Overview

Portland based outdoor supply company Next Adventure had spent over a decade building up their successful brick and mortar store. They wanted to take their business into the world of Ecommerce. They chose local Magento partner Forix to help them develop an effective eCommerce strategy and build an interactive and engaging website on the innovative Magento platform.

The Challenge

Next Adventure didn’t want to fall behind their competitors by neglecting their online presence. They wanted to create an interactive and enjoyable shopping experience for their online customers.

The thought of a new website was daunting to Next Adventure. We knew we needed a fresh look and a more robust shopping cart for our site, but our resources were not plentiful enough to take us to that level. We knew what we wanted, we just needed to find the right team to build it. We found the perfect fit with Forix. They have impressed us over and over again with their professionalism and attention to detail.
