Our Work

Aperture, a not-for-profit foundation, connects the photo community and its audiences with the most inspiring work, the sharpest ideas, and with each other—in print, in person, and online.

We were approached by Aperture in the late summer of 2012 to work in partnership with themselves and other creative agencies to help deliver their reconceived and redesigned  brand and site for 2013.

Our input into the new Aperture was full development of the ecommerce storefront on Magento Enterprise Edition including different layouts and templates for different sections,  custom pages and functionality for donations, statements showing only certain information based on complex rules. All within detailed interpretation of supplied wireframes.

Magento Admin Display more than 200 products in the Product Admin Grid

How toNews

However, to speed up the process showing 200 per page wasn’t enough I needed 2000. Changing the display number is straight forward but please be aware that the more you display the longer it takes for the the grid to load.
