What we did

STEP 1

Migration to Magento 2 Community Edition

To migrate Mount-It to Magento 2 platform we needed to import all the data including sales statistics for each product and all information about users. Besides, we moved the website to Amazon web servers and implemented a great number of custom features.

STEP 2

Migration to Amazon Web Services

AWS allows companies to effortlessly expand into new markets. This was just what Mount-It needed. We helped the company migrate to Amazon servers and implemented all necessary security measures to protect the website from possible attacks.

STEP 3

A secure environment

The Mount-It website has been hacked before, so security was one of the biggest priorities for the company. Without proper security measures, they risked damaging their reputation, losing merchandise, and receiving lawsuits. The second version of Magento has improved security, but it doesn’t eliminate all possible risks. For a fully secure environment, Mount-It needed to implement proper security measures.

STEP 4

Search module development

We created a custom Mount Finder functionality that looks the guesswork out of finding compatible mounts. With this module, customers can choose the brand and model of their device, and the website will display a list of compatible mounts available. Customers can also try an advanced search to specify their device’s width, height, and weight to find a fitting mount.

STEP 5

Third-party integrations

Mailchimp
Wisepops
Amazon Pay
LiveChat

Key technologies

Our work helped Mount-It double conversion rates

We delivered a fully equipped sales instrument for a very specific type of product. The upgraded Mount-It ecommerce website became faster, more secure, and more convinient for international customers. Even though wall mounts are not comfortable buying online, with the custom Mount Finder module, advanced search functionality, and “Compare” feature, we created a great tool that makes it easy for people to choose a needed wall mount fast and easily. The website started working like clockwork, selling twice as mush as before.
