drupal case study: bella pictures goes live

We’ve been working for a while with Bella Pictures to develop a new wedding photography Drupal site, and it went live Tuesday 3/30. Visit at www.bellapictures.com. The site allows couples to select, schedule, and pay for wedding photographers online, greatly reducing one of the major hassles of wedding planning. And with a network of certified photographers throughout the US, Bella is able to sell high quality, local services via the web while also centralizing and automating administrative tasks such as billing and scheduling. Achieve Internet’s work on the site was focused mainly on architecture design, integration services, and custom Drupal development.The first part of the engagement actually involved designing and developing StudioBlue.com, a site that offers direct-to-consumer, budget wedding photography packages. After that site’s successful launch, we turned our attention to BellaPictures, the flagship site. Some of the notable features of BellaPictures.com include: back-end integration with Salesforce.com, Ubercart modification to allow for multiple coupons and product attributes, and automatic payment plan integration with Authorize.net. We also helped develop an important part of the user interface: the portfolio section. As any photographer knows, the portfolio is usually what makes or breaks the sale. On Bella’s new site, potential customers are able to search for and view local wedding photos in a highly interactive fashion. We’ll be sharing more details about this project soon. It’s been a pleasure working with BellaPictures and we’re happy to see the site in action.
