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.

What our customers are saying

We're absolutely thrilled with the work Limely have done for us. Taking our website to the next level with Magento 2 was the best thing we ever did, we'll be continuing to work together for the foreseeable!

We are really pleased with our new website and the support and great service Limely have provided during the whole process. Not only are Limely excellent at what they do, but are a friendly, approachable team who put their clients' best interest at the forefront of their work.

The site itself looks great but the way that the whole team were prepared to go the extra mile, including helping me with the brilliantly-written content shows how much they care about their work. Thank-you to the whole team and I look forward to working with you again soon!

I was very pleased with the quality of the websites which Limely built for us. They took a complicated brief and created a bespoke solution which kept everything as simple as possible. The team are a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate in working with them again for future projects. An excellent web agency.

Our brief was a custom website, with lots of complicated functions along the way, and Limely have smashed it and built us an amazing website. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to have a new website created, their knowledge, experience and professionalism is the best.

What can I say... the guys at Limely are a dream to work with! Not only have they made our website something to be incredibly proud of but we have made some fab friends in them! Thank you so much for everything!
