Limely X Sewing Machines Direct: Upgrading Magento To Hyvä Theme

We love to evolve with our clients, which is why we’re so excited to be working on this project!

We’re so excited to once again work with our longstanding client, Sewing Machines Direct (SMD). After developing a show-stopping Magento ecommerce website back in 2015, the brand has achieved significant growth and as a result, they need a lightning-fast, super streamlined and even more powerful ecommerce site that can handle their increased traffic and growing inventory. We’re taking their existing site to the next level by employing the exceptionally quick and powerful Magento 2 ecommerce platform alongside the innovative frontend solution, Hyvä Theme.

Sewing Machines Direct, A Quick Recap:

SMD has been a leading sewing machine retailer since the 1960s! As a family-run business, their priority has always been to offer friendly customer service and high-quality products at reasonable prices. In 1988, Russell Forrester joined the team and led the brand evolution from a Singer-exclusive retailer to a multi-brand retailer. Today, SMD is continuously expanding its infrastructure and marketing expertise to maximise efficiency, prioritise growth and drive the brand towards the future. As a result, the brand is at the forefront of technology within the industry, hence their commitment to delivering exceptional online shopping experiences for their customers.

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!
