March 6, 2004--Shopping-Bargains had two major objectives in engaging Mindseye for their re-launch. The first was to enhance and enrich the user experience and the second was to streamline the process of updating the site.
โ€œOur experience with Mindseye has been very positive. Their "can-do attitude" coupled with nationally recognized technical expertise and artistic talent made them the right choice for our redesign project. We were not disappointed.โ€ says Mike Allen Advertising & Sales Manager for Shopping-Bargains.com.
To enrich the user experience, Mindseye's creative team worked closely with Shopping-Bargains to create a look and feel for their site that would reflect the quality of their coupon code offerings as well as their family-friendly focus.
To ease the process of creating and updating content, Mindseye implemented the new site in their content management product, Mindseye Element. Instead of having to hand-edit every change and update to the site, content creators can simply submit additions and changes via simple forms and have their changes immediately reflected on the site.
By moving from a static site to a content managed site, Mindseye's team was able to take a modular approach to the site content, allowing site visitors to Shopping-Bargains.com more ways to browse coupon codes than would be possible within a static site. This allows visitors to browse in ways that make sense to them and thus significantly enhances the user experience.
Mindseye Element--Content Management Solution
Mindseye Element is an extensible, open-framework, database-driven content management solution, which allows content creators to publish and schedule content such as articles, products, and press releases on their website without touching a single line of HTML. Because of Element's object-oriented approach to content management, related pieces of content can be linked together, allowing for easy cross-selling, targeted information delivery, and reuse of content site-wide.
For Shopping-Bargains content editors, these features mean that they are easily able to update the website with the latest deals and savings from over 500 online stores. With browser-based "anywhere authoring", the Shopping-Bargains content team can update their site anywhere there is an internet connection and can make changes via simple forms, eliminating the need for a specialized web team.
