This was the most unique part of this development project. I programmed a custom framing and matte tool using ajax. For any poster, you can choose to 'see it framed'. A popup of the poster is shown will all applicable frames and mattes (controlled in the admin). There is also the option to view the item with frame only and no matte or cropped to the image part only. The client preferred frame and matte are initially shows which is also controlled in the admin area. The website customer can click on different frames and mattes to find their preferred look. All text and pricing is updated automatically using ajax - there are no page refreshes. Pretty sweet!
Check out the framing tool » Click on 'see it framed'. Try selecting a different frame and matte or select frame only no mat or crop to image.
The client can add categories and a category can have any number of subcategories. Each category can have an image and can be marked as a gift category to show in the gift ideas section as well as several other important fields.
A product can be in one or more categories and can be either active or inactive. The product can have a ship category which is then used to determine the cost for shipping. The product also has associated frames and mattes as well as the client's preferred combination. A product is either on sale or it is not, and has an outer dimension and an image dimension which is used to calculate the size of frame and matte needed should a shopper want these items.
A person can find a poster by entering keywords or by viewing all posters by a particular artist. View search page »

There is an area in the admin area that allows the client to set the percentage off and the programming on the front-end creates a special category that includes only the items marked on sale. These items also show in the applicable category section as well. In the shopping cart, these items are highlighted as being on sale.

From each item detail, there is the option for a website customer to tell a friend about a product. They simply click the 'Tell a Friend' button and a popup form allows them to enter one or multiple email addresses and a message. An email is sent to the friend(s) complete with link back to the item.
A website customer who has a Poster of Santa Fe account can add any item to their wish list. At anytime, they can transfer items in their wish list to their shopping cart.
A website customer can create a Posters of Santa Fe account. There is a secure login that provides the following capabilities: resetting their password, changing their email list preferences, managing their address book, viewing their order history, filling their cart with wish list or clearing their wish list The address book feature is cool because it saves a returning website customer time when checking out because they simple have to select an address title from a drop-down (for example: home, work, school address). A website customer is encouraged to create an account when checking out but they can still do a quick checkout if they don't want to create one.
