Gardening Express

The challenge

Gardening Express is one of the UK’s leading online plant retailers, shipping across the country from a large online store. The business is intensely seasonal: spring brings a huge share of the year’s orders in just a few weeks, so the site has to be quick every day and completely dependable when it counts.

How we helped

We look after development and engineering for Gardening Express, a relationship that has run since 2012. That means keeping the Magento and WordPress store fast for customers, smoothing the path to checkout, and making sure the platform is proven against the spring peak before the traffic arrives, not during it.

The result

A store that stays fast through the year and holds firm through the peak, backed by a development partner who knows the business inside out.
