Carve

Carve: Magento CMS eCommerce Website to Stay Cool While Lookin’ Hot.

Carve approached COG Digital with a brief to deliver the eCommerce responsive website and development for the global eyewear brand.

Overview

The business includes local, national and global logistics and warehousing of imported products, plus a global wholesale and retail network. So, the digital solutions needed to consider API’s, FTP’s, SEO, SEM and 3PL’s. (plus custom PHP environments that hadn’t been updated with version control in over 15 years… but that’s the dirty laundry).

Scope

  • Digital Marketing Plan
  • SEO
  • SEM Rush Assessments
  • Backlinking
  • Directory Strategy
  • Metadata
  • Page Reviews
  • Google Ad Program
  • Audit by a Amazon Owned User Experience Agency

The brief

Carve approached COG Digital with a brief to deliver the eCommerce responsive website and development for the global eyewear brand.

The brief from Carve to our Sydney Digital Agency went much deeper than building a simple website. The business includes local, national and global logistics and warehousing of imported products, plus a global wholesale and retail network. So, the digital solutions needed to consider API’s, FTP’s, SEO, SEM and 3PL’s. (plus custom PHP environments that hadn’t been updated with version control in over 15 years… but that’s the dirty laundry).

The results

From the entire 103 page audit, there was more than 300 updates advised to achieve a incremental increase of 0.52% in conversion. This would have come at a total labour cost of 250 development hours.

The COG Digital product was exceeding 80% in score across multiple pages and over achieved against the initials scope of work. In review, the eCommerce Magento CMS website we delivered Carve Sunglasses was hard to fault, and could only be marginally optimised to achieve a further small percentage increase in eCommerce sales.

We were compared to and directly audited against huge eCommerce players such as The Iconic, Asos, General Pants, Adidas, Hype DC – which says to us what we developed was playing in the right game.

We’re a proud 100% Australian website development team who operate with transparency, trust and good old fashion work ethic. We welcome audits of the websites we design and develop. If you like the Magento eCommerce Website we delivered for Carve Sunglasses – hopefully our Sydney Digital Agency can build your business its next eCommerce website.
