Rainkist

Futai/Rainkist is the world’s largest umbrella manufacturer but their old site make them look ... well ... the exact opposite. Our job was to make umbrellas look good, really good. And to give them an website that worked for them. Rainkist origionaly had an account with an online agragated promotional product website that didn't do their awesomeness any justice.

Rainkist was of our favorite projects, a little long but well worth it. This site was a seemless integration of a custom back end for product adminsitration and WordPress for content pages.

Front end:

• integration with custom backend and wordpress
• Integration with third-party logo imposition app - Technologo
• Product zoom feature
• Fast Ajax/jQuery product filtering system
• Product search
• Integration with UPS for shipping estimates

Backend:

• Complete custom backend
• Tons of Ajax/jQuery to make user experience a non-typical boring admin
• Drag-n-Drop Re-Ordering of products
• Import/Export CSV product management
• Smart auto-detection for product status
• Dynamic high/low resolution image download page

Cool note: Futai/Rainkist is also the most recognized leader and pioneer in the industry. Holding over 50 patents, Futai produces its own components in 22 fully vertically integrated factories worldwide.
