Hardings Jewellery (UK)
Website Design- Oct 2008
Hardings Jewellery, a new company based in the UK who sell high end jewelry (that’s why the word jewelry is spelled different in their name), contacted me to design their website. This was a very enjoyable and challenging project in which I got a chance to make use of the power and versatility that the WordPress CMS can provide.
The Design
This website is packed with features. The client wanted a fully working E-commerce site to sell their products that would encourage potential clients to put trust in their knowledge - an essential part of selling high end jewelry. A brand identity was already designed, so I was ready to use this to its full potential and add some great technical functionality.
Because this site was built using Wordpress as a Content Management System (CMS), Rachael and Chris can log in to their site and update their inventory, add content to pages and edit aspects their site without having to know a thing about web design, all the technical work is taken care of!
Key Features:
- Wordpress CMS
- Mootools sliding category menu and space saving page devices
- Full e commerce system complete with special offers, smart shopping cart, AJAX powered images and loads of other features
- Spam protected AJAX contact form
- “Buyers Guide To Jewellery” with illustrated information on everything from assessing diamonds to ring sizing
- Javascript slideshow with easily replaceable images
- The usual web standard XHTML and CSS
