The nation's largest Christian retail chain has hired a leading e-commerce developer to design and develop a strategy to better sell products through its online store. Grand River will design and develop the Family Christian Stores site using Magento's Enterprise Edition 1.9—a system that offers a scalable, cost-effective, online retail solution with rich features, functionality and flexibility, company officials said. "We chose Grand River based on their success developing multi-channel e-commerce solutions for retailers," said Derek Kloostra, director of e-commerce for Family Christian Stores. "It's our goal to provide the best selection of Christian lifestyle resources to help people find, grow and share their faith. We want to create an experience that delivers world-class service and fosters the Christian community." The new Web site will make it easy to search, shop and buy products, as well as support The James Fund, the primary philanthropy of Family. Family has nearly 300 brick-and-mortar locations and more than 4,000 employees in 36 states. Click here to check out Family's new Web site. |
