Watch Uri Foox’s presentation at the Magento Imagine eCommerce Conference
Previously on the blog, we mentioned that Pixafy’s President Uri Foox spoke at Magento’s Imagine eCommerce Conference on a panel about tips for boosting revenue. Uri’s presentation is based on a blog post, “7 forgotten pages in Magento… and how to make them work for you,” which focuses on pages that are often left out of a company’s design and marketing strategy.

Recognizing employees who excel every day
Our Rewards and Recognition program has been letting peers herald the great work of their teammates for almost a year now, and it’s been inspiring to see why people get nominated over the past year. Two of our relatively new hires were honored in recent months as the program continues in the new year. (more…)
Welcome to our new site!
Two years ago, Pixafy launched a new site with branding and design provided by our great partner Red Antler. At the time, Pixafy was still relatively new, and we had less employees and completed projects to tout. That’s certainly changed, and with our plans to appear at the Magento Imagine eCommerce conference, it was time for a refresher. (more…)

Karaoke night brings Pixafy staff together off-hours
One of the great things about working at Pixafy is that the environment is friendly. Despite working together all day, it’s a common sight to see staff get together for a lunch, or meet up for after-work activities such as dinners or, earlier this month, a karaoke night. (more…)

A ‘Grand’ way to photograph our team
A photo from our October 2012 photoshoot at Grand Central. Seen from left: Christopher Deneen, Jason Alpert, Eric DiPalma, Sean Buddy, Raechel Boston, Caroline Gabriel and Tariq Chaudhry.
As part of the photoshoot we completed earlier this year, we decided to herald our New York location by bringing the staff to Grand Central Terminal to take pictures. It was a fun process, with photographer Megan McGory capturing everyone individually and in groups, as well as a few portrait-style shots of some of the team, such as president Uri Foox. It was a fun way to break up the shoot and bring a bit of New York into the company photos!
We’ve put up a Facebook album featuring a few of the shots, and we’ve updated photos here and there (including a couple of the other Grand Central shots on previous blog posts); look for an updated staff page, coming soon, which will feature the photos we took during the shoot!
Being rewarded, and honored, for hard work
Pixafy continues to celebrate the hard work and ingenuity of our staff with our monthly Rewards and Recognition honor, celebrating the efforts of employees that go above and beyond to find elegant solutions to our problems. (more…)
When there isn’t safety in numbers: A security lesson
Pixafy staff listen to the introduction to the security lesson.
An oft-repeated statement is “trust no one.” When it comes to securing something in the world of IT, it’s especially important, and has been the subject of much discussion.
That was the subject of a session on security of web applications led by President Uri Foox. Two-thirds of the company’s staff attended the voluntary session and broke into teams to learn how one simple decision can lead to a complete breakdown in a website’s efforts to keep people out. (more…)
