Web, Full Site | River City Graphic Supply | rivercitygraphicsupply.com »
River City Graphic Supply's original e-commerce site was built on an open-source platform with limited security support and an inflexible templating system.
Migrating their data from the old system to ExpressionEngine with the CartThrob e-commerce framework, we transformed the basic template design to a fully custom online store. Utilizing ExpressionEngines member system, all customers can create an account saving their billing and shipping information for future purchases, displays their order history with the ability to reorder with a single click. CartThrob offers native reporting for purchases and inventory with automated email notifications for authorized purchases and when their order has been shipped.
Launch date: Feb 19, 2014
One year after the complete site redesign, we took analytic metrics to see the progress. An increase in pageviews and a decrease in the overall bounce rate had a direct relation to an overall increase in brand recognition and online product sales.
