E-Commerce/Content Management System

Rx Wellness Center delivers custom branded nutritional supplements for independent pharmacies nationwide. As a part of their service, they provide a semi-customized website for their client pharmacies. With over 400 individual pharmacies, each with their own unique domain name, Wellness Works needed a system that could manage content to be shared by all pharmacy sites (including a fully functional product catalog with e-commerce capability) and allow the pharmacies to have unique content and a unique graphic design.

To meet these requirements I created custom content management tool to with a full featured administration tool to dynamically generate and maintain pharmacy sites. Since the sites are very graphical a web based HTML editor was integrated to assist in content creation.

In addition to content management and e-commerce, customer management and reporting was a necessity. In order to keep Rx Wellness Center in touch with their customers, I developed an email list management tool for sending both automated and manually generated email messages. In order to track sales and pharmacy performance a custom sales statistics program was created.

E-Commerce

One of my most recent projects is The Moxie Buck. The Moxie Buck is an online clothing retailer that markets women’s novelty t-shirts. I built the site using a streamlined version of osCommerce. The site utilizes CSS to achieve a clean contemporary look.

E-Commerce

The Texas Music Store is an online retailer of Texas based music. The Texas Music Store was in need of a full featured e-commerce solution that would lend itself to their business process. In addition to physical products such as CD’s, The Texas Music Store also needed the ability to handle downloadable content such as MP3’s. My dilemma was to develope a full featured e-commerce solution on a budget. In order to meet both the feature requirements as well as the budget constraints I decided to use open source software (osCommerce) as the platform.

Out of the box, osCommerce is a very full featured e-commerce solution, however it did not quite meet the needs of the client. In order to satisfy these needs customization was necessary. I added several features such as cross-promotions, coupons and gift vouchers, page creation tools, and many others features that enhance both the customer’s and store owner’s experience.
