Priory Woodcrafts - A case study
Priory Woodcrafts are a small craft outlet based near Edinburgh in Scotland. Producing a wide range of turned wood items, individually built to customers specifications, they approached nakedWeb about the possibility of building an online gallery of work.
The specification required an uncertain number of pages
of information about the operation, including pages detailing the types of wood available at varying times of the year, a contact form to
allow visitors to make enquiries and provide specifications and not least a gallery of completed works.
In order to make the portfolio of work easier to view,
we decided to split the system into a number of galleries each manageable by Priory themselves and so enabling new items and galleries to be
added as works are completed.
Each gallery is completely controlled by the site's administration system including the order in which the images appear and
associated captions describing information about each item.
To satisfy the client's requirement to continually
update the site content, the entire website structure is stored in an access database. Each page can be modified using a straightforward
What You See Is What You Get editor and changes are visible immediately on the live site. Pages can be added, taken away
and easily re-ordered as required.
