Decorative Trimmings | Website Redesign

Decorative Trimmings manufactures and sells decorative trimming and narrow fabrics to B2B and B2C customers across a variety of trades including home décor, apparel, crafts, and hobby. Their extensive product offering includes lace, braids, fringes, and a wide range of trimming options. Located in New York City, this longtime Miva client has been in business for more than three decades.

The Decorative Trimmings team turned to Miva’s Professional Services team for help in delivering a first-class shopping experience for customers. The website was not responsive prior to the redesign project and displayed all product categories, which led to a rather cluttered storefront. The redesigned website now features a fresh new look and feel and functionality that caters to both B2B and B2C customers.

Feature Highlights of DecorativeTrimmings.com

  • Volume Pricing – Customers that purchase in bulk, typically those selling B2B, can take advantage of a lower price point per unit depending on the quantity ordered. This feature matched with the capabilities of the robust Miva ecommerce platform enables Decorative Trimmings to easily manage B2B and B2C orders within one admin.
  • Improved User Experience – Customers can now shop across all devices thanks to the responsive design. The optimized checkout process of the Levels ReadyTheme keeps customers focused on completing purchases.
  • Mega Menu – Native to the Levels theme, cleanly displayed categories are displayed once a user hovers over the hamburger menu, in the main navigation. The mega menu feature enables businesses with extensive product offerings.
