- Client: GN Media / Gulf News
- Category: Magento e-commerce
- Year: Live
- Live site: store.gulfnews.com
GN Media needed a storefront that could sell newspapers, magazines, coffee-table books, and subscription bundles — not a generic product catalog. Codemez built and themed the Magento store that now runs at store.gulfnews.com.
The live Magento theme ships under Smartwave/codemez: a custom storefront for Gulf News print, international titles, cookery and children’s books, and bundled offers such as Gulf News + Financial Times.
The challenge
A media publisher’s catalog is messy by nature — print editions, magazines, books, and time-bound subscription SKUs all need clear categories, offer pricing, and a checkout that works for one-off and recurring purchases.
Our solution
We implemented a Magento catalog with department navigation (newspapers, magazines, books, offers), promotional pricing, and a theme tailored to Gulf News branding. Shoppers can browse new arrivals, children’s titles, and cookery books, then add to cart with Magento’s native checkout.
Results
- Live Magento storefront for GN Media at store.gulfnews.com
- Catalog covering print, magazines, books, and subscription offers
- Custom Codemez Magento theme aligned with Gulf News branding
- Promotional pricing and new-arrivals merchandising for campaigns
