Project Detail

Following an internal marketing email campaign Workshop Heaven contacted Centurius with a view to developing their new online ecommerce tooling web site within the latest version of the Actinic Business ecommerce (v11). The initial development had been started by the client but due to time-constraints they required our services to assist in the further development of the site.

From initial telephone meetings with the client Centurius formulated a recommendations document for the client outlining creative design points, layout suggestions as well as possible plugins to enhance the site once live. Workshop Heaven did find one of our existing templates to be a prime candidate for the new web site layout so we then created a number of flat visuals for the client to give clear representation of how we envisaged the site to look, which included their brand, corporate colours as well as product photography.

From design sign-off Centurius worked with the clients existing snapshot, integrating our template and customising the layout templates. Multiple section link templates were created to allow customers to buy immediately, if they required it. Alternatively if the product contained components or attribute then the section link template simply displayed a view now button, so there were no misalignment issues. Workshop Heaven requested the product details pages used the Actinic Extra Information template thereby making savings on upload times for the software. These were customised and implemented.

Once the development work had been completed Centurius supplied Workshop Heaven with the snapshot, however as additional support we kept our development server live allowing Workshop Heaven to continue to work and upload to a live space.

Testimonial

“We searched long and hard for a design house that we felt we could work with, Centurius felt ‘right’ from the very beginning and continue to do so.

Centurius invested the time to fully and completely understand our concept, they made relevant and appropriate recommendations and provided ample space for us to change our mind after seeing a series of mock ups. Once the design was finalised, they produced the site with astonishing speed and accuracy.

We had no intention of asking for an ongoing support contract at the outset (quite the reverse), and it was not a service that Centurius offered at the time. However, the benefits of having such a wealth of expertise on tap and the cultural fit with our team made it the natural decision to take, so we found ourselves asking them to provide this service for us.

With Centurius you are very much a client, as distinct from being a customer, and I believe it is this that makes them stand out from the crowd.”
