Harlequin Domains is special in the way it designs websites
for clients. We do not offer 'off the shelf' packages, as we believe
that every client is individual and therefore has individual requirements.
To this end, we encourage you to chose a web designer from our team
that suits the needs of your business.
Web Design Examples:
Actinic E-commerce Version 6....... Betterbox are a traditional mail-order company who have just put over 7,500 products online for purchase.
The site was designed and built to mirror the printed catalog that BetterBox produce to minimise the transition from mail order to online ordering. The response from BetterBox and their customers has been fantastic.
Update: March 2004: Working from 1 single Excel sheet with all columns translated into German has allowed Betterbox to generate a second site, www.betterbox.de ... the third variant, their USA site is underway. Betterbox use Actinic Developer to build and licence sites.
Classic HTML: Dream Yoga .co.uk shows how Harlequin can take colours and images specific to your business and assemble a bespoke website specifically tailored to your needs.
Update: March 2004 - Dream Yoga after many requests from their customers have decided to put their accessories, courses / workshops and Yoga Holidays online using Actinic Ecommerce V6 with payments secured by PayPal. This has been a very cost effective solution and achieved creating custom Actinic templates to match the main site and adding a few products. A fairly simple process and one thats started to pay for itself.
February 2004 - Actinic E-commerce Version 6....... Patriot Offroad Store have long been a satisfied user of Actinic Software (V3, V4, V5) and have just upgraded to version 6 primarily to take advantage of the new HSBC Secure payments system available to Actinic Users.
Actinic E-commerce Version 5....... This is Just Mackintosh's first website and again uses Actinic Ecommerce software to provide the ordering facillities onsite.
All Harlequin Clients are thoroughly encouraged to edit their own website content and to this end Just Mackintosh are no different, we are sure they would agree its no easy task to produce something you are very proud to call your site, so well done Pat and Steve!
Actinic E-commerce Version 6.......Greenweld's stunning new website takes full advantage of many of Actinic 6's latest features and we are pleased to say that they and their customers are very happy with the end result.
***UPDATE- August 2003 - After much use and feedback from Greenwelds online customers it was decided that although the site was graphically very pretty and quite fast to load pages, all concerned wanted it to be EXTREMELY fast loading but still look great. To this end we have produced a brand new highly optimised version of the site including some new customised Actinic Templates not available for the earlier build. Also high on Greenwelds priority list was to break away from designing websites for people on 800x600 resolutions...it had to happen sometime.., Harlequin now designs all websites to suit as wide a range of resolutions as possible by expanding your website to match the browser its being viewed on.
Greenweld also benefit greatly from Norman Rouxel's Normenu Drop Down Navigation System for Actinic which automatically generates dynamic drop-down menus from your Actinic Database to allow one click navigation to any area of the whole site.
Custom
Templates for Actinic E-commerce All Versions: Whilst
the main graphical design for Tiggypig was done by another
company, Harlequin was employed to make the site more
functional using some of our custom templates for Actinic.
Of particular interest to Actinic Users are the Live Currency
Converter, a Review this Product area, Email this
link to a friend, and the use of the Normenu
Drop Down Navigation System for Actinic
We were also asked to optimise the pages for speed loading
with an overall gain of more than 60% !! WITHOUT losing
the very nice design. Go-on, call Mark and ask him...he
couldn't be happier :-)
