JANUS et Cie has been a leader in design-driven furnishings, accessories, and performance textiles for over 40 years. Their luxury outdoor furniture can be found adorning commercial buildings, hotels, resorts, and beautiful homes across the globe.

JANUS' commitment to superb craftsmanship, extraordinary quality, and unparalleled customer service has allowed them to build long-term relationships with multiple enterprise and residential clients.

It was essential for this pursuit of excellence to be represented on their website with a compelling and engaging experience for their dedicated audience of designers, businesses, and homeowners.

The Challenge

JANUS et Cie was struggling to maintain their Magento site. They couldn’t offer their trade customers specific promos and their existing design didn't do their products justice. They also needed a design and development partner to ensure that any changes they did make to the site would not have negative downstream impacts.

Since JANUS serves international customers, they also needed a partner to help them comply with GDPR. While they had purchased Cookiebot, they wanted reassurance that cookies were classified within Google Analytics and used appropriately in their marketing strategy.

And lastly, JANUS needed a team with the resources required to support the site hosting on AWS.

The Solution

JANUS et Cie chose to work with IronPlane for our demonstrated expertise in the Magento ecosystem. Getting the design elements right was a critical first step in this project. We worked with the JANUS team to design a custom theme for their site to highlight all the unique facets of their furniture.

We further customized the theme to accommodate a custom designer-specific pricing structure. The new UI emphasized this special pricing with different colors and pop-ups depending on JANUS et Cie’s specified promotional campaigns.

IronPlane’s project managers also took stock of other adjustments JANUS et Cie wanted to make to their site and developed a new DevOps process designed to make those changes with minimal internal and external disruption.

IronPlane's experience supporting international eCommerce businesses with GDPR requirements allowed us to institute new cookie policies and help them navigate the conflicts between cookie classifications and Google Analytics.

  • Custom Magento theme and full UI upgrade

  • Cookiebot integration to keep up with GDPR guidelines

  • Monthly DevOps and hosting support

  • Customized shipping pricing

  • Custom pricing configurator and display to support discounts for trade customers

The Results

After major updates were implemented, IronPlane continued to work with JANUS et Cie on a monthly basis, providing upgrades, security patches, and minor bug fix support.
