The company uses top line materials to make their products, such as marble, pewter, and brass. The products are directly sold in the market without any involvement of third party.
Business Situation
The Client wanted to enhance the current look and feel of his website. Therefore, to meet the current market requirements and enhance the usability of Website, Client contacted Q3 to fulfill their needs. Client required the Homepage of the website to be designed in such a way that the user can grasp a glimpse of all the features of the website right on the Home page.
Some of the challenges associated with the project were:
- Layout structure implementation as per requirement
- Placing of most features on home page
- Attractive design
- Display of products with all required features
Solution
Q3 came up with a dedicated team of developers and designers to build a solution based on Client's requirements. The team analyzed the requirements and designed the application to ensure that all needs and objectives were covered. The View module was implemented to display all the required features. The CSS and HTML were used to increase the layout and images and graphics were used to improve the visualization of the web site. The complete look and feel of the website was enhanced in such a manner that the user can grasp a glance of all the features on the website on the Home page itself. The Home page of the website provides links to navigate to the product catalogues, search products, register and login into website, view shopping cart details, new product features, link to perform live chat and testimonials.
The other revamped screens other than home page on the website are Catalogue, Newsletter, Create New Account, Login, About Us, Affiliate Program, Return Policy, Privacy Policy, and Links.

Customer Speaks
Digital Canal Corporation is a software development organization located in the Midwestern US, specifically Iowa, where we have limited technological resources. Q3 has been a very good business partner for our company and I wish I had found Q3 sooner. Q3 Technologies has helped us to transform our business by increasing our product development capabilities such that our clients receive more software products at a faster pace than we were capable of producing ourselves previously. In the world of software, speed, quality and delivering on time are keys to on-going success and I am happy to say that Q3 has helped us achieve this to date. I would recommend Q3 to anyone needing development assistance. An added but important consideration is that the personnel at Q3 are also friendly, helpful and caring making the communication easier than I was told it would be. Q3 has helped our company and I would recommend them to others.
President, Digital Canal Corporation.
