MARINA DEL REY, Calif. - October 6th, 2010 – Guidance (www.guidance.com), which helps online retailers achieve market domination by building captivating and engaging online experiences, announced today the release of BelleGray.com. Owned by celebrities Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, Belle Gray is an elegant boutique located in Sherman Oaks, California.

Belle Gray has been in business since 2003 and an online store was established shortly thereafter. However, after several technical difficulties and poor performance, owners Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin contacted Guidance to completely redesign and develop a new online store for Belle Gray.

Guidance chose Magento Community as the eCommerce platform and built a customized site to fit Belle Gray’s needs and maintain its sophistication. The new site, www.BelleGray.com, has many great features such as “Get This Look,” where shoppers can easily add all of the items worn by one of the featured models directly to their shopping cart. The site also includes an “As Seen On” feature, which shows Belle Gray clothing and accessories by celebrities. Social media and sharing functions like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter feeds were also integrated within the site.

In addition to technical and development services, Guidance is also providing on-going hosting and managed services for the site.

“We are excited that Belle Gray has chosen Guidance to be their Web development firm,” says Jason Meugniot, CEO and Owner of Guidance, “It was important for us to provide them with a site that reflected Belle Gray’s luxury brand and also gave users an unsurpassed buying experience.”

For almost two decades, Guidance has designed and built hundreds of successful Web sites for companies in a variety of industries including entertainment, retail, and consumer products. Clients include Foot Locker, Z Gallerie, Drum Channel, and Pollstar. To learn more about Guidance’s work, visit www.guidance.com.
