Grand River to Redesign e-Commerce Web Site for Office Supply Provider
Nov 28, 2008 — Ann Arbor Biz News
Grand River recently announced a new client win, Discount Office Items, a fast-growing on-line office supply company. The fully re-designed Web site will feature enhanced user functionality and Web 2.0 tools including an AJAX cart. Ultimately, the completed project will allow customers to shop for their favorite quality office supplies and technology items at their lowest prices.
Grand River is an industry leading Web design and development company, specializing in e-commerce solutions for retailers and manufactures. The Ann Arbor-based business was selected for their unique focus on mid-size retailers.
"When searching for a Web site development company we came across companies that created high-end work for 'big box' stores like Home Depot and Kohls or very simple Web sites for small scale business, but nothing in between," says Tim Horton, founder of Discount Office Items. "The Grand River team provides our company with the best of both worlds, and fills that gap and provides that high end experience for a rapidly-expanding mid-size company like Discount Office Items. It really is a great fit."
"Discount Office Items has made huge strides as one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. Their focus on high-quality items at low prices with excellent service has been the key." said Scott Robertson, Grand River's vice president and co-founder. "The DOI team realizes the importance of usability and providing their customers with tools that enhance the shopping experience. Their new site experience will be as stellar as the company's core values, and will keep them coming back."
Founded in 2002, Discount Office Items offers consumers the lowest prices on quality office supplies, technology items and fun items. With more than 40,000 items in stock, it is the go to site for all office needs. For more information, visit http://www.discountofficeitems.com.
