The following examples illustrate some of our capabilities.

Modern Tea with Company:
This a a new E-commerce company in New York City that sells loose leaf tea products and catered tea parties. The owners initially wanted a static site with PayPal as the method of users buying the products or tea parties. However, after the web site was designed, they decided that they wanted a full E-commerce site. So the E-commerce site needed to be integrated into the existing design. As a result, the E-commerce portion of the web site is perfectly integrated into the site. The company has since gone out of business due to personal reasons and the fact that the site was generating more business then they could handle on a part-time basis. At this time, the e-commerce section is non-operational.
Columbia University Club:
A total site redesign. Members of the club can login and view the member list by school. This is driven by PHP and a MySQL member database. Features modern navigation (gone are the frames), all newsletters (past and present) available on one page with pull-down lists, current events (including past and future) available on one page through drop-down lists. Most events on the Events page have pop-up windows for event registration. An on-line member application form is integrated with a MySQL database. The new applications are sent by e-mail to the Executive Director and also entered into the MySQL database. Once a week the data is sent to the Club office and entered semi-automatically into their MS Access Members database. At that point, the on-line database is emptied to await the next batch of applications. Both the event registration forms and the on-line application have JavaScript error checking at the browser and PHP error checking at the host. There is over 500 pages in this site and it is a very complete "Club" site.

Just Tell’s mission is to reach out to youth who are being sexually abused in order to tell them that they are not alone, they are not to blame and should feel no blame or shame, and that they need to choose a trustworthy adult and tell them about the abuse.
Just Tell works to increase the percentage of sexually abused children who tell. We provide compassionate, reliable guidance to help these children tell a trustworthy adult. If a child wants to speak to someone anonymously, or needs help reporting the abuse, we offer our partner, the ChildHelp National Hotline. When children are in danger, we suggest that they call 911.

DRUPAL SITES (full Content Management)
OlivetPC.org
OlivetPC is the new website for the Olivet Presbyterian Church in Staten Island, NY. It is a full CMS site using Drupal. The website is finished but the church still has to add some information on some of the pages. This is one advantage of Drupal, in that the client can add data, photos, images ,at will, to the site from any computer at any time. The church has total control. In fact, they can add and delete pages, add and delete NavBar menu items, change the colors of the site or totally change the design and look of the site. The site has an events page where the administrator at the church can add/delete events and allow parishioners to sign up for events.

They wanted the re-designed website to be able to be updated and maintained by a nontechnical staff person. Lenox Web Design provided the ideal solution with Drupal, a full CMS solution. They wanted the site to be "to update for someone with no knowledge of the technical aspects of web design". The client can add/delete photos, text, pages and menu items at will from any computer at any time. The site has an event calendar, a blog, and can subscribe/unsubscribe to their newsletter. This is a double opt-in subscription. They can also develop and send newsletters directly from their website. The site has a number of audio files and a video file

Joomla SITES (full Content Management)
The client had a boring, clunky site that did not have a shopping cart, even though they sold products online. They used 40 separate tables to connect to PayPal - one table for each product. All pages were static HTML and the client could not update the products on the site.
The new site was designed by a graphics artist and our job was to implement the design within a CMS system with a real shopping cart. The new site uses Joomla as the base and VirtueMart as the shopping cart. Many aspects of the shopping cart needed customization to make the cart look like what the artist and client wanted.
