Meet Vinny Keane from Big Bully Creative in New York. Vinny was tasked with finding a website platform for the new Blades site that enabled the company to grow. After conducting a great deal of research and speaking to many different developers, the team decided to try out Magento Go. What they found was a platform that had many of the features they were looking for as well as the ability to preserve the design integrity of the original Blades site.
For more than two decades, Blades has been selling the finest skate/snow/surf accessories, clothing, footwear and hard goods in the New York metro area. With a successful offline business in place, the team was eager to translate their brick and mortar success to an online store. Blades tried eCommerce out in the late '90's, but couldn't create and run their online store the way they wanted. To stay competitive with today's market and further expand their business, Blades has decided to get back into the eCommerce game using Magento Go as their platform. In this first post, you'll meet Dave Patterson, the General Manager of Blades, and find out more about their business and why they've decided to reconnect with the world of eCommerce.
