We met with Brandon at TOPCOR Offshore, Inc. to discuss building an ecommerce site in order to streamline selling one of their products: DynaGard. What is DynaGard you ask? The answer is simple. It is a rigid, composite shell, molded to various sizes to fit on pipes, mostly used within the oil and gas industry. The shell attaches to the pipes and isolates the pipe from its support, preventing rubbing and distress to the pipe itself. See? Simple. And really effective!

Brandon wanted to set up a system that would allow them to distribute DynaGard to their many domestic and international clients easily. We opted for an e-commerce site that gives them complete control over the product, inventory, shipping/taxes…while we handled the zillion other facets that make up an online store.

For the design, we created a modern but clean look and added a Flash billboard to show immediately how simple the product is to use. We also did some product photography for them, recreating their installation document and creating individual images for the product variations.

All in all, it was great working with TOPCOR. Brandon and Maralyn, our contacts, made a very detailed process very easy and enjoyable and Drift was able to create a solution to make their jobs easier.

I have to say, I really enjoyed building this site. Mostly because of the cool people at Geauxing Places, and mostly because of all the cool places they’ve been!

Geauxing Places approached us about building a website for them. They are a travel agency located in Denham Springs (right by the Whistle Stop Cafe on Range) and, quite simply, they want to make your travel experience easy and fun. They needed a website that captured their unique outlook on their business: vacations are supposed to be fun, not work! We opted for a site that lists out many of their different options, as well as a blog, so their viewers can keep up to date with travel tips, specials, and their own team’s travel adventures.

We wanted the website to reflect the main question they got asked, which is “why do I need a travel agent?” The answer is simple. Travel agents are able to arrange for each facet of your vacation, be it travel to and from the airport, the vacation itself, excursions, entertainment, dining or lodging. They take the work out of planning a vacation and allow you to enjoy your time away. Also, they often act on your behalf with the vendors you are booked with, so if something does go wrong, they are working towards a solution on your behalf.

Consider calling them the next time you have to travel, even for business. They gave this designer a great tip on where to stay when I flew out of New Orleans on a 6:00am flight. It saved me from waking up at 3:00 am to drive to New Orleans, pay for parking at the airport and play the waiting game for two hours. Not bad at all!
