Price of the course at the moment is around $3,850.00, which is not a small amount to pay for a five day education. Good thing is that we needed to pay only 50% of the cost as Magento Silver Partner. So is it worth the money? Read more

Why is this important? Well, it usually leads to a bit better user experience. Even a fraction better user experience can make a difference between new order and abandoned cart. No one likes abandoned carts :) . Read more
