Working under Magelssen Media, ZByte provided web development services, creating a custom Wordpress theme from Sarah Magelssen's designs.

Brilliant Nutrition's product line consists of vitamins and mineral supplements, sold in supplement packs tailored around specific customer needs. So, if you're shopping for mineral supplements head on over to the site and check it out!

Development challenges on the site included integrating with a custom 3rd party cart solution, and customizing the Wordpress theme (mostly via page templates and custom post types) to create an easily maintainable website. The awesome flower navigation on the sites home page, was also a bit tricky to implement in a cross-browser friendly way. We created a javascript/jQuery solution, ensuring that the sites dynamic features work well across devices that don't support Flash (like the iPad and iPhone).

DSG Art has been serving art-lovers in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the Southwest since 1982. While they have been online for sometime, their previous web platform was becoming increasingly difficult and time-consuming to work with, and the website was in need of a redesign.

ZByte software worked with DSG to create a new look for the site, based on existing branding, and then built a custom content management system tailored around DSG's specific needs. Site visitors can browse DSG's art catalog by artist or collection, and explore an artist's work on speedy, AJAX-powered artist pages. Visitors can also print info sheets to carry into the gallery, and save their favorite artwork for easy access later.


Thank you DSG Art, and enjoy your new website!

 

]]>Cutmaster Music Launchedhttp://www.zbytesoftware.com/blog/2010/1/15/cutmaster-music-launched.htmlZach Lovelady2010-01-15T21:00:00Z2010-01-15T21:00:00ZWe are pleased to announce the launch of our latest customer project: Cutmaster Music. Cutmaster Music is a local Albuquerque DJ service that provides music, emcee-ing and entertainment for weddings, school dances, clubs and other events.

When we started the project, Cutmaster's existing website was a labor-of-love built and maintained by owner Chris Romero. The site had good, engaging, useful content but was in need of a stylistic overhaul. 

The completely redesigned Cutmaster Music is now live (screenshot below). We gave it a new modern and stylish look, while still preserving the unique, custom, and friendly feel of the previous site. We also added a whole slew of new features to help Cutmaster better connect with customers, including twitter integration, a cutmaster music blog, online events, a searchable music catalog (25,000+ songs!), and some other bells and whistles.

We'd love to hear what people think in the comments. And also, make sure to give Cutmaster Music a look when you need a DJ service. You won't find a friendlier or more professional DJ crew in the 505.
