Vine-Works website

Introduction
Unhappy with their previous website, Vine-Works approached me to help them redevelop their site. The key aims were to improve the presentation, and also make the maintenance of the site easier for them, as they manage this in-house.
At the same time, Vine-Works had slightly updated their branding, so it was a good time to reflect the new fonts, colours and logo on the website.
The site was constructed on WordPress, as the Vine-Works team are already familiar with this platform and find it easy to use. WordPress also offered the ability to easily add additional functions such as e-Commerce to the new site due to its flexibility and scalability. The new website uses a bespoke Theme with a wide range of templates, with the content organised in the WordPress dashboard using custom post types.

e-Commerce
Vine-Works sells various vineyard supplies, and they wanted to extend their website to include an e-commerce section to allow them to make these products available to buy online. We used the comprehensive wooCommerce to provide the functionality, styled with bespoke elements to help this section integrate well with the website as a whole.

Jobs listing
Reflecting the fact that Vine-Works occasionally has vacancies that they would wish to advertise, we devised a pair of templates that would allow us to list the current vacancies, and give full details of each job, together with an application form/CV upload function.

Responsive design
Responsive Web Design (RWD) allows a web page to be displayed differently depending on the size of the web browser it is being displayed on.
RWD has become essential for today's websites as the amount of mobile traffic now accounts for more than half of total internet traffic.
