This week during Imagine, Magento’s annual conference, innovative organizations and brands were recognized for their exceptional ecommerce sites. We are incredibly excited to announce that Blue Acorn iCi client Le Creuset received the Excellence Award for Best Web Design.

In a statement, Magento said that Le Creuset set an industry standard of excellence for the site, launched in October of last year. According to Magento, the site balances compelling content and a crisp design with a user experience carefully tailored to reduce bounce rates, all while maximizing sales and average order value. The new site continues to drive record revenue for Le Creuset, and it is now rolling out the website in more than 29 countries.
“The winners of the 2016 Imagine Excellence Awards embody the relentless commitment of our clients and partners taking commerce to the next level,” said Mark Lavelle, CEO of Magento Commerce. “From the omnichannel and technology innovators to the explorers carving out new ways of doing business, it is because of the continued innovation of our community that Magento is at the forefront of global commerce. On behalf of everyone at Magento Commerce, congratulations to all the finalists and winners of the 2016 Excellence Awards.”
Last month Le Creuset was also honored as the recipient for best website during the Spark! Awards.

This isn’t the first Blue Acorn iCi site to own accolades at Magento’s annual developer mecca. In 2013 Reed & Barton’s site was named most innovative of the year. We also received Magento’s Fast & Emerging Partner Award in 2011, and the Magento North American eCommerce Partner of the Year in 2015.
