The latest project completed at Black Hills Web Works is a new website for Legends and Legacies, a local furniture and accessory retailer in Spearfish, SD.
According to their website Legends and Legacies specializes in “custom, one-of-a-kind furniture and accessory pieces, ranging from handcrafted log furniture, custom sofas and chairs, dining sets and bedroom ensembles to complementary accessories such as rugs, Native American art and wildlife prints, candles, pottery and lush throws.”
A virtual showcase for products
The primary purpose of their website is to showcase the unique and beautiful products they sell. This was accomplished in several ways.
The front or home page (see the above screenshot) has three separate slideshows that automatically rotate through a random selection of photos. With sixty photos to choose from, the variety of potential combinations helps to ensure that the content will stay “fresh” well into the future.
The product showcase is divided into four areas — living room, dining room, bedroom, and accessories — and each area uses “pop-up” photo galleries to allow clients to browse through the wide variety of furniture and accessory pieces and collections available at Legends and Legacies.
Additionally, the website features an interactive, embedded Google map for directions to the store, a welcome letter from owner and founder Janet Frame, and a contact form.
Social Media and other details
In today’s world social media can be important to the success of any business, and we’ve set-up a Twitter account and a Facebook fan page for Legends and Legacies, and registered them with the Google Local Business Center. In the near future we’ll be showing them how to use Twitter and Facebook to start making connections with clients, friends, and others in their community and around the world.
The website is powered by the latest version of Joomla!, a Content Management System (CMS), and is based on the Infuse template from RocketTheme.
The website can be found at www.legendsandlegaciesllc.com.
