Project: Create eCommerce Store for Microsoft Position: Creative Director, OMIX, Inc. Year: 1997 AKGold Responsibilities:See below
AKGold Accomplishments (Description by Andrew Gold):
I created this eCommerce site for Microsoft and Wood Associates in 1997 while Creative Director of OMIX, Inc.
Microsoft was searching for a way to centralize its brand merchandise for employees, marketing, corporate gifts and tradeshows. Wood Associates presented a solution to Microsoft and then turned to OMIX for our expertise.
This particular site did not feature a turnkey transaction system specifically because the majority of orders are handled by account representatives and the mechanism that we created allows Microsoft employees to place their order and then they are immediately contacted.
Wood Associates and Microsoft wanted to make a really fun site and from the design analysis I produced the concept and then the colorful figures. While not complex, it serves its purpose well and presents a solid solution that was both cost effective, easy to implement, and fun to navigate from a user's perspective.
While sites today have advanced, back in 1997 this was leading edge.
