Blue Ridge Machinery and Tools came to us seeking a major overhaul. They had been online for quite a few years having built their own website in Frontpage.

New Shop Talk Forum

the old Frontpage website

More and more of their customers were becoming regular Internet users so they felt it was time for a more professional site. The owners actually admitted that they were embarrassed by their "Frontpage" website and asked us to give them a fresh, new look... the sooner the better.

Keeping in mind that the owners still wanted to manage their own site, we put them in a new Joomla website and placed it on our Joomla friendly hosting servers.

The newly redesigned website features some flash elements, a "Shop Talk" forum, an automated newsletter, RSS, and more, while integrating with an existing independent shopping cart. Most of all, it's even easier now for the owners to manage their website than it had been before. Training took approximately 2-3 hours and Blue Ridge is now in the 21st century!
