Web Site Design Portfolio
ComputerAxe's portfolio of Web sites is growing. Visit these sites today:
Powder Works is a small powder coating business located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. This new business needed a web site to highlight how powder coating works and to show why it's better than priming and painting on metal. Constant inquiries about the process of powder coating suggested that a web site could be used to great advantage in educating customers. To meet this need, a question and answer forum was implemented on the site where anyone can ask questions about powder coating. Also, an image gallery shows the great finishes that are achievable with powder coating.
The Lancaster Kennel Club of Lancaster, Pennsylvania needed to consolidate two existing Web sites into one site that portrayed the club's mission of sharing information on pure-bred dogs. A clean interface sprinkled with a few high-quality dog pictures details the club meetings, dog shows, dog training, agility matches, and outreach efforts.
A bobbin collector wanted to showcase her antique bobbin collection online. These antique wooden bobbins played an important part in the early textile industry as they were integral to the mechanized production of thread, yarn and cloth. Since her collection had grown so large, Becki also thought it would be great to sell a few of these handcrafted wooden bobbins to other antique collectors. Information about the bobbins and some early textile mills is catalogued in a database that can be easily updated with new information.
An artisan and gift shop owner wanted to establish an online presence for her original line of handcrafted jewelry. Images of the beautiful sterling silver jewelry containing precious and semi-precious gemstones are showcased in a gallery. Details about the items for sale are stored in a database for retrieval on the individual Web pages. The shopkeeper uses a private maintenance page to update the database contents so that her newly created jewelry items can quickly be seen on her Web site.
This fun hobby website is kept fresh with a rotating collection of the day feature. Ease of management was important in this design. A simple change or addition to the database makes it a simple task to add or delete products, activate or deactivate seasonal products, and modify the descriptive text for each product.
