VoiceStoreOnline while still a work in progress is a showcase for our new shopping cart system. We hope to launch VoiceStoreOnline live in the new year. It's goal is to provide a one-stop-shop for consumer based IT products, primarily voice and video solutions.

The site was developed with an awareness of the customer's need for after-sales service and support. To provide this functionality, the site includes a support system featuring a users forum and helpdesk ticketing system.

VoiceStoreOnline is currently going through final testing, including final stage payment gateway verification.

X9 Owners & Riders Club

The latest generation of The X9 Owners & Riders Club web site is now live. The club is dedicated to the Piaggio X9 - a maxi-scooter (large scooter), but cater for other marque maxis as well. The X9 web site been established for a number of years and has gone through many permutations, once almost disappearing off the web for good! Most recently it was hosted in three seperate places; it's forum, an Invision Power Board paid for hosting setup, it's site on the site admin's personal webspace and the gallery on one of the forum admin's personal web space. We approached the club admins and offered them consolidation. A self-managed, Joomla! based front end site with an SMF forum providing the community facilities.

The decision to change to this software was to bring the total administration of the site into their own hands, rather than an outside host, plus they can now integrate all the content of the home pages and the forum into one coherent site under one domain name.

The existing IPB forum was shut down and had it's database converted to SMF over the course of a matter of hours, an unprecidented feat, considering the amount of data involved.

BAPO

The British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists asked us to re-build their site from the ground up. Several key items were specified for the site: A much improved users forum, which was met by the installation of a heavily customized version of the popular Simple Machines Forum software (SMF) and an interface that would be somewhat familiar to and easily navigable by the BAPO membership.

Add to that a dual-cart shopping section to facilitate the purchase and renewal of memberships in the organization and to buy tickets for BAPO's annual conference and the site really is a one-stop-shop for prosthetists and orthotists the world over.

We were also to provide a system whereby BAPO staff members could update the site pages themselves, including the ability to add downloads for the public and private members. This was achieved by providing BAPO with Adobe's Contribute 4 software, so they could manage the site from the desktop, without having to alter, edit or learn any HTML code whatsoever.

Networks 2 Business continues to work with BAPO staff, providing support and maintenance where necessary.
