Project Overview...
Slick Fairing's, formally motorcycle fairing's, came
back to us once again, this time to redesign and redevelop
their existing shopping cart which they originally
had developed by us 18 months previously. They had
become so successful online and expanded their product
range so much they needed to expand their website
considerably. The search facility had to allow visitors
to easily search fairing's and panels, not only by
make and model, but all engine size. Once a fairing
was found they could then view much more information,
including up to 12 further images. The site needed
to be user friendly as well as easy to maintain through
a comprehensive Content Management System (CMS) system.
The Brief...
- Clean, crisp design reflecting
the quality of the fairings
- Provide comprehensive search
facility for each manufacturer, model and engine
size
- Allow up to 12 images per
fairing or panel and allow product to have many
variations
- Ease of use for customers
to add items to the basket
- Customer registration process
to flow and also be informative
- Basic search facility to
work by product name, SKU and description
- Information should be accurate
and up to date
- Fully manageable in-house
after initial set up by developer
- Site should work on all
browsers
- Detailed site visitor statistics
- Database population of initial
400 products

The process...
When you contact us regarding development work we
will discuss your requirements with you, finding out
what you would like and what you actually need. Once
the initial concept is laid out we will email you
with the specification and cost of the project. We
will then advise on what to do next, what merchant
account to go for (if applicable) and which information
we need from you. If you would like us to deal with
any third parties, such as printers, accountancy software
companies etc. we will contact them direct. We find
this easier for all concerned as it saves, not only
time, but also any misunderstandings.
Once we have the go ahead from yourselves we will
start to put a design together. We host this on a
staging area so that you can see how it will look
like once live on your domain (web address). Once
the design is agreed, we then start to build the rest
of the website
Timescales...
You will be notified at the beginning with estimated
timescales.
Not sure what type of website is best for
you?
For a no obligation quote
or for an informal chat,
give us a ring and someone will be more than happy
to talk with you and go through all the options. We
promise we won't talk gobbledygook either!
