Micro Scooters, the fast growing company behind the UK’s most popular scooter range, has launched a new e-commerce website designed, developed and hosted by Screen Pages, one of the UK’s leading Magento e-commerce agencies. The site can be visited at www.micro-scooters.co.uk.
Micro-Scooters Ltd is a privately owned company which sells and distributes of children’s scooters and associated accessories. The business grew as a wholesaler, major customers being the John Lewis Partnership and Jo Jo Maman Bebe, coupled with their consumer website which was subsequently supported by catalogue mailings. 1 million people own scooters in the UK.
Screen Pages was appointed in March to design and build the new e-commerce website, and to deliver ongoing hosting, support and hand-holding. The new website was launched in August.
