Steve Allen Children's Furniture

www.steveallen.co.uk

Steve Allen is a furniture designer and manufacturer specialising in children's furniture. Previous web exposure for Steve's company was limited to a uncompleted site that had been in the same unfinished state for a couple of years. The aims of the site were to keep his retailers up to date with his latest ranges as well as promote them to the general public.

Features

The main section of the site is the show room pages featuring the various themes of the children's furniture. A flash movie allows the panoramic room set photos to be viewed in a scrolling pane and the visitor can click on any piece of furniture that catches their eye. Javascript is then used to seamlessly update the page in order to show further information and high resolution images about the selected furniture.

A content management system was developed for this site in order that Steve and his staff can update the details of the various ranges and products from an admin section with no need for my intervention.
