AutomotiveTouchup.com Case Study
Company Information
AutomotiveTouchup is a company which sells touchup paint and supplies for all makes and models of consumer vehicles. For this project, WebNola was tasked with taking an existing design and implementing it into a valid, tableless layout which would essentially serve as the store’s template. The layout would also need to stretch vertically to accomodate content, and work across Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, and Safari. The new template has been implemented and looks great!
Challenges & Solutions
The largest challenge WebNola faced on this project was in the left-hand navigation bar, which needed to stretch and expand when the links were clicked, while looking good at all times. The problem was that the background image was repeating at seemingly random intervals.
This was one example of a problem which required a hefty dose of good-old trial and error to solve. It took a few hours of tinkering and trying different workarounds, but at the end of the day it just required an old-fashioned rebuild to get it working perfectly!
Overview and Conclusion
It’s always a challenge to make a template valid, tableless, AND work in old browsers like IE6; but again, WebNola was able to prevail. The template we built is now in use in the store which serves large quantities of car paint customers daily.
