Don’t Trust Your Data to “Just Anyone”
Go with the Experts
No matter how many times you’ve done a data migration (trust us we’ve done quite a few), unexpected twists and turns are bound to arise. Everybody has little idiosyncrasies with their data. A unique naming scheme here, or a set of duplicate products there. The advantage to working with an agency, like 1Digital, that’s experienced in data migrations, is that we see those issues coming from a mile away. An automatic migration program will just dump your data into the new platform, and if something doesn’t fit quite right, that’s a shame. You get what you get, and you’ll need to fix it later. Our migration scripts, however, are set up manually by our developers after taking the time to investigate your data. We’ll let you know if there’s an issue with the way your data is set up, so we can fix it before you end up on your new platform with half the information you thought you had.
Why Choose Us for Your Shift4Shop Development?

Northstock
[ Migration, Design, Development ]
BigCommerce Migration: H Mac Systems, which has since become known at Northstock, is a provider of quality HVAC products and parts. Previously, they had been built on 3DCart, but considering a variety of issues associated with reliability, support and compatibility with 3rd-party applications, they looked to a migration to a more capable platform (BigCommerce) to provide the reliability and advanced features necessary to provide the functionality both they and their customers needed.
The migration was comprehensive and accounted for a huge assortment of relevant, critical company data, including but not limited to well over 100 categories and over 430,000 products. Our specialists meticulously transferred the data, taking great care to preserve the minute details associated with product descriptions, prices, SKUs and images, as well as all data relevant to SEO, in order to prevent subsequent hiccups in traffic.
1Digital® Agency also migrated sensitive data associated with more than 20,000 customer accounts and 70,000 orders, accounting for personal data, order comments, status, and other specific information. We migrated an assortment of the client’s content over to the new BigCommerce store, meticulously setting up standard 301 redirects along the way to prevent any undue fluctuations in traffic or ranking in the wake of the migration.
Custom Design: Northstock’s migration to a new BigCommerce store required a variety of custom design deliverables, to preserve the continuity and integrity of their brand. The project encompassed the design of a new custom homepage, complete with custom banners for the presentation of relevant promotional imagery, as well as new category and product pages. The project also entailed the design of a new About Us page as well as the styling of two content pages.
Northstock’s new BigCommerce store was designed so as to feature easy navigation, despite the complexity of their product offerings, as well as prominently displayed buttons that would transport users to top categories, such as “All Heating,” or “All Cooling.” The new Northstock BigCommerce homepage also featured displays advertising top brands served and highlighted key company selling points, encouraging visitors to read customer testimonials, to learn more about the organization, or to directly contact Northstock’s customer service department.
Advanced Development: Because Northstock was moving to a new BigCommerce website, several advanced development deliverables accompanied the project. 1Digital® Agency developed, among other items, a subcategory landing page template that would enable Northstock to more efficiently arrange its products without overwhelming users. Instead of displaying all of the products within a given category, when selected, the subcategory page displays a set of neatly arranged subcategories within the greater category, presenting their inventory in a much more digestible format.
1Digital® Agency’s development team also recreated 3DCart’s “Ships In” feature on their new BigCommerce store, to give Northstock’s customers a better estimation of how long it would take select products to ship. Similarly, and to allow Northstock to provide a better user experience, 1Digital® created custom fields displaying information associated with the timeframe during which a product would ship and from where.
Many of Northstock’s products were accompanied with specific literature in the form of PDFs, offered for the purposes of educating their customers. 1Digital® migrated over this information and then created a custom script that would ensure that the PDFs were then assigned to the associated, related products on Northstock.com.
1Digital® also recreated a feature for Northstock’s website that enables customers to view an interactive 3D image of their products, which also incorporates a zoom feature. This tool encourages customer engagement with Northstock’s diverse array of products. Additionally, 1Digital® Agency also integrated several 3rd-party apps into the new BigCommerce website, including eProduct Plug, a custom Contact Us form, Rejoiner, LiveChat, Quote Ninja, and several pay method integrations into the new store. These preserved the integrity of the user experience that Northstock has always offered to their customers.

Hussey Seating
[ Migration, Design, Development ]
Squarespace to BigCommerce Migration: Hussey Seating, an international supplier of custom-designed and public seating solutions with over 180 years of experience, was previously built on Squarespace. The company was in need of a platform that was scalable with their growth as a business, offered more powerful tools and was better capable of handling integrations. Hussey Seating partnered with 1Digital® Agency to migrate their website off of Squarespace and onto BigCommerce.
This migration entailed an in-depth understanding of both platforms and the relocation of countless categories of data, controls and capabilities. 1Digital® Agency, pursuant to our migration process, successfully migrated Hussey Seating’s category and product page data, including descriptions, photos, specifications, warranties and additional category and product specific data, along with proprietary content associated with their About Us, Case Study, Photo Gallery and Blog pages.
Advanced Design: BigCommerce was chosen for this migration not only for its advanced capabilities, but also because it would enable Hussey Seating to develop permission-based viewing of sensitive information, among other features. This project also entailed extensive advanced design for the new BigCommerce website.
Overall, 1Digital® Agency’s designers preserved the major aspects of Hussey Seating’s design, replicating the features that represented the company’s brand. We created a custom homepage mockup featuring banners that would enable the company to promote popular products, capabilities, or other items of interest.
In addition, 1Digital® Agency’s designers created custom product and category pages as well as an About Us page. To enhance user navigation, 1Digital® created a standard mega menu that neatly and succinctly organized all of the company’s major categories of products, as well as venues served and design resources offered.
Advanced Development and Customization: Hussey Seating’s project also included a number of advanced development and customization deliverables in conjunction with its design. Notably, 1Digital® Agency developed custom product pages, allowing the client to include and categorize product specifications, photographs, descriptions and relevant warranties, along with any additional material associated with them, up to ten per product.
1Digital® Agency also utilized the Shogun app to create custom Case Study and Media Gallery templates that the client could use to display and promote success stories and visual, promotional material.
1Digital® Agency’s developers also integrated the EmailMeForm app with the new BigCommerce website, streamlining form submissions and enhancing the functionality of Hussey Seating’s “We Are Hiring” page.
Additionally, 1Digital® created a custom CMS landing page, complete with responsive coding, on the new website, matching the aesthetic of the rest of the site and enhancing the user experience provided by the HusseySeating.com.

Health Chemist
[ Design, Development ]
Custom Design: Health Chemist came to 1Digital® Agency looking for a comprehensive redesign that would bring the functionality of their store into its full potential with a sleek, modern, conversion-optimized design. As a part of the project, our design team created a completely new, brand integrated homepage for HealthChemist.Co.Nz, with new customer banners.
The new homepage was much more modern and optimized for conversions, placing featured and popular brands, bestsellers and new arrivals in prominent locations on the page. Near the top of the new homepage, we also created navigation badges for “What Ails You,” whereby customers could navigate through their products based on their symptoms.
The new homepage also featured new banners that the client could customize with promotional imagery in order to push products based on seasonality, relevance or recency of release. Our design team also created a new advanced mega menu for Health Chemist which neatly and succinctly categorized their particularly diverse collection of brands, including beauty and wellness products.
Advanced Development: As this website was going to receive an entirely new custom design, the project also entailed extensive, advanced development to ensure that every feature was properly integrated and functional. 1Digital® developed a responsive website, along with several system pages, including the shopping cart and checkout pages, a custom 404 page, and others.
1Digital® Agency disabled a series of active modules on Health Chemist’s website while at the same time restyling and reconfiguring several existing modules in order to streamline and improve the user experience. Among the restyled and reconfigured modules were the Ultimate Gift Certificate module (we replaced the existing module with the platform’s standard functionality), as well as modules for product reviews and ratings, first time customer coupons, suggested products, volume discounts, and SearchSpring, among many others. Each of these modules was either restyled or reconfigured to ensure seamless functionality and a high-level user experience.
1Digital® Agency also set up abandoned cart functionality for Health Chemist, configuring the basket and the settings based on their platform’s native functionality. This tool enables Health Chemist to foster conversions by getting in touch with users that have created and then abandoned their carts. We also configured a checkout page for Health Chemist that was optimized for user experience and provided a streamlined, enjoyable experience.

Defender Safety
[ Migration, Design, Development ]
Data Migration: Defender Safety has a large and complex inventory of safety equipment, personal protective equipment, and sanitation essentials. Their large inventory and scope of their operations had become untenable on an open-source platform. They looked to the scalability and ease of management in the form of a SaaS platform, BigCommerce, for a more long-term solution.
1Digital® Agency meticulously migrated their data, including product and category information, customer accounts, order history, and more, over to a newly designed and developed BigCommerce website, and implemented 301 redirects and monitoring Google Search Console along the way to track and address any adverse effects to traffic.
Specifically for this client, 1Digital® Agency performed a site-speed optimization after the migration, checking the site for excess or superfluous code that could be removed to improve loading times, which would positively impact both SEO and the user experience.
Custom Design: Defender Safety relies heavily on customer experience and quality user interface to generate leads and sales. 1Digital® Agency produced a brand new custom-designed website for their eCommerce operation, complete with a new homepage featuring custom banners, new product and category pages, and a new About Us page. The new look of their website represented more contemporary styling and a more modern look, incorporating their colors and features at every turn.
Defender Safety, which has a large collection of products, also required a streamlined set of navigational features to provide a high level of user experience. As a part of the design project, 1Digital® Agency designed a new mega menu for the client, succinctly arranging and categorizing their products. We integrated their brand colors and created special hover over effects for the mega menu as well.
Advanced Development and Customization: 1Digital® Agency developed several advanced custom features for the new Defender Safety website. Previously, the client had partnered with a third-party form builder service for its Contact and Custom Logo Printing pages. 1Digital® replicated those pages for the new site with new templates that the client could alter easily and effectively in the future as might be seen fit. We constructed these templates in such a manner that the client could alter them through Shogun or the back end of BigCommerce, whichever would be preferable.
Our development team also configured special customer groups in Defender Safety’s BigCommerce store, giving the client the ability to segment their users accordingly. We also configured ShipStation into their website in order to maintain the client’s standing shipping procedures. Additionally, we created a Wishlist feature for their website to encourage conversions and to enable the client to monitor purchasing habits and preferences and to tailor customer service efforts.
The development project also entailed the creation of a 1-step checkout in accordance with BigCommerce’s standard optimized 1-page checkout; developing and configuring a 1-page checkout significantly boosts the end user experience and facilitates conversions, adding to the enhanced user experience that our team developed for this client.
