Why Magento? Magento is an excellent platform that is used by companies such as Nike, Paul Smith, Nicole Miller and other Fortune 500 companies. What sets Magento apart from other platforms is that unlike some platforms such as WordPress, which need to be adapted to handle e-commerce the Magento platform was specifically designed for e-commerce, and the result is a powerful, feature-rich, and flexible and completely scalable solution for your online business that will allow your website to grow as you do. We choose to work with the best platform, Magento.
We integrate a package of exclusive features both in the backend and frontend to optimise marketing and analytical techniques and improve administration options, all that to incase the shopping experience of the customers.We always keep in mind best practices for SEO during the development process, this will include search engine friendly URL’s, a Meta Tag tool, and SEO page editing for each website information and product page. All websites that we develop will be integrated with Google Analytics for detailed analysis, 3rd party shipping software (if applicable), email marketing software such as MailChimp or Constant Contact, and a Payment Gateway for secure credit card transactions.
The demand for speed is one of those things we’re sure won’t change: in 10 years, nobody will say “I wish websites would load slower”.

Although Magento comes with a lot of out of the box, custom functions and a lot more are offered by the existing extensions, many times there’s a need for a completely unique new function. Here are some examples of impressive customizations we did:
For every online store is very important to highlight the products which the customers might be interested in. When there is more than one condition for displaying the related products, the task becomes difficult. Our team built a complex algorithm to solve this aspect, so the customers can enjoy the related products.
This project challenge was to display a complex products category tree in the specific pages. Our team had to combine an appealing design with usability and functionality. Now the customers enjoy Golden Rabbit’s high quality images and also they can easily navigate and find the desired product.
When you deal with a large number of product types and products attributes, the database import becomes a challenge. First of all the products database file should be structured and prepared in order to meet the Magento system requirements. The second and the most important is to build the structure which will “support” all the products.
Magento platform product’s types are: simple products, grouped products, and configurable products, but Web Future team encountered a unique scenario: we needed to group together a collection of configurable products. Even further, the requirement was to make this new feature compatible with layered navigation modules and a series of extensions involved in the Magento instance.
