“Our business was expanding rapidly on Magento, but we needed access to greater e-commerce and Magento experience backed by professional development and a structured project and support team. We could see that Screen Pages – as a Gold Magento partner – could provide us this. We have been exceptionally pleased with the results so far: the sites are running smoothly, quickly and we can see positive results already.”

Magento is the most flexible and most powerful eCommerce platform. Customisable and agile, Magento gives your business the flexibility other platforms can't.
Magento is the easiest and smoothest implementation for any modern cloud commerce platform. It uses an open-source ecosystem and is flexible for B2C, B2B and hybrid solutions, extending beyond the shopping cart.
Screen Pages and Specialist Crafts deliver a sophisticated shopping experience at every touch point.
Responsive web design (RWD, also referred to as responsive design) was a key focus for Specialist Crafts.
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 Specialist Crafts' mission for accessibility, the user experience (UX) became our obsession.
The objective was to ensure the user eCommerce journey was as streamlined and efficient as possible, whilst maintaining high regard for Specialist Crafts ethos.
