Limely X FDF: Upgrading Magento To Hyvä Theme

We’re continuing to support and drive growth for our longstanding client, Factory Direct Flooring!

Yes that’s right! After designing and developing a highly-functional Magento 2 ecommerce website for Factory Direct Flooring (FDF) a few years ago, we’ve been continually supporting their growth with a range of UX improvements and bespoke features. As a result of their success, the natural progression for the brand is to upgrade their website to the lightning-fast and innovative, Hyvä Theme! Let’s find out exactly what we’ll be doing for the brand.

Factory Direct Flooring, A Quick Recap:

FDF are an industry-leading wood, laminate and vinyl flooring retailer who revolutionised the traditional floor shopping experience by eliminating the middlemen and delivering high-quality flooring, directly to their customers. Although FDF was founded in 2005, their roots date back to 1989 when the founders found themselves immersed in the flooring industry and noticed a significant gap in the gap in the market! The inception of the brand was a direct response to countless customer stories detailing their frustrating floor shopping experiences.

As a member of the British Wood Flooring Association, FDF truly values high-quality products and always prioritises their customers, offering premium-quality wood flooring at a competitive price thanks to their business model which cuts out the middlemen. Innovative sourcing and manufacturing techniques ensure that the brand stands out within a competitive industry while exceptional customer service and a fantastic online shopping experience has led to the brand going from strength to strength.
