'Waltham Abbey Books – Reflections of the Past' have been selling books about the town of Waltham Abbey for a number of years. In 2008, they approached Advanced Web Designs to develop a website and enable them to establish a web presence for the next book to be launched during 2009.
Waltham Abbey Books are a prime example of how a small business can take advantage of our easy to use and cost-effective, yet top end Content Management System (CMS). As well as the Content Managed elements on books, there is a large photo archive from the past where people view and add their comments. To prevent visitors from printing the photos, our CMS automatcially adds a 'watermark' to the photos on upload without the neeed for any 3rd party software.
The search facility allows for people to find themselves in the photos as well as other information such as schools and photo year. There is also a built in e-mail campaign system so the site author can issue a newsletter to anyone who is signed up.
In addition to the Content Managed areas, there is an online shop to purchase the books themselves. Worldpay has been integrated into the site to allow for Waltham Abbey Books to quickly and simply receive payments. |
