Global Teck Worldwide, Inc.

Website Design and Build

July 2002

Global Teck Worldwide is a Florida-based reseller of telecommunication, teleworking, phones, conferencing and other equipment for the office. The project started out as a brochure idea, but blossomed into a more robust site. The client wished to have the site resemble the Apple Store online because of its clean design and navigation.

Starting from that point, I created a box style layout where the navigation was similar but had its originality throughout. Although it's typical for clients to ask for another site's design, I refrain from copies as a designer, but discover what exactly the client likes about that design.

The focus of the main page is to spotlight products: specials, new, etc. The pages are templated and the products in each section rely on XML, XSL, and IHTML. Since there was hardly a budget, the ability for shopping cart interaction has been pushed off, and the client drops products they showcase into assigned XML folders. We also host their site.
