Their existing website had been in existence for nearly six years and the company felt it was time to create a new, more flexible website to serve their two separate Australian and New Zealand branches as well as to allow for future feature expansion into responsive design and ecommerce features for warranty and extras retail. The site was built in Drupal 7 with Domain Access to handle the different territory sites and some custom code to handle the businesses peculiar product catalogue.
