James Blake Internet Launches New Interactive Website for Kit Raider
Kit Raider appealed to us because they wanted to showcase their passion for outdoor sports on a visual level. Their auction website acts as a platform that allows sports enthusiasts to sell their equipment for any number of outdoor activities including sailing, skiing, climbing, cycling, canoeing, kite-surfing, kayaking and more.
- (1888PressRelease) March 03, 2013 - While the client already had their website design in place, they required a development agency with professional and experienced web developers to make it fully functional both for the user and the administrator. Being a full service agency we had to think about what would work best for Kit Raider in terms of providing an eCommerce website which is both attractive and user-friendly.
The client wanted it to be built to certain specifications and its functionality to be divided into four different areas including:
- Administrator
- Bidder
- Buyer
- Seller
We created an admin panel so that from the moment a user logs in to the back end of the website they can manage banner adverts as well as users, content and any products from this area. On the website itself we developed a 'Search products by category' section to make it easier for users to find what they're looking for and a product category module so users can browse through each section at the click of a button.
A 'Subscribe' button for the newsletter section also makes it easy for users to receive information and news updates about the latest Kit Raider products. Another exciting feature we added is the 'Kit Raider Recommends' module, that consists of recommended auctions from the Kit Raider team. The live 24hr clock makes the web pages feel active and alive, so this is in keeping with the theme of the website.
On the homepage we added a gallery widget so that users can browse through the product range and find what appeals to them. For added peace of mind we also created a secure payment portal connected to PayPal so users can safely make transactions for their purchases.
With added social media functions which direct users to Kit Raider's latest Twitter feeds, visitors will get a fully interactive and unique user experience every time they use the website.
What did we think about developing the Kit Raider website?
Speaking about the project, the JBi account manager said, "With a well-designed website from our clients, we were able the follow the brief accurately. Our web development team and project managers worked with the KR team, holding meetings at our offices in London and over the phone to make the needed requirements."
