Nautical Living

When Nautical Living approached Web Foundry to propose ideas for their website the challenges and issues were all too familiar. The original site had very limited Content Management capability, restricting functionality and creativity.

The solution we offered removed all these barriers and limitations. The new e-commerce website fully integrates with PayPal and enables dynamic control over all content. The client can easily add any number of new products and organise these into categories. Images can be uploaded quickly and managed with ease. A nice touch is the automated generation of thumbnail images for listing pages - a great timesaver.

The website uses different design templates, which, in conjunction with stylesheets, control the look of every single page and offer a high degree of control over the branding of their site. Recent additions include home page ticker tape for news announcements, a gallery control to showcase new interior design ideas and media pages to show off the high levels of publicity this business now enjoys.

Navigation controls include a breadcrumb trial as well as dymamic multi-tier menus. Other controls include a site wide search. The website is built to optimise at 800 x600 screen resolution and uses XHTML transitional coding. All pages are now being optimised for search engine rankings, again using the capabilities of the Content Management System
