hawaiian shirts Aloha Vintage

Aloha Vintage Hawaiian Shirts - PC Mojo Portfolio - Web Design with MOJO - PC Mojo - Client Sites home < portfolio < aloha vintage hawaiian shirts Aloha Vintage Hawaiian Shirts Description: www.alohavintagehawaiianshirts.com Site used to sell collectible aloha (Hawaiian) shirts of every vintage. Purpose: The client has an extensive selection of collector quality Hawaiian shirts to sell. These are NOT just 'normal' vintage shirts, many of them are featured in books about the subject! Budget: PC Mojo doesn't disclose budgets except in very general terms. This web site was published for under $2,000. Web Site Size: Medium. Due to the extremely limited availability of quality vintage Aloha shirts, the client expects to maintain an inventory of between 120 and 200 shirts maximum. The PC Mojo Solution: All original graphics were designed. Because this site has a distinctive focus on Hawaiian shirts, we tried to use a tropical theme. Jungle flora adorns the top and bottom corders, and woven bamboo strands border both sides of each page. We think it looks cool, yet isn't so distracting that it detracts from the quality of the shirts. The site is hosted on a on a Windows 2000 server. The backend database is ODBC for the time being, and all programming for site administration, catalog maintenance and shopping cart functions was custom written using Cold Fusion. A custom shopping cart was developed for the site. The client is able to add a new shirt to the database and upload up to four pictures of each shirt by completing one simple form. Because these are rare and unique shirts, each image is reduced to a manageable size for display on the web pages AND the original image of any size is also kept. The reason for this is that the detail of each shirt is important, and anybody interested in purchasing one of these shirts won't mind waiting for a huge image to load on their screen if they can then see the details. So, even the 'teeny' images are 'clickable' to display the full size image. home | services | support | portfolio | contact us web design | web hosting | logo design | graphic design

FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Finding a Good Place to Eat When on Vacation Those of us who visit Hawaii have one common problem - where to eat. At home we all know the nice restaurants for that special dinner, the local places for good Chinese or Italian food, and even the hole-in-the-walls which we like to think only we know about. When we come to Hawaii we are clueless. We may read Frommer’s or Fodor's and get an idea of what's available, or buy a good book like Robert and Cindy Carpenter's Hawaii Restaurant Guide. More often we tend to eat at our hotel or someplace nearby that "seems" good or even look for the nearest Denny's or McDonalds. Too often we find ourselves spending good money for food that's simply ok or worse. I'll always remember that the worst Chinese food my wife and I ever had was in San Francisco's Chinatown. We had no idea where to eat, so we just picked a place at random. The food was terrible! Matthew Gray understood this problem very well. As an accomplished chef and food critic for the Honolulu Advertiser, Gray had eaten in almost every restaurant on Oahu. He knew that there were really good places to eat, but that there were also quite a few pretty bad places also. After over ten years of experiencing the good and bad of Hawaii's restaurants, Matthew and his partner Keira Nagai, who also had worked for years in the food industry, decided to start their own business to share their knowledge of Oahu's restaurants with those of us who know far too little. Hawaii Food Tours was born. Next...
