Re-design the look and feel of Wetsuit Gear and use that design as a springboard for Kite Gear.  Have both sites use a single administrative back-end to streamline order processing.

Solution

Wetsuit Gear is an online store that sells wetsuits and drysuits for all sorts of needs.  The site was a few years old from when I originally put it together with OSCommerce.  The client wanted to create a new store for selling kite boarding gear in addition to a refresh on wetsuitgear.com.  Instead of creating two separate instances of OSCommerce we  opted for Magento.  Magento has a fantastic amount of features out the box compared to other ecommerce platforms and it can be setup to run multiple sites from a single admin.  The client logs in at a single point and can manage orders, add products, view reports… all from one place.

Re-design existing website’s look and feel and add better usability and functionality.

Solution

TriangleSings! is a user submitted resource for choral activities in North Carolina.  Although anyone can submit upcoming events or calls for auditions, there are more than 50 power users that login to the administrative back-end and create postings.

With this project I re-designed the existing website and imported migrated the existing data.  I added new functionality such as emailed event reminders and RSS feeds. The forms, calendars, and homepage layouts were revamped for better usability.  The multi-user administrative back-end was cleaned up to streamline both the creation process and submission approval process. Site visibility was greatly improved through the use of friendly urls and semantic markup.

The website uses wordpress with a custom design template.
