Who is Dorcy?

Headquartered in Columbus Ohio, Dorcy is a global enterprise designing, producing, and distributing portable lighting products around the world.

In addition Dorcy is a leading maker of portable lanterns, for camping, and emergency lighting, some equipped with USB connectivity, Bluetooth audio functionality and Mobile Apps with built in weather stations.

Working with a team, we designed and build a completely new Magento 1 e-commerce solution to retail their products online.  Our build included a feature rich display of their products with as well as an integrated WordPress blogging add on where they are able to feature their products.

Project:

This project was a complete Magento 1 site build that was designed to showcase all of Dorcy’s newest and innovative lighting products. Along with the Magento’s built in e-commerce functionality we built custom “Lookbook” pages featuring Dorcy’s three main product industries. We also connected a WordPress blog platform for publishing featured news, product articles and customer reviews on their site.

Features:

  • Complete site design
  • Showcase product lookbook pages
  • Recommended / Additional product add to cart functionality
  • WordPress blogging functionality.
