"We wanted to implement a next generation e-commerce platform that gave us a lot more flexibility, control and content management – that was Magento. Screen Pages were recommended and emerged as a professional, dependable Magento agency with a proven track record and strong e-commerce credentials. In short we wanted to future proof our ecommerce activities for growth and Screen Pages was the right agency to partner.”

Responsive Web Design
Responsive web design (RWD, also referred to as responsive design) was a key focus for Van-Dal. Screen Pages had to ensure an optimal viewing experience across a wide range of devices (from large, high-resolution desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).
Combined with Van-Dal's crusade for innovation, design and simplicity quickly became our focus.
The objective was to ensure the user eCommerce journey was as streamlined and efficient as possible, whilst maintaining high regard for Van-Dal's customer experience focus.
