Capital Play, the leading independent retailer of play equipment and toys for children, has launched a new website and shop at http://www.capitalplay.co.uk. The new transactional website has been designed and developed by Screen Pages, the e-commerce agency, using Magento.

The company sells a wide range of predominantly outdoor play equipment including trampolines, climbing frames, wheeled toys and other garden play products. Its brands include TP, Pukey, Home Front, Berg and Early Rider.
