SEO

We needed a website with over 600 SKUs listed and available to order for free samples.

With minimal branding or online presence to build upon, Time Studios did a fantastic job of creating a slick, functional website that’s cohesive and provides a great UX. It’s wonderfully simple to update and maintain which is exactly what we asked for. Delivered on time and within budget too!

Key Features and Functionalities

1. Sample Ordering System
We implemented a user-friendly sample ordering system that allows customers to order product samples. Shipping fees are calculated based on the number of samples ordered and processed through the Stripe Payment Gateway. This feature ensures a smooth and secure transaction process for customers.

2. Stripe Payment Gateway Integration
To handle shipping fees, we integrated the Stripe Payment Gateway. This allows for secure and efficient processing of payments based on the number of samples ordered, enhancing the overall customer experience.

3. WCAG 3.0 Compliance
Ensuring accessibility was a top priority. The website was developed in compliance with WCAG 3.0 standards, incorporating features like text scaling, high contrast modes, and screen reader compatibility. These measures ensure that the website is accessible to users with various disabilities, providing an inclusive digital experience.

4. Document Library
We created a comprehensive document library that offers easy access to a wide range of resources, including brochures, installation instructions, technical documents, and certifications. This centralised repository is designed to help users quickly find and download the information they need.

5. Product Showcase Gallery
We developed a gallery showcasing Castlewood Floors’ product range, enabling easy sample ordering directly from the gallery. This visually engaging feature helps customers explore the product offerings and make informed decisions.

6. Abandoned Cart Functionality
To reduce cart abandonment rates, we implemented an abandoned cart functionality. This feature sends automated reminders to users who leave items in their cart without completing the purchase, encouraging them to return and finalise their order. This functionality has proven effective in recovering potential lost sales and boosting overall conversion rates.

Results and Feedback

The new Castlewood Floors website has been very well received by both customers and stakeholders. The advanced functionalities and improved user experience have led to an immediate increase in customer engagement and satisfaction. The document library and product showcase gallery have particularly stood out, driving more traffic and conversions.
