Appliance Rescue An eCommerce site reboot before the Christmas period for a Shetland based electrical appliance servicing company specialising in the refurbishment of damaged appliances.

The Appliance Rescue site has seen a complete redesign inclusive of an online catalogue and eCommerce shopping cart facility. Specifically targeted at Shetlanders, anyone with a computer can now view and select from a range of household white goods. Payment may be made through the PayPal IPN Network with customers returned to the site after transaction.

The site utilises XHTML Transitional markup with CSS for styling and is dynamically generated using PHP Smarty templating. Administrated entirely from an intuitive back-end, the client has access to change / update their products as well as all web pages.

Overall the site has been optimised for search engines with SEO friendly URLs and adheres to the DDA: Disibility Discrimination Act 2004; viewable in a variety of browsers.
