About Xigen
Xigen is an award-winning UK eCommerce agency with over two decades of experience under its belt in creating high-performance websites for a diverse client base of well-known global brands, multinational blue-chips, enterprise, and SMB clients across multiple sectors.
Who we are
When it comes to us as individuals, our motto, 'normal gets you nowhere', is particularly resonant. Our in-house, multi-functional teams are made up of creative and technical minds, people who love what they do and can apply their skill and work their craft with imagination and intuition.
Xigen people are a diverse bunch, whether it's channeling their inner nerd, showing off a flare for design, or displaying high organizational skills, all working together in the creation, development, and support of high-performance eCommerce websites that enable our clients' businesses to thrive.
Our work
The work we do varies quite a lot in type and scope. Here are just three examples to give you an idea:
- Optimising website performance, back and frontend, for clients such as media and entertainment motion capture specialist, Vicon, with conversion rate optimization testing that has increased audience engagement
- Helping niche retailers grow their eCommerce, as with Jacksons Art Supplies, creating new eCommerce capability and implementing design transformation which has seen a significant up-tick in their business
- Delivering major projects, such as a large-scale migration project for Epson Europe, including 15,000 pages being moved to their new website
