build a car website

esign and build a car website

After many months –seems like years, now- of hard an intensive work www.pscars.com is finally live.  It’s only the BETA version but at least we are live.  Sure, there are bugs that need to be fixed but a project of such immensity required to go live just to have more eyeballs to help sort out the multiple errors and keep the client from constantly changing his mind.  Most common of all, data base inconsistencies presented when trying to match up the mapping tools provided by Chrome services and Evox images.  As a result multiple car images appear as non available in the “Car Configurator” but hey, we still have more than 200,000 images to help any visitor make a car buying decision.

So what is Pscars from a car web design standpoint of view?

Basically it is a homepage, of which we did more than 65 versions pixel by pixel and more coming up.  Forty or more “flash” pages where we portray every single available car brand in the USA, from a Ferrari to a Toyota and even a Smart car.  All done manually car by car….phew talk about a lot of work.  And then every single showroom connects to a bigger piece called the “Car configurator”, which in essence is a RIA done in FLEX + Net that allows a user in a very visual manner to research, build and compare almost any available vehicle sold in the USA since 2001 to 2011. 

Here are a couple of screen shots of how the project has evolved from simple wireframes to quick mockups.
