Live Webs Developed using Cobra-cms

The Seven Oaks Hotel is a long established hotel three minutes walk from the centre of Carlow town. The hotel has had a large extension completed in August 2006 and wanted a new Web site to offer more information about the hotel and the local area.

The hotel has a Health and Leisure complex called Greenbank, so the decision was made to promote both aspects of the hotel's activities on the same site. Cobra was used to provide two menu systems, one for each part of the site. Also, because of the ease of site maintenance, much more detail is provided for potential customers, such as current menus, restaurant prices, room rates, etc.

The Home page has a simple javascript slide show, which makes the loading slower but the hotel believes that it is a attractive feature for their clients.

Patrick Randall is a well known artist who has been living in Co Kilkenny for many years. His work has been exhibited all over the world. The aim was to produce a showcase for his work on the Web, with sections for current work and a retrospective. The site uses a combination of traditional and Web standards techniques.

Cobra-cms has been used to make the site instantly updatable, which is very important in a gallery situation..

School Uniforms Direct is an on-line store developed using Cobra-cms and the cost-effective Shopping Cart called RomanCart. The store deals with approximately fifty schools, with up to twelve items of clothing per school. Add to this the range of sizes per item, the weight calculations for postage and the variable VAT rate depending on size and the project is interesting and complex.

It does show that Cobra-cms can be used to develop a small to medium sized on-line store that can be fully updated by the owner him/herself.

Askea Girls' National School has kindly offered to participate in a project to see how Cobra-cms can be used to develop a school Web site. Their original site had the usual problem of being virtually impossible to update without always going back to the original designer. They will be working themselves on the development of the site from June 06.

Cobra-cms is an ideal solution for schools, because it provides a cost-effective Web site that can be maintained and developed in-house.

CD Consultancy is a Carlow based Management Consultancy company. The site is a four page brochure site, designed to be simple with a fluid layout. The site was developed using Cobra-cms, so it can be edited and expanded easily by the company. The design is adapted from the work of Eric Meyer in 'More Eric Meyer on CSS'. The semi transparency of the banner is created by using three css images, which is impossible in conventional design.
