Re-Branding

In addition to re-branding, the owner of this growing comic book shop in California’s inland empire wanted to do something unique as far as comic book shops go – incorporate Microsoft’s Retail Management System (RMS) and tie it into e-commerce.

After planning out the implementation, re-branding the site was the first phase.  Sandia Digital decided to go with a WordPress foundation and develop around it, and came up with this design:

Here, the homepage features a slideshow using HTML5, which translates into full mobile compatibility and Search Engine Optimization. Furthermore, information such as gaming tournaments, movie group gatherings and product specials could be advertised and updated from an administrative backend without any need for coding.

Implementing Microsoft’s RMS into the site for e-commerce, while complex, works very well with the Shopify App “RMSify” – this essentially blends the shop’s back-end framework with the site’s e-commerce front-end, allowing any visitor to buy from the store.

As the owner expands into new territories, his site and e-commerce framework are easily expanded with his business.
