free shipping | percent discount | fixed amount discount | buy x get y free | buy x get a percent discount off y | buy x get free shipping and more).

How about multi-tier pricing for quantity purchases and customer-group specific pricing?

Not excited enough yet? What about catalogue promotional pricing with the ability to restrict discounts to chosen stores, categories or product types?

We could go on and on about the impressive Magento features, such as Wishlist, New Items Automatic Promotion, Send to a Friend, Item Compare and Bundled Products, but you're probably getting the idea by now.

Magento essentially gives retailers the ultimate level of flexibility in how you run your online store, yet without the scary price tag that this functionality normally demands.

Here are a few more global and local brands who have also chosen Magento for their website platform:

Stussy (fashion)		MGM Studios (media)
Zadig and Voltaire (fashion)		Olive & Myrtle (homeware)
Jones Soda (beverages)		Mini Republic (fashion & toys - kids)
Hair Flix (hair & beauty)		HoMedics (home & health)

Don't let these gorgeous sites with their phenomenal features and functionality put you off.

You'll be surprised how affordable we can make Magento for you. This is partly due to our high level of experience with Magento and partly because of who we are.
