We’re pleased to share our latest case study with Stanah Horse Feeds — a well-established equestrian and country retailer who partnered with us to evolve their business both online and in-store.

Starting with a fully tailored e-commerce website, the project quickly grew into a complete retail transformation — culminating in the integration of Easitill EPOS to create a seamless connection between online and physical sales.

The result?

✔ Expanded reach beyond their local customer base
✔ Real-time stock accuracy across all channels
✔ Improved operational efficiency and reporting
✔ A scalable platform ready for future growth

This project is a great example of how the right combination of web design and EPOS can unlock real commercial value for independent retailers.

As we close out 2025, one thing is clear — website accessibility is no longer optional. It’s expected.
Modern websites must do more than look good. They need to be usable, readable and navigable for everyone — including users with visual, cognitive or physical impairments, and those browsing on mobiles, older devices or slower connections.
In our latest blog, Blue Door Design explores:

✔ What accessibility-first design really means
✔ Why inclusive websites convert better
✔ How accessibility improves UX and SEO
✔ A simple end-of-year accessibility audit checklist
Looking ahead to 2026, accessibility-first design won’t be a bonus feature — it will be the standard.
