Blacksheep chooses Lava Platform over EKM Powershop

Sizzle Media web design Manchester were initially approached by Blacksheep, Manchester’s leading skateboard shop and skate park, to design a 'skin' for an EKM Powershop system enabling them to trade their skate wares online. It soon became apparent that cheap is not always cheerful. Whilst you would be forgiven wanting to find a quick solution, as Blacksheep discovered, a 'quick' setup does not equate to a functioning website that is ready to trade.

After demoing our Lava Ecommerce Platform to Blacksheep it was apparent that our ecommerce system, customer service and web design capabilities were far more tailored to their requirements and flexible business ethos. Sizzle Media were able to clearly demonstrate the many benefits of our affordable ecommerce solutions and our flexibility in making sure that Blacksheep received the quality of service expected from a quality Manchester web design studio.

The payment integration proved to be a challenge as Blacksheep had already chosen the infamously tricky HSBC gateway, which a short amount research on the web will tell you is a pain in the a**e to work with. However Ben our Technical manager overcame the challenge with his web fu and will be releasing instructions as to how we can save you a few handfuls of hair.

Blacksheep are now taking orders and join the growing number of vibrant ecommerce projects in our web design portfolio. If your business has chosen a cheap off the shelf solution like EKM Powershop in haste, then feel free to contact us today on freephone 0808 14 333 00 and we will do our best to show you a more tailored and focused business service by Manchester’s most affordable web design studio.
