Initial Consultation and Project Goals

In 2020, Padmore & Barnes approached us with the challenge of updating their existing website, which was built on the outdated xCart platform. During our initial consultation, we identified several pain points: outdated legacy integrations, limited control over content for their marketing team, and growing concerns about costs, security, and scalability.

Understanding these challenges, we proposed migrating their website to WordPress/WooCommerce. This transition promised a more user-friendly content management system (CMS), allowing their marketing team greater control and flexibility. Additionally, WordPress/WooCommerce offered a modern, secure, and cost-effective solution with a wide range of free and paid integrations to support their evolving business needs.
