Big Eye Deers set to be at the forefront of Magento 2

(prHWY.com) March 6, 2013 - Cardiff, United Kingdom -- Big Eye Deers, a creative digital agency based in Cardiff, is delighted to announce that they are fully-equipped to implement Magento 2 migration processes for their clients as soon as the update is released. Now, Magento site owners will be able to upgrade their store to the new version of the web development platform toward the end of the year.

In a statement, Michaela Hinton, the Client Manager of Big Eye Deers said:"As a web design agency that specialise in Magento, we see Magento 2 as an exciting development that will only add to our user experience with the platform."

Magento 2 is a complete revamp of its predecessor (Magento 1.7.0.2). The new version is expected to offer better performance and simplified processes to users and site visitors. This is the second major release of this e-commerce open source platform since its launch in 2008.

Â· Reports say that with 2 version, Magento performance will be at least 20% faster than the latest version 1.7.0.2 released on 5th July 2012. Now web developers will be able to provide more functionality to merchants and clients will find it easier to manage their Magento stores.

With Magento 2 in place later this year or early next year, merchants can expect -

Â· Better product quality

Â· Improved product security, safer updates and changes

Â· Transparent and simplified processes

Â· Reduced amount of unneeded modules

Â· Easy to control and edit theme and email content

Â· Improved functionality, easier and quicker development

Â· Developed multi-language support

Â· Better product documentation, faster and more logical development

Â· Positive user feedback

Michaela also added "Having been at the forefront of this technology since its initial release, we are excited to be one of the only agencies in Cardiff to have focused our work on Magento since it was rolled out. It is because of our speciality in this field that we are fully equipped to handle migrations to the platform."

The new and advanced features of Magento 2

Â· Magento 2 will successfully run on PHP 5.3 and Zend Framework as 1.0

Â· The new platform will support MSSQL, Oracle databases and windows platform server

Â· Magento 2 uses default JavaScript library to avoid prototype and jquery conflict

Â· User of Magento 2 can simply disable any module such as catalog, customer, checkout, CMS, sales that they do not want to use and can write their own code

Â· Developing and managing Theme on the new Magento platform is more exciting as CSS, images, JavaScripts, Layout templates have become more modular.

Â· Unified entry points allow safer updates and changes

Â· Improved User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI)

However, as Magento 2 is entirely different from the existing system, those interested to migrate to the new platform that don't currently have Magento will need to seek the help of skilled developers with the expertise to implement it from scratch.
