Castle Gibson Furniture

Castle Gibson specialise in reclaiming old furniture - bringing damaged or discarded sofas, bookshelves and other items back to life for a new generation of owners. They decided to move the sale and hire of their furniture online.

Our brief was as follows:

  • Implement existing designs from an external designer
  • Code the front end in standards-compliant HTML and CSS
  • Build a dynamic website to display a database of catalogue images
  • Provide Castle Gibson with simple tools to upload and configure the display of their images
  • Create a contact form for web enquiries relating to individual items

Once the initial build was under way, we expanded the brief and built in additional functionality:

  • A shopping cart system that enabled browsers to indicate interest in multiple items
  • Cookies set to remember a visitor’s selections even if they left the site and returned later
