Introduction

Rolgear is a family owned company in British Columbia, Canada that manufactures and produces a full line of ratcheting screwdrivers. The Swiss founder, Robert Suter, invented the patented technology of his roller type ratchet. Unfound in other ratcheting tools, the Rolgear screwdriver offers single-handed application, including a silent and smooth ratchet with forward, backward and neutral positions.

This is an E-commerce website that was created with the theme Enfold on WordPress.

Process

Creating a Base Template

The website was created on WordPress the theme Enfold was used. This website is an e-commerce website used to showcase and sell power tools.

Slack and Google Drive

Throughout the project, I used Google Drive to save files and images between the team members and clients. This meant making sure the documents and images were properly organized.

I communicate with everyone through Slack in order to provide quick comments and feedback.

Logic

While creating the website we had to make sure we stuck within the brand guidelines meaning using the colors green, orange, black and white. I also had to make sure that the products being sold are connected to a payment process such as using Visa or direct deposit.

Solution

Overall, the WordPress website was created to help promote the company so customers can find them online.
