VINCENT FLOORING
Wordpress bespoke Website theme design and build
WEB DESIGN, WORDPRESS,
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Vincent Flooring needed a concept that conveyed what products and services are available to the customer. "Above and beyond flooring" explains that the customer will get more than a wealth of flooring options when they visit the showroom, for Vincent Flooring provides a variety of products and services. Along with the concept, the client needed a new website to accurately show the customer what they provide.
The second phase of the project involved launching a working e-commerce part of the website. Here the customer would be able to browse and purchase various flooring options. In order to make sure the customer purchased the correct amount of flooring for their needs, a bespoke Area Calculator had to be designed and developed.

CHALLENGES
During the build process of the e-commerce side of the project, I did not anticipate the number of options that needed to be taken into account when designing the area calculator. As the items were added, I had to adapt rapidly to any changes that arose and clearly relay them to the development team to make sure that this did not impact development deadlines.
