e-Commerce Sites
gafferDesigns has also developed for clients e-commere sites to collect membership payments or for selling on-line products offered by the companies. Our clients include:
Celini's Pty Ltd e-commerce website that is used to promote products sold through their outlets at shopping centres and on-line. The design required the ability for customers to see the effect of sunlight on the unique range of products that changed colour with the sun.
The overall aim was to quickly acquaint visitors with the product range and to see the colour change that could occur with each product.
The Civil Liberties Australia site has also incorporated into it a secure on-line membership and donation system accepting credit and debit cards as well as direct payments from a bank account and postal payments.
Similarly, a site for Dying With Dignity NSW was developed to also collect its payments for new and renewing memberships by credit/debit card payment only.
