Certified Magento Developers at 2J Design

With the ever increasing need for Magento and many requests for Ecommerce websites now stating Magento as their prefred choice 2J Design have certified 3 developers under the highly sought after Magento Certified Developer program.

This is a badge every Magento developer wants to see by his name and we are pleased all 3 of our lead developers have passed this certification with ease.
We are now in the process of training 2 of our latest developers ready to take the Magento exam by August 2013, we will also shortly be putting all our developers through the new certification which is available the Magento Front-end developer certification.

Our developers all passed with excellent scores as below:

Dev 1 – Passed the Magento Certified Developer exam with an amazing score of 68 / 70
Dev 2 – Passed the Magento Certified Developer Plus exam with an impressive 72 / 85
Dev 3 – This is our technical director who specialises in the logic and trouble shooting as opposed to developing on a daily basis and still passed with a score of 49 / 70 (Not bad considering this was in Las Vegas after only 2 hours sleep and quite possibly still drunk)

We are extremely proud of our achievement with Magento and look to working towards Gold status within the next year, we are currently a Silver Solutions partner working with both the Community and Enterprise platform, you can see our Magento partner profile here

Optimising returns of Graphic Design outsourcing

Jamie — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 09:51:50 +0000

Businesses are consumed by the prospect of saving money by outsourcing their graphic design. As a result, they don’t recognise the other potentials of graphic design outsourcing. To be able to optimise your returns from graphic design outsourcing, you should:
-   Identify your goals: The purpose of your project and the goals you want to achieve with your design will help you get the best out of the graphic design outsourcing decision. If you know the purpose of your project, you can ensure that the design helps achieve your objectives.
-   Cost to Quality Aspect: You need to find a company that is not only affordable but gives importance to the quality of graphic designing. A focus on quality helps you ensure that the project will be well-planned, well managed and more importantly well designed.
-   Company credentials: It’s all about hiring the right company for your needs and requirements. Make sure that the credentials of the company that you are doing business with are rock solid. It must have a proven track record of successfully delivering graphic design projects.
-   Tracking Development: Before the start of the project, ask for a phased time line and make sure that the company sticks to that time line. Any delay must be explained to your satisfaction.
