CHICAGO, Aug. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Lyons Consulting Group, the award-winning ecommerce strategy, design, development, hosting and support firm, announced the launch of their latest client site, www.CraftArtEdu.com.
Craft Media Network wanted to create a space that would allow world class artists to share their skills and techniques with others. The new site provides a space for craft and fine art instructors to teach a technique or project in “virtual classrooms” where their students can learn at their own pace, in a supportive environment with personalized feedback from their instructor.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide an outlet for artists to connect, learn and share,” said Vernon Ezell, Co-Founder and COO of Craft Media Network. “The new site is extremely intuitive, flexible, and fast – something we could not have accomplished without the dedicated team at Lyons.”
In order to provide the flexibility required, Lyons Consulting Group migrated the site to the Magento Community platform that already has a wide range of features and functionality. In addition, Lyons Consulting Group built several custom integrations which allow artists to not only create personal profiles that showcase virtual classroom sessions, but also provides the ability to share these sessions through different social networks such as facebook and twitter.
“The concept of selling virtual products, such as instructional videos, is a somewhat unique concept for online retailers so this project was definitely exciting for our team,” said Rich Lyons, CEO and Founder of Lyons Consulting Group adds, “We are thrilled to be a part of Craft Media Network’s transition to a more flexible and robust site.”
The site is currently being hosted and supported by Lyons Consulting Group’s in-house 24/7 support center.
