"Chris is not only a very creative designer - but has good ideas about how to resolve the inevitable issues that crop up during the design and web site deployment process. He is enthusiastic and cheerful - always seeing the glass as half full - rather than half empty. Chris has a very admirable service orientation towards the customers needs - an absolute pre-requisite for success in this business"

Doug Towers
President
Winerytohome Inc.

Winerytohome had a very unique concept and business model; set up an online service that would allow customers to buy wines from any number of Ontario wineries and have them shipped to their door in a time frame selected by the customer. As only a small number of Ontario wines are stocked at the local LCBO stores, this would open up a market for the customer to select from each winery's entire product list.

The customer can search for wine by wine attributes such as type (ex. white, dry, full bodied), price range, or winery, and by food complement (what goes good with Spiny Lobster?). There are even regularly updated 'recommended assortments' aimed at helping make the customer's decision easier.

The Members section allows members to maintain a log of their favorite wines complete with tasting notes, view their order history and place previous orders again, as well as take advantage of current promotions.

Because Winerytohome has their own delivery agent, customers can choose the time and day (based on a two hour time window) that they want their order delivered. These delivery times are dynamically pulled based upon available slots in the delivery schedule.

The amount of information that visitors can glean from the site is extraordinary. All content is pulled dynamically from a MySQL database which is populated by a number of administration modules.

A multi-dimensional back office administration provides an admin for each participating winery in which they can add product, product details, pricing, inventory, delivery details etc. A main administration provides a Winerytohome administrator a secure area to add or change any content that is visible on the front end site as well as manage orders, member information, add new wineries and provide them with their administration, and much, much more.
