Client: A USA based Manufacturing Company
Opportunity
Our client required a pc/browser based widget for a company promoting their line
of Spas and Hot Tubs. This widget would help enhance the company’s brand and would
also lay emphasis on relaxation and a healthy life style.
The widget would remain active on the desktop, and based on the users profile, would
display any or all of the following:
- Healthy Lifestyle and Relaxation Tips
- Series of images relating to health exercises and relaxation
- Play soft or relaxing music
The branding element would be subtle. It would allow the user to learn more about
the company’s product line, and locate a dealer nearest to them.
Solutions
Web Spiders developed the widget application along with a back-end CMS module. The
CMS module provides the Admin User an easy means for maintaining and updating content
displayed to the end-user by the Widget. The content is as described – text, images
and music.
The application was optimized for the different Windows versions as well as for Mac.
The dealer search functionality, based on Zip code, was integrated using a third
party web service.
The widget allows the user to personalize its settings according to convenience.
