JenTekk is pleased to announce the launch of LIDO Skin Care – an eCommerce website solution developed with Joomla 1.5 CMS and VirtueMart.

I met Sarah, A smart, sweet and ambitious young lady, at Bikrams Hot Yoga.

Before and after classes we discussed her goals of one day starting up a company and selling her own line of 100% natural skin care products.

As a friend and business owner myself, I was excited to help Sarah make her dream a reality.

Side by side we took the journey together… discussing what it took to start-up a business, registering her business name, her .com and .ca domain names, securing a reputable host and finally strategizing the development of her website, including the use of Joomla CMS, her site’s look & feel, and possible eCommerce solutions.

Before – preliminary mock-up

Attached was a preliminary design…
