Marathon Consulting Launches New SwimWays e-Commerce Websites for Consumers

Marathon Consulting, LLC announced the launch of two new e-commerce sites for SwimWays Corporation, a leading manufacturer of pool and outdoor recreational products headquartered in Virginia Beach. The initiative represented Swimways' first venture into online retail sales and enabled the company to begin selling their innovative SwimWays and Kelsyus products direct to consumers via the Internet. In less than 11 weeks, Marathon successfully developed and launched 2 e-commerce websites - www.SwimWays.com and www.Kelsyus.com. Both websites were fully integrated into SwimWays' ERP and Order Fulfillment systems, and were constructed using Marathon's search engine optimization (SEO) methodology.
