Pike and Western Wine Shop is a Seattle institution, located in Pike Place Market just down the street from the original Starbucks coffee shop. They were in need of a website refresh and had some ambitious goals for content management capabilities, before WordPress was an option.
What I did:
- Defined the site architecture, created a visual design and built out their site by hand in HTML.
- Identified the variety of different content types that required self-publishing and the various users who would be updating the site.
- Located and implemented an open-source content publishing tool using Javascript and PHP.
- Identified a workflow for updating content and trained the owner and staff.
