New England Trail Riders Association

Type of work:

• Custom Membership Database (servicing over 3,500 Members)
• Graphic Design
• Shopping cart/Store
• Ruby On Rails Programming
• Membership Login
• Forum
• Custom Content Management System

About: Without a website NETRA could flounder. Before CRWC became involved the site served to simply to get basic information out to its members. It was cumbersome to navigate and maintain. However, after CRWC, members and those interested in the organization could easily get information regarding the next race, results and news.

The site forced the team at CRWC to think outside the box. This site contains hundreds of pages including a forum. With the rigorous racing schedule, race details and results and the need to constantly change information on the site, we had to create the new site (in beta testing) in coordination with the live site. Everyone was really looking for a way to take the site to the next level.

We put together a graphically appealing site that everyone could navigate. We produced web applications that would enable sponsors to advertise on the site. Code was written so that upcoming events would be kept current without the assistance of a human. CRWC also worked to redesign many aspects of the site which proved to take the site to the next level. Club links, news, a store, and rule books were added. And over the past year, on-line membership capabilities have been added.

Crossman Engineering

Website: www.crossmaneng.com

Type of work:

• Graphic Design
• File Management System
• Ongoing Site Maintenance

About: This site can be described simply with the word “evolution.” Originally they were just looking for an informational site to get rid of the “Under Construction” page that had plagued them for a long time. With the newly designed site their business started to expand and with that expansion their needs of their website also grew.

What started out as a basic site where just information was presented transformed into a place where those working for Crossman as well as their clients can login into a File Management System that CRWC designed and move around large architecture files.

This feature is used in many aspects of their business because it is fully customizable and gives them the opportunity to do business at a much faster rate and save money. Before the implementation of this system they were forced to email these large files which did not always go through or they were forced to spend a great amount of money to overnight files around the country. Crossman can make changes to their engineering designs and have them immediately accessible/available to multiple users.
