Our Client
Learning a little about our client and their problems with their website
Who they are and why they needed our help:
DRC Publishing is a publishing agency based in St.John’s, Newfoundland that publishes fiction and non-fiction for adults and children and is interested in all genres. Their philosophy; “We love books and writers and we want to share the written word with the world”, speaks to who they are. They pride themselves on being personable with one-on-one interaction with their authors and offer them profit sharing.
Due to a server anomaly and that the client never executed any site backups they lost their entire website. They needed their site recreated in a timely manner and wanted a design that was fun, easy to use and that gave them the ability to sell their authors’ books online.

Our Solution
How we helped our client solve their problem!
An Easy to use CMS
After speaking with our client and understanding their needs we decided that using the WordPress Content Management System would work best. It is easy to use and understand, the dashboard is clean and straight forward and we also executed a few shared screen sessions with our client to go over the different scenarios they would be doing regularly so there would be no confusion once the site was handed over to the client.
Homepage Slider
Having a slider that displayed the most recent books published was very important to our client. We gave our client the slider on the homepage as well as different sections to feature different books by category, most popular, featured books, sales and more.
E-Commerce
Our client wanted to be able to sell their authors books online. We were easily able to give this option to our client to not only sell the hardcover copy of their authors’ books but also the e-book version of those books if available. The shopping cart platform is clean and easy to use.
Featured Author Section
DRC Publishing wanted a section to feature specific authors. They wanted to be able to list the author’s name and have a small bio underneath. We also gave them the ability to link a library of all the corresponding authors’ books so their users can see and potential purchase all the books that specific author has written and published in one location.
Blog
We configured their blog to be a pageless design that paginates as the user scrolls down the page with a right sidebar that shows recent posts and the different categories of the posts. Our client can post any news, book launches and book signings within their blog.
