New site, calculators, maps & API's
Update software driven calculators
Solicitors / Law
We all like to know what something's going to cost and sometimes we need to input various values to be appraised
of the costing. Complicated software calculators take values and check those values against look-up tables
and other criteria to show you the result. Our task was to update calculators based upon location and other
values and calculate percentages based upon the framework that could be used to display the final totals.
We used a combination of JS and PHP to create additional custom functions that would work within the calculator
software.
Build MVC quote system
Machinery Dealer
Using the Code Igniter MVC framework we built an end to end quote system that calculates the quote values and
outputs a client ready quote. The build involved the creation of custom views to step through the quote creation
process that would query a connected controller that in turn would query a model. The values entered were
calculated through a series of custom functions that returned the result to the view.
Certain look-ups to underling data such as customers and types of vehicles were connected to enable the system
to use existing data. The resulting quote could then be emailed, printed and saved for later use.
Collect information and post to industry API
Travel / Leisure
As we all know when booking a holiday criteria such as dates, number of people and accommodation type are all
inputs before we can book. We were tasked to create custom code that would take the entered input through
a filtered form and submit that to an industry standard API to retrieve and display bookings details and
availability.
The first part of this build was to create a filtered list that dynamically queried data by passing that data
to a custom PHP class. The view included lists of data that could be changed and selected that fired events
to call upon the data retrieval store. The store functions would query the API and return holiday information
based upon the sent criteria.
Multiple Google maps controlled through software
Solicitors / Law
In a multiple office organisation the contact page can become very busy especially if you want to display maps
of each location. Through the use of Javascript and some PHP we created a single page office location map
showing all the offices over the covered area. Each office map pin had a custom event of when clicked would
dynamically change the view and show a close up location map with that offices details.
New website
Signs and Graphics
No one would argue that with the pace of technology and SEO that a new website every few years is a good idea.
Commissioned to build a Wordpress driven heavy graphic based site was going to take all our optimisation
skills to ensure the site delivered to expectation. With years of experience in custom Wordpress builds we
were excited to be involved and show our skills.
We stripped down a fresh install of Wordpress and installed our custom code allowing for simple building blocks
to be used across the site. Creating custom Javascript where needed to ensure the responsive design looked
great on all devices. After SEO checks and further speed optimisations we launched the site to the clients
host.
