Magnus Shoes, with its head office based just outside Northampton in the village of Harpole, has been a specialist in large size footwear since 1972.
With further stores in London, the company provides a massive range of the very latest quality fashions in men’s shoes up to size 19 and ladies’ shoes up to size 12.
The manufacture of shoes is a very traditional industry in Northamptonshire and Magnus is a very traditional business, but it recognises the importance and essential requirement of an online presence in the modern retail environment.
Therefore, the company has just launched a very exciting new website with help from Northampton web design agency, in.house.media who have worked with Magnus for many years.
Owner Simon Drinkwater knows exactly what his customers are looking for and what is most important for them online.
“in.house.media have done a fantastic job of delivering exactly what we were looking for” said Simon. “We wanted the website to be modern and stylish but place most emphasis on the products themselves.
“The problem is customers need to get the shoes to try them on, but with the new website we wanted to help them to be able to see and experience them as much as possible. So we invested in a new 360 degree photography studio to photograph shoes from every angle which is included on the web site.
“Customers can turn and rotate every shoe which gives them the confidence and reassurance to place an order.
Gavin Hills, from in.house.media explained: “We included many other features such a product searches and filters to make it easy for customers to find the type of shoe they were looking for and make a purchase.
“And, of course, the website is built to work perfectly on mobile phones and tablets which is now a standard requirement for any successful website.”
