This is from a couple of months ago, but Friday afternoons are built for catching up on stuff you’ve been meaning to do for a while so…

Some time back, we designed and launched a new site for Shore Excursions Group.  To say that their site and merchandising needs were complicated would be a fantastic understatement.  As a matter of fact, their needs called for a bit of custom development, which we provided in-house (as we always do).  Well, after the launch, we received a lovely email that we’d like to share:

“I just wanted to write a quick acknowledgment/thanks that Carson did a great job on an automation project we launched today.  As you know, Volusion wasn’t designed to handle a travel business that delivers its services well after an order is placed.  As a result, we initially had (to) do a lot of manual back-end work in order to confirm that vendors had the inventory available and in sending customers final confirmations and instructions for meeting their tours.

Carson did a great job in delivering the project as promised, and it will be saving us a lot of non-value added administrative work.  Thanks.”

Nothin’ fancy.  Just us doing what we do: using our mad Volusion ninja skills to save the world, one site at a time.
