Challenge
- Contractors License was operating two separate Magento 1 stores, each processing orders independently.
- Magento 1 stores were outdated, needing security patches and upgrades to avoid vulnerabilities.
- The business required a single Magento 2 store that would merge sales, catalog, and customer data from both sites while maintaining data integrity and improving functionality.
Our Approach
Contractors License needed a secure, modern eCommerce platform to improve user experience and conversion rates. Hire Web Creators LLC recommended upgrading to Magento 2, offering enhanced security, performance, and a more user-friendly interface. Our team migrated catalog, orders, and customer data seamlessly, ensuring no historical data was lost. We used custom prefixes during migration to track sales from the old Magento 1 stores and worked with our SEO team to redirect old URLs, preserving search rankings. To enhance the user journey, we redesigned the website and checkout process with a mobile-friendly layout and custom solutions, including the Mageice OneStepCheckout, which streamlined checkout and boosted conversions. We also migrated a custom map feature to help customers find the right products based on their location. Without these improvements, Contractors License risked losing clients and revenue due to an outdated, inefficient system.
Outcomes
- Upgraded to Magento 2, ensuring advanced security features and better scalability.
- Successfully merged catalog, orders, and customer data from two Magento 1 stores into a single Magento 2 store, streamlining business operations.
- Redesigned checkout process and mobile-friendly layout resulted in a significant increase in conversion rates.
- Redirected old URLs for optimal SEO performance, preserving search engine rankings and enhancing traffic.
