The Tomcat Insect Site was developed for Bell Labratories in the fall of 2009. This custom product catalog utilizes RadiantCMS with a highly customized extension that I created to allow for their home page to have it's JavaScript rotation. Having previously worked with Bell Laboratories the creation of this site went extremely smoothly. The end result is a beautiful product catalog/CMS hybrid showcasing Insect Control Products. Ajax drag and drop ordering of nearly all content on the site provides extreme flexibility during content display, and printer friendly style sheets allow for product pages to look good when printed.
