The HIDE Group is a company based out of Senatobia, MS that provides generic agricultural chemicals at a discount price. Although they already had a web presence, they determined that it was time to give their website a face lift.
Interested in bringing their site into the 21st century, Spinning Kitty Entertainment was contracted to redesign and update The HIDE Group's website. A total rebuild was done using today's industry standards. Their site was built using valid XHTML and CSS. On the home page, Flash was used for the image switching. For the sales page, php was used to make the e-mail form work. The site is completely accessable, and degrades gracefully. For the Flash animation on the home page, if Flash is not enabled on the end-user's browser, no ill effects will be seen. Instead, a static image will be displayed.
The sales page includes a form that an end-user can fill out to contact The HIDE Group with any questions or comments that they may have. Once completed, the code formats and sends an e-mail to the proper recipient. The code is capable of sending the e-mail to one of many regional sales offices based on the address of the user. This system would insure that the closest sales representative was contacted, and it also eliminates a step for the end-user by keeping them from having to open up their e-mail client, find the proper e-mail address, and type the message to be sent.
A need for a content management solution was determined unnecessary by The HIDE Group as they do not plan on making any regular changes. Should they decide that they need a page updated, Spinning Kitty Entertainment will be standing by ready to help.
