Wetsuit Gear & Kite Gear

Goals

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.
