Atricles from Web Design by Gaynor Tilley

Bournemouth will be celebrating its bicentennial in 2010. Next year marks the 200th anniversary of the official founding of the town. I have recently completed a website which gives you an opportunity to buy pictures from the past showing scenes across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. Visit www.thepastinpictures.co.uk.

The e-commerce site was built using ZenCart and customised to fit the customer's requirements. The site has a SSL (secure sockets layer) to help protect customers information sent via the web and uses PayPal for payment processing. The pictures are available in 3 sizes and categorised according to area or key landmarks and the era in which they were taken. The search facility within the site also allows you to look specifically for keywords such as transport or fashion. Close ups of the photographs are shown using a lightbox effect.
