Complex ordering system

If you have ever ordered or made a pair of curtains then you’ll know how complex a process it is.  We built a complex curtain ordering website allowing for all sorts of permutations.  There is also a clever order management and back office system supporting all sales activity.

Please see case study detail on how we developed her curtain ordering website.

Bespoke Curtain Ordering Software

This is an example of a website for which off the shelf shopping software would not be able to cope.

If you have ever ordered a pair or curtains you will know how complicated it can be.  You need to know about pattern repeats, drops, width measurements, pelmet pleats, flop overs, piping, poles, tiebacks, voiles, cushions and how to calculate it all in an instant for the online user.

As this was a redevelopment of an existing site the client had a sophisticated set of requirements not just for curtain calculations but also delivery management and accommodation of standard e-commerce products.

So we developed a bespoke e-commerce website.

The site accommodates:

  • Made to Measure Curtains, Roman and Swedish Blinds, Quilts, Cushions, Upholstered Chairs, Sofas, Wallpapers and standart products.
  • There are lots of additional options where relevant such as options for second lining fabrics, border fabrics piping, buttons etc.
  • Includes multiple payment options including phone, cheque, PayPal, credit card.
  • Sophisticated delivery management allows for split deliveries for orders containing mixed product types such as a sofa and a free sample. Dynamic Postcode calculator offers cheapest postage options.
  • Includes back end call centre order entry and CRM.   All fully updateable via bespoke CMS

Built from the ground up with SEO in mind,  this is the only fully SEO friendly curtain website in the world as far as we know!
