For a long time AJwatches was hosted on 'instant-e-commerce' service, without almost any control over the look and totally no control over mechanics of the store.
Site was succesfully migrated to absolutely new, independent and controlled by owner hosting - all of the 1500+ product listings and 2500+ images. Migration was completed without access to filesystem and database. Top Google standing of the site remained after migration.
Now AJwatches.com is customer friendly, modern looking website with convinient payment system.
Website uses strongly modified and improved eCommerce solution developed by me.
Roubini.com is updated daily, and as a part of a team I work to present the information available on the website in the most convinient, appealing way.
I am also assisting with design of presentations and email marketing templates.
The US Gold & Silver LLC company is relatively young succesfull business in the heart of Midtown Manhattan working in precious metals industry.
Although the site looks lightweight and clear it makes visitor understand that the business is well respected and time-proven, and this was the main goal for me - to keep up with the trends but keep the big company's serious look. Simple, yet attracting reflecting header is implementation of that idea.
Website is not only informational portal but is a tool for interaction with the customers, allowing them to know the current prices offered by the company and recieve updates dynamically.
Kipliani.com is one of the websites that uses one of the 'instant-e-commerce' solutions. And that made website customizing task a real challenge.
However the look of the website was seriously modified, large amounts of content were added. That allowed to dramatically increase customer flow on this once-startup web store.

AJwatches has a big amount of items in stock. Unfortunately, CMS store was created on, did not have tagging system.
Such a system was developed on later stages of development by me. It gives customers a way to access all of thousands of items using set of filters, and quickly find items in the store.
Not less important, system is easy to maintain by site administrators. This is main advantage compared to filter and tag systems used in other eCommerce solutions.
Business environment of US Gold & Silver company demands that prices change every day, according to precious metals market.
Providing live prices via website, Email and SMS subscriptions is very convinient feature that many customers enjoyed.
Price is calculated every day as soon as market value changes, and is automatically sent to clients. No actions from company staff needed.
I have worked with numerous Content Management Systems, developing plugins and extensions for them.
Especially big experience I have with old good osCommerce and its branches, and with my favorite Wordpress
