Fitness Star of Norway, previously known as Hot and Trendy, turned to Holbi with SSL problem back in January 2010. Anette Thorud, CEO of the company selling elegant sportswear of her own design, was quite impressed with the high speed and quality at which the issue was resolved. Her company used to work with a local IT firm that had upgraded her website with a number of features. However, the company site needed improvement both design and usability wise hence for a start Holbi moved the site from osCommerce to TrueLoaded platform with Enterprise package. 

Later, in February 11, 2010 Ms.Thorud ordered new design and although the final version was created by her own designer, Holbi successfully implemented it with minor changes and turned the website into a tasteful webstore by adding the spaces for banners and changing the central slide-show to the static picture; the color of the frame was changed as well.

At that point, once the eventual modification was done and the website was launched in early May of 2010, Fitness Star decided to proceed with re-branding of the entire online business and had the name and look of their site altered. 

Additionally, the Inventory module and the Klarna Payment Module were installed into the website in June, 2011. The copy of Fitness Star old site is now working under www.fitnesstar.co.uk, but very likely to undergo considerable update in the future.

Anette Thorud says,’I contacted Holbi a few months ago as I was having some problems with a webstore I had purchased through a Norwegian IT firm. Holbi offered me help right away at a very reasonable price and I found the service to be truly excellent. As I got absolutely no help from the Norwegian firm who had charged me a great deal of money for a store that was not functioning very well, I decided to move everything to Holbi and ordered a complete new store through the very safe TrueLoaded system. I was amazed at the low price for a whole new store with all the functions I needed, and true to their word, they delivered a product I am 100% satisfied with. I will continue to work closely with Holbi and add features to my store as my business grows. Sales have already increased by approx. 75% since making the move to Holbi.’

Holbi in their turn have had a great pleasure dealing with Ms.Thorud’s Fitness Star and are looking forward to further co-operation in bringing her online business onto a new level.
