about the project

Business requirements

Cabbages and Roses is an independent, family-run business based in Somerset that specialises in quintessential, good quality, and unique British clothing and accessories as well as, printed fabrics and lifestyle goods for your home. Cabbages and Roses has a flagship store located in Bruton, Somerset, and runs its online shop on Magento. It’s a B2B and B2C business, selling straight to consumers as well as other fabric merchants located all around the UK and internationally.

Cabbages and Roses initially came to chilliapple as they were experiencing critical hacking issues on their checkout page which was caused via the payment gateway portal as the site was not up-to-date and therefore not secure. The site was running on Magento 1.9, so an upgrade was long overdue.

Our solution

Our account and project management team designed a migration plan with the help of some of our Magento 2 developers to ensure that the existing website code was not compromised by the hack and that the daily running of the website could be managed easily until the upgrade from Magento 1 to Magento 2 was ready to go live. Our team of developers took a copy of the code to clean by removing malicious malware and applying a new Magento patch that stabilised the site until the Magento migration was ready.

The results

Since then, we have had an ongoing relationship with Cabbages and Roses and they have been on our Support and Maintenance packages for over four years, which has seen a positive impact on their traffic and an increase in conversion rates. Cabbages and Roses have recently upgraded from our Silver Support to Gold that provides additional benefits such as core process checks and competitor analysis. The package allows us to continuously monitor and keep the site up-to-date and secure, whilst Cabbages and Roses focus on their business and do not have to worry about the likelihood of the site coming under a malicious attack again. They work closely with their Account Manager, to come up with innovative ideas to improve and enhance the user experience, making sure the website is easy to use and frontend and backend processes are automated.

There is more innovative development to come from Cabbages and Roses as we help strategise their online roadmap!
