Visual Workplace is Quality Methods International's main website. QMI is a manufacturing efficiency consulting firm, whose clients include Rolls-Royce Aero space and Lockheed/Martin.
A simple, clean interface was desired to reflect the focus on the Visual Manufacturing consulting QMI does.
The site features a simplified implementation of OsCommerce open source shopping cart software. It also has a member's area section, available to users after they create an account.
The entire site is built through central site control files – CSS for all presentational elements, and site programming for page construction. The pages are templated, for extremely easy updating of the site. All HTML is done in XHTML 1.0 transitional, error free.
We had to do a full rebuild of this site after another web designer delivered complelely broken code to the client. This whole problem could have been avoided if our client had put the delivery of error free, validated code in the contract they made with that designer as a requirement for payment.
We are hoping to be able to do a full redesign of the site sometime in the future to make it better reflect the nature of QMI. Currently it retains some of the weaker design elements, such as the header and left navigation.
