Néve is a cool company creating awesome sweaters out in Colorado. They are also making sweaters for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard teams for the upcoming 2010 Olympics. How cool is that? You can’t be knitting sweaters for Olympiads and have an outdated website, so Néve came to our partners Brew looking for a quick site refresh before they do a complete overhaul of the site. Brew came to us for help with the design and development and the rest is sweater history.

The site and CMS were build sometime in pre-history and do not address the actual needs of Néve at all. The backend of the site was developed in ASP.net and was a bear to work with. The CMS was unable to work with multiple categories for products so as a workaround we were forced to actually hand-code most of the site with hooks into the backend to display the product selection.

We whipped up a quick modular Flash-based slideshow player, overhauled the CSS and worked with Brew to refresh the design and that’s was that. All in all, the site was turned around in less than two weeks.
