Santons deFrance USA

www.santons.net

Santons deFrance USA is the largest distributor of the santon collectables made by Marcel Carbonel. Carbonel is the foremost craftsman in the centuries-old tradition of hand-made santons. The client was dissatisfied with its out-of-date website that had powered their growth for years. It was difficult to manage and the images did not represent the fine workmanship of Marcel Carbonel. Furthermore the images were not differentiated in the various size options. Another problem was that the old site did not accept credit cards securely, forcing customers to use PayPal as the only checkout option. Adding a sense of urgency, a new competitor was making inroads with a cleaner site, better SEO, and smart use of social media. The solution was to create a new site to better showcase the product line, to enhance usability, and to improve visibility. The site was created using responsive design to make sure it rendered properly, regardless of the users device. New images were obtained from Marcel Carbonel and secure credit card processing was added, using a new online shopping cart. As the project progressed, SEO techniques were incorporated and new Facebook and Pinterest pages were created and linked to the site.

Lennox Insurance and Financial

Lennox Insurance and Financial provides investment planning services along with group and individual insurance and benefit programs.

The site provides fast access to self-service client accounts. It also gives easy-to-follow links to relevant information on external provider websites. One challenge was to embed a secure log-in feature on the home page to take clients directly to their remotely hosted investment accounts. Since they are licensed financial advisers the site also had to meet strict regulatory guidelines.

Stained Glass Express

Stained Glass Express is one of the nation's largest distributors of stained glass and supplies. In business for 25 years the company needed to revamp and upgrade its website to incorporate advanced SEO features and better showcase its many products and services. Furthermore the database used by the old website was out of sync with their retail POS system. Thousands of products had to be brought in line to establish consistency between the two main channels. The project required launching the new site in parallel with the old site. We had to create new content, transfer email and customer accounts, and migrate data. The site runs on X-Cart e-commerce software and includes calendar and slideshow elements. The site is used to announce events and classes in addition to regular product promotions.
