Blue Acorn Launches Custom Solution For Perform Group, LLC

CHARLESTON, S.C. - October 28, 2014 - Blue Acorn, a premium design, development and optimization agency, today announced the launch of a new website for Curtain Call, owned by Perform Group, LLC, an industry leader in gymnastics and dance apparel. The website is built on Magento Enterprise Edition 1.14, an eCommerce platform owned by eBay Enterprise.

Perform Group engaged Blue Acorn to upgrade Curtain Call's website from an outdated proprietary platform to provide their customer base of dance studio owners a simplified shopping experience. The unique requirements lead Blue Acorn to integrate several custom modules.

"Selecting Blue Acorn as our eCommerce partner was an easy choice. Their experience with B2B integrations and use of an agile process made us feel confident in their ability to complete our family of websites," said John Misner, President of Perform Group.

To streamline the process of ordering coordinating costume pieces, Blue Acorn developed PicShopper. Users can click hot-spot icons on interactive lifestyle images to open product information and add item to cart without leaving their current page. Curtain Call's website administrator can place the icons anywhere and change the clickable size area to accommodate items of any size.

Another custom module simplifies the add-to-cart process. The Product Variations Form enables users to enter the desired quantities of each size and color of a product before adding everything to the cart with one click. Real-time communication with Curtain Call's inventory management system displays the number of available products.

"Curtain Call's unique requirements gave us the opportunity to integrate several custom functionalities from our module library. Clients like Curtain Call give our team the opportunity to flex our 'solutions muscles' to design an engaging user experience that also delivers business value," said Kevin Eichelberger, Founder & CEO of Blue Acorn.
