Stringer Brothers Upholstery Ecommerce Website

We went for a simple design that helped the products to shine through and worked with their existing logo. The website is fast and easy to use and has all of the features needed to grow their business.

Tom and Jamie were incurring additional charges with every transaction on Shopify. We created a Magento 2 ecommerce website that allowed them to sell their products without the additional charges.
