Finisterre, the British technical outdoor apparel brand, has launched a new website and shop at http://www.finisterreuk.com. The new transactional website has been designed and developed by Screen Pages, the e-commerce agency, using Magento.
Finisterre is a Cornwall-headquartered outdoor clothing company whose fabric innovations have received several awards. Its product ranges include insulated and waterproof jackets, layered clothing, tops and accessories – many from quality eco-friendly fabrics such as Merino wool. The brand has developed a cult following in its niche and is seen by some as the UK’s answer to Patagonia.
Finisterre is enjoying significant sales growth and this investment in its online sales channels will spearhead further expansion.
The new website’s capabilities, developed in Magento, include:
- Beautiful, simple creative design
- Compelling and extensive product and lifestyle photography
- Multi-layered navigation (mens/womens, activity, ranges)
- Widespread use of embedded video
- Social media & community engagement (Facebook, Youtube & Twitter)
- Designer notes, fabric & aftercare information
- Filtered selection (price, colour, size etc)
- Cross-sells and up-sells
- Gift vouchers
- Lifestyle blog featuring tips, recommendations and special offers
- Single page checkout with online card authorisation via Sagepay
