Project Overview
Flooring Hut partnered with Envisage Digital to elevate its Magento 2 storefront with a faster, cleaner and more future-proof eCommerce experience. Our goal was to create a high-performing website that matched the quality of their products and made the buying journey smoother for every user.
Flooring Hut and Envisage met for a two day kick-off meeting in the Envisage office to start the process.
The Challenge
Flooring Hut’s existing Magento 2 website relied on the default Luma theme, which limited frontend performance, slowed development and restricted scalability.
Location pages were managed through a separate WordPress install, making content management fragmented and inefficient.
The client needed a faster, more user-friendly website with an optimised mobile experience and simplified development process.
With such a big site, the migration and redesign were no small feats!
The Solution
We upgraded the Flooring Hut website by integrating the Hyvä theme on Magento 2. The developer team installed and configured the new theme, ensuring seamless integration with the custom ERP software that Flooring Hut personally developed to manage suppliers, product, pricing and stock.
Our SEO team ran audits on the old, staging and new sites to ensure site speed progression, health and monitor 404s.
The user interface was optimised for intuitive navigation and accessibility. A fully responsive design was implemented across all devices, after extensive extensive UX testing, where website users were recruited and recorded using the website to ascertain any pain points.
The project also included securely migrating all data, consolidating location pages from the WordPress site into a Magento store locator plugin, and optimising site performance to achieve faster load times and higher Google PageSpeed Insights scores.
The Results
The upgraded Flooring Hut website now delivers a smoother, faster, and more engaging user experience. All extensions and custom features function seamlessly with the Hyvä theme, while location pages are fully integrated, simplifying management.
The responsive design ensures the site displays correctly on every device, and improved performance scores support SEO and overall site efficiency. The website is now more scalable, maintainable, and future-ready.
Working closely with the 2 directors of Envisage, Flooring Hut and Envisage have created a UX, CRO-focussed, super fast new website.
The new site performs outstandingly in Core Web Vital tests: with scores of 100 Lighthouse performance on desktop.
