Swiss Railways Society
Case Study
Swiss Railways Society wanted as close to their old design as possible but with the added flare of integrated eCommerce so they could sell and manage their products easier.
We were instructed not to perform any drastic changes to their old WebPlus website layout, they wanted an almost carbon copy of the previous incarnation. We were able to achieve this with a custom WordPress site and built in a well needed upgrade to their eCommerce set-up.
With over 100 pages the site is now easier to manage and their dedicated webmaster has commented on how easy it now is to keep up to date.
WORK
WordPress Web Development & eCommerce
I had originally built the Swiss Railway Society’s web site using Serif WebPlus incorporating Serif’s Web Resources for password protection of part of the site. When Serif announced that they were closing this facility I realised that we had to move forward. Searching for somebody to convert our website to a WordPress based site, Flying Cows Labs came up and I contacted Neil. I was quiet happy with the “look” of the existing site and Neil confirmed that the new site could still look and function in the same way. We were happy with his proposals and Neil liaised with us throughout the planning, building, testing, and implementation of the new site, which now incorporates a proper e-shop and is, of course, fully responsive. The Society is really pleased with the new site and the e-shop is generating many more sales than the old one. Neil explained how we could do all the changes and updates ourselves after the handover.
