CuriousWines.ie Launched

Michael Kane of CuriousWines.ie had a spec for his website that looked like a €25,000 custom back end job. Working with ecommerce goddess Katherine Nolan, we were able to pull 95% of his wishlist out of the bag with a heavily hacked off the shelf ecommerce system for a tiny fraction of that cost. We also added some very cool features like product tagging and reviews along the way to create a nicely dynamic site.

They’re launching with a very cool giveaway contest for Christmas, and a special 24 hour discount code on Twitter, too!

    Sit back and admire what you’ve just created, just for a second. It’s stunning, and I’m a happy, happy chappy.

    You might be a teensy-weensy bit cranky before you get your coffee-fix in the morning, but you’re also quite, quite brilliant.

    Told you I’d be your greatest ever achievement! ;P

  2. Matt:

    As I said earlier Sabrina, you have done an amazing job. Surpassed what I had envisaged from the start. Apart from looking the part, functionality is outstanding.

    You have created one of the best e-commerce sites in Ireland, and by quite a stretch, the best wine site.

    You rock American girl!

  3. Annie:

    That site looks great – it totally reflects the company name and is really pleasing and fresh to the eye. Nice one :)

    Hmm.. where is this super secret twitter code? I followed but not seeing it?

  5. Sabrina Dent:

    Hey Heather -

    Sorry, there were some bedding down issues with the checkout system, but they’ve got it running and tweeted it now – it’s 10% off your total order, calculated at checkout. Just enter TWITTER as your discount code!

    Annie, thanks. It’s was a lot of fun to work on, and I’m pleased they’re so pleased. It’s always nicer to work with happy clients. Not that I get that many miserable ones!

    [...] live and it’s a corker (boom! boom!). Another stunning creation by the shockingly talented Ms Dent. I think it’s probably the best looking and most effective wine web-site in the country and [...]

    The site looks great Sabrina, well done. I am curious as to what off the shelf ecommerce system you started with and would you recommend it?
