CS-Cart & Magento development by Alt-team

Ellevil.org is the biggest in Russia online store, where mothers can buy baby carriers, slings and clothes for this period of life. In 2009, they started to sell Norwegian designed products for babies made from naturals materials only. Then ellevill broadened the range of products and launched the sales with maternity underwear and lingerie. The number of store clients was raising so Ellevils contacted us to upgrade their CS-Cart website and to make some changes on base code. Our developer was working with this project for some weeks and there were SEO modifications, new features and fast optimized CS-Cart store on the recently released version in the final. 

So, the tasks what Alt-team completed:

• * upgrade of Ellevill.org;
• * 1C integration and the 50% pre-payment ability;
• * web server optimization;
• * server examination and delete 502 errors;
• * increase the CS-Cart store performance;
• * SEO-modifications;
• * small modifications;
• * block with random products.

Also, Ellevils owners have another CS-Cart stores: 

• PetuniaBag dot ru
• Diva-milano dot com
• sling dot ru

Our CS-Cart developer worked on these websites too. We upgraded diva-milano shop, dedicated developer service on petuniabag and migrate sling dot ru to CS-Cart.

Elightshop is a HyperMarket of light bulbs, lighting fixtures, pin-up lamps and other products. The business is growing rapidly, so the offices in different Russian cities have been opened (16 offices) and the issue of region promotion become critically acute. We offered our SEO CS-Cart module Store Cities. The addon has been installed in April 2018 on elightshop CS-Cart store. We noticed how site traffic has been changing due to 6 months.

So the results of growing site traffic:

• March (without Store Cities module) - 1400 people a month ⌚;
• May (just installed the module) - 1 200 people a month ▼;
• July (the module is working) - 2000 people a month  ▲;
• August (still working module) - 2 200 people a month  ▲.

The reason why the website traffic became less in May - new subdomains appeared and website positions weren't stable. But, this period passed and the store has more visitors now and the number of attendance is constantly growing. Store Cities module is the main instrument of SEO promotion for this website. Nothing except addon installation hasn't been made. 

The principle of store promotion, the add-on Store Cities adds regional subdomains and adapt website content to each region. For example, elightshop has 16 branches in Russian cities, like Moscow, Kazan, Samara, Ekaterinburg and etc. So their main domain is for the central office in Moscow. Other offices store are available with subdomains: samara.elightshop.ru or kazan.elightshop.ru 

When the customer from Samara visits their website, they see contact information for Samara city and all content indicates that this company has a business in Samara. 

So Google and Yandex (Russian search system) place this resource on top places due to regional queries. 

This client is famous as Fabrika Betonov. It is a production complex in East Siberia that produces concrete, foamed concrete blocks, autoclaved aerated concrete blocks and other products made from cement.

Concrete is a quite specific product. It's heavy and doesn't have small dimensions. Shipping turns to a great issue on an online store that sells building materials: concrete, cement, masonry.

Our CS-Cart specialists were hired to make a new, stylish, eye-catching and responsible design for their new store that would be appropriate to express the advantages in dealing with this factory.

One of the convenient features that our developers carried out is an online calculator of building materials that need to build a house, a fence or to plan the number of materials.

Shipping functional has been also modified to meet the demands on building materials transportation. As you know, it's a quite expensive service. Customers need an online calculator to get the shipping price at once. In addition, we have added the ability to calculate the cost of required shipping transport.
