Peanuts to Profits With Thor Schrock
Peanuts to Profits With Thor Schrock

Big Dog Wraps & Graphics came to Schrock Innovations looking for a website to sell their unique graphics and provide their customers with the ability to upload their own designs.

More importantly, Big Dog wanted a site that would stand out from the competition and show off their products. After some preliminary design meetings, Schrock presented a proposal that featured dynamic image rollovers inside a Goth/Skater styling using a dark gray & burgundy color layout.

Brad in our development center worked closely with Jana of Big Dog Wraps & Graphics to create the style and coloring scheme they were looking for.

To improve the site’s scalability, we created a flexible CSS design to work with the multiple page layouts. A main menu was created alone with a side menu to showcase products, make navigation easy and help customers she how easy it is to have unique graphics printed and applied to their vehicles.

Once the styling was done we designed and coded their online shopping cart. The shopping cart was designed to make purchases simple for the customers and to be easily implemented on the back-end.

The guys also took a number of calls during the show and covered a variety of topis. Some of the questions included:

• What kind of specifications should you look for in a good gaming computer?
• Should I use Norton’s Identity Protection or Internet Explorer’s ID Protection?
• Which is better in a camcorder? Mini-DV, VCD, or Hard Drive Based?
