Heimerdinger Cutlery.com Screen Shot
In Mid 2008, Heimerdinger Cutlery got together with Louisville Web Group to not only bring about a change to their existing webstore, but to overhaul their entire business. Breaking everything out into several stages, the culmination of the project(s) has come to bear fruit for the world to see. HeimerdingerCutlery.com is now live, and racking up more and more sales every day! (more…)
Century Beauty Webstore
The Century Beauty Webstore project was primarily a redesign which incorporated javascript and installation of a blog on the site. It started off as a heavily customized OsCommerce installation that wasn’t working quite right (and looked pretty gaudy). Customers could purchase items, but ancillary parts of the system were out of wack. Besides the redesign to remove the 5 tints/shades of mauve, we were tasked with bringing the inventory system up to spec and integrating the other parts mentioned above.
The site is currently running just fine over at Bluegrass.net. Century’s internal server updates/receives updates on product information and quantity, the warehouse receives an automated printout of all sales orders straight from the store software, and customers are purchasing at a greater rate than before. While the store is limited to Salon professionals, there is now an expanded area of the site where non-professionals can get beauty tips, product updates, etc. via the blog. I’ve even integrated Century Beauty’s MailChimp newsletters into the site so members can review past promotions and non-members can catch a glimpse of what they’re missing.
MCTA screen shot
Web redesign and updates for the Montgomery County Tennis Association. Their previous site was about 5 years old and was pretty clunky. The old site was done with tables inside of tables inside of tables… which were inside of tables. I reworked their site hierarchy (it was larger than it currently is) and helped narrow down the pages that their membership would actually need. The site was built on top of a custom-built CMS system built about 5 years ago by Bluegrass.net
XHTML/CSS recoding for the CMS system, Javascript sliding on homepage, XHTML/CSS recoding for webstore (SunShop), collaboration on webform for New Players page (XHTML/MySQL – input/output to Excel)
Louisville Web Group
While working at Louisville Web Group, it was decided that we needed a new site to help refresh the brand’s image and bring in new customers. With an eye towards SEO, I set out to build a larger site involving social networking and blogging – bringing LWebG’s site into the present and ahead of many local competitors.
The site incorporates the WordPress blogging platform outfitted with a number of plugins to make the site into more of a CMS. Multiple template files were created for the different layouts and sidebars seen through the site. The homepage incorporates random PHP scripts to pull in the video testimonials and featured sites dynamically as well as the main title image being dynamically set depending on the time of day. During the morning you should see a “morning” photo of Louisville, during the day see a daytime image, etc…
I also installed and configured the forms and support software on the new site, as well as am the primary maintainer of the LWebG Twitter account.
I am adding and configuring e-commerce software as well to allow clients to pay invoices online and for potential clients to sign up for hosting accounts. Hopefully those items will be available in July 2009.
