C2CLights.com – Ecommerce Website Design – WordPress/WooCommerce Development by AfterDarkGrafx.com July 28, 2023at 22:53 pm By: James Byrne After Dark Grafx After Dark Grafx is pleased to announce the launch of c2clights.com. Thank you for choosing After Dark Grafx to design and custom develop an eCommerce solution built into WooCommerce for your business success. Coast 2 Coast Lighting Co was in need of a new online brand identity and decided that it was time to move away from their current platform. They were interested in Migrating from Miva Merchant to WooCommerce. At first, they did not know which platform to choose for the migration. There are many platforms to choose from including but not limited to; Shopify, BigCommerce, X-Cart and more. After several discussions and consultations on the needed functionality of their new site and what their old website was lacking, we chose WordPress/WooCommerce for this implementation. WooCommerce allowed for easy migration of data from Miva to WooCommerce to include products, customers, previous orders and other pertinent data. And flexible enough to implement custom code to perform tasks that the prior system was either to costly or unable to do. With the addition of some free and paid plugins along with the excellent web development skills of After Dark Grafx, we were able to achieve all of their requests and then some. It is important not to attempt a Migration away from Miva merchant to other platforms before speaking to a professional WooCommerce Expert who is also a Miva Expert, Shopify Expert, Big Commerce Expert, Payment Processing Expert and has your ultimate goal in mind. Like AfterDarkGrafx.com. There are many pros and cons to each eCommerce platform so it is best to use the one that is best suited for your business needs. Some questions you may ask a designer/developer before migrating eCommerce platforms: a) Will you be able to easily update the products, categories, images b) Wi ll you be able to update the actual pages of the website c) Will your data migrate over and will you lose any data d) Will your customers be able to login to the new platform? If so, what is the process? e) Wil l the new eCommerce platform hook into my current BOOKS program, CRM Program or other software you may have used with the previous vendor. f) Will my payment processor work with the new platform? If not, do they offer their own processing? g) What other payment types can I add? (ie: Paypal, Stripe, Authorize Net, Apple Pay and more.) h) How much downtime will I have for my website? i) What about email? These are just a few of the many questions you should ask before migrating. If you are also in need of a newwebsite design or redesign, eCommerce, search engine optimization (SEO) or other service or assistance, please contact us. After completing this website, we created several videos to help C2CLights understand How To Edit their Website, Process Orders, Manage Products, Manage Search Features, etc. Please visit them today at:https://www.c2clights.com and tell them James from After Dark Grafx sent you!

Worldwide Performance Parts – New Design & Migration from Magento 1.9 to WooCommerce April 14, 2021at 22:38 pm By: James Byrne After Dark Grafx After Dark Grafx announces the re-launch of Store.WorldwidePerformance1.com – Off Road Performance Parts. Thank you for choosing After Dark Grafx to design and develop a new eCommerce website for you. Worldwide Performance Parts contacted After Dark Grafx over 10 years ago to develop a new website for their business. We initially created a new eCommerce website for them using Magento 1.x at that time and migrated data from Miva Merchant to Magento. Magento was the perfect solution for what this client wanted to do. Unfortunately, migrating from Magento 1.9 to Magento 2.x is not an easy task. The developers of Magento fell short when it came to transitioning from their base platform into a newly recoded v2 platform without offering an easy to use migration utility to maintain their clients. Hence, the new website. This client needed hundreds of options for products for their needs and Shopify and other solutions were not going to work out. We ended up designing and developing their new eCommerce wesbite in WordPress with WooCommerce as the shopping cart. We were able to export Magento data, images, etc. and import them into WooCommerce with the help of 3 plugins. This was the largest hurdle but these plugins enabled us to easily port over all of their data from Magento 1.9x. If you need to Migrate from Magento to WooCommerce and need some help, please contact us. After completing this website, we created several videos to help this client understand WooCommerce Ordering Process as well as How To Edit a Website with Elementor (WYSIWYG) editor. “After Dark Grafx built another website for us. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. They just did everything. They asked me a few questions and the rest is history!” – Greg F.
