Kirkwood Quilts

The Challenge: Keep It Simple

Kirkwood Quilts collects and sells fine antique and vintage quilts. They needed a robust web site to showcase their ever-changing inventory and provide valuable, up-to-date information to quilt collectors all over the world.

What they didn't need was a maintenance headache.

Kirkwood Quilts' business is quilts, not web sites. Their staff has no knowledge of HTML. The primary design concern for their web site: maximum control for minimum effort.

The Solution: A Custom Content Management System

Behind the scenes of the Kirkwood Quilts web site is a custom-built content management system that allows any authorized staff member to add, delete, and change content quickly and easily. Nearly effortless administration - and no HTML knowledge required.

Kirkwood Quilts was able to:

Save money - no need to train employees or hire a web site administrator.
Keep their focus on their main business.
Provide users with a compelling reason to return to the site by continually updating the content.
Build a recognizable brand and establish trust with quilt buyers.
