Nachcity is the website for urban styles and expressions

Posted on: March 10th, 2011 by James Cluff No Comments
Internet Business Consulting Services (iBCScorp.com), headquartered in Saint George Utah recently completed a website for Nachmedia (www.nachcity.com). The site was completed in a wordpress CMS allowing them to control and post new content. Ignacio from New York specializes in “Media that ranges from watercolors and computer vector graphics, to oils and pencil sketches covering a wide range of urban styles and expressions,”.  The Nachcity website features worked based experience growing up in Brooklyn New York and Panama City Panama. Nachcity.com exhibits the artwork of Ignacio Foster Jr. (aka. Nacho). Ignacio wanted his site to better communicate his vision of art and the previous site was too hard to manage. Some of the unique aspects of this artistic wordpress website is the sliding menu bar allowing for long pages to not loose the menu, this is not standard in WordPress.  Also made it so that the images could be added by Ignacio directly, and easily navigated by users.  There is still more to come! iBCScorp rebuilt the site from a frames based website into a Content Management System (CMS) using WordPress. This enabled the client to better manage and update the content on their own. iBCScorp also did some minor redesign work on the site based on the client’s request and also helped to make the site more visible online for better SEO. iBCScorp is a web development company based in St. George, Utah.

FreedomTravel4You.com uses iBCScorp to build an agent management system

Posted on: October 14th, 2010 by James Cluff No Comments
FreedomTravel4You.com is in the business of selling travel through outside agents. One of the problems they have had in the past is that they have not had a back office to support those agents. iBCScorp.com developed for them a back office management system which manages those agents. At the time they where a multilevel marketing company. So custom PHP programming was done to record agent profiles into a MySQL database. The agents then where able to add their own recruits as well as see their down-line for everyone they had recruited into the company. Later the company changed to not be a multilevel company and some additional features where added. This was done using the popular Cake PHP framework. Some of the additional modules include:

Vendor Management

Administrators are able to add, edit and modify the vendors that their agents use to sell travel. This is beneficial for those agents, for the internal staff because they can put all the information the agents need into the vendor system rather than taking calls from those vendors. It also is beneficial for SEO purposes for people who are looking for an agency who deals with the particular products carried by those vendors. Additional functionality we would like to add which was not in the budget included better search features, browsing and even being able to purchase from those vendors directly online.

E-Commerce

Agents are able to sign up and sign up other agents directly including recurring billing.

Online selling of travel

Somewhat unique to this site as apposed to other non-travel sites is the ability for agents to directly purchase/or sell travel online through an online booking engine. When the travel is sold, the agent has the opportunity to include a markup on that travel for as much as they would like.

CMS Features

Wordpress was used to provide the content management system. This is an extremely nice benefit for an agency trying to promote itself in the online world. It allows them to add and manage content at will including posting new travel deals, hot travel sites, travel tips, or whatever other creative ideas they can think of.
