John Klinnert, JK Sports' founder stated, "We initially chose Warp 9 on the basis of their comprehensive features alone. However, early in process, we were so impressed with their suggestions, portfolio of work, and knowledge of e-commerce best practices, we engaged them for graphic design services to re-design our site as well."
In addition to new aesthetic improvements, the new JK Sports website will feature new search engine friendly webpage and URL construction, an improved navigation system that enhances product visibility, and multiple paths for consumers to shop by brand, category, position played, search, etc. Product page enhancements include wish list, product zoom, product review, and product-to-product navigation.

Harinder Dhillon, Warp 9's CEO, commented, "JK Sports dedication to servicing the sports community with dedicated and knowledgeable staff is epitomized by their founder, John Klinnert's decades of dedication and ongoing involvement to the high school and collegiate sports community. His recent appointment to the Minnesota State High School League's Board of Directors only serves to amplify this commitment. The new website's advanced e-commerce capabilities will serve JK Sports well in continuing and accelerating their double digit growth pace."
