WAA recently commissioned a new website for a product coming to the world of gardeners. The Aquapod is an automated irrigation system that is designed to be extendable as your garden grows. hozelock-aquapod. com was developed using the PHP-WAX framework and is also taking advantage of Wildfire CMS for administrative purposes. The site uses Google Maps for showing location of users' reviews and also is also used to give an effective illustration of places to buy the Aquapod.

A recent project was to create a full e-commerce solution for a local aquatic shop. They already had an online store, using a heavily butchered version of OsCommerce. The brief was quite vague, basically to recreate all the features they currently had, and also to improve the Search Engine Friendliness of the site. A design was signed off, and so the work could begin on Aquatic-Store. co. uk I have previously completed a couple of projects using Ruby on Rails, and thought this new project would be the perfect opportunity to create a e-commerce application using the powerful RoR framework.
