Hitting the right Digital Commerce notes with BigCommerce■
Music Direct's revamped website utilizes BigCommerce's cutting-edge ecommerce platform, offering top-tier functionality. BigCommerce empowers businesses of all sizes to expand online operations with enterprise-grade features, customization, and performance, all delivered with ease.
During the initial collaboration between Music Direct and BlueBolt, meticulous attention was given to design refinement. Together, they fine-tuned the website's aesthetics and navigability, ensuring a seamless user experience. BlueBolt engineered a tailored commerce solution, blending Open Source technologies to enhance site performance and streamline the purchasing process.
The migration from DNN to BigCommerce brought a wealth of ecommerce tools, including B2B and B2C capabilities, content management flexibility, and scalable infrastructure. This transition enabled Music Direct to manage promotions, discounts, and pricing rules across various categories efficiently. Leveraging BravoSquared, BlueBolt integrated content and commerce seamlessly to enhance user engagement.
With the new platform in place, Music Direct can effortlessly adapt to sales peaks, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, without prior preparation. The partnership between Music Direct and BlueBolt underscores a commitment to technological innovation and enhanced user experiences.
We are thankful to our long-time digital agency and partner, BlueBolt, for advising us every step of the way, and delivering on time and on budget. Their deep knowledge in both the B2B and B2C ecommerce space was the foundation of what made this project successful■
