The Joomla! Community Showcase ™

Site Profile

Description: Everyone wishes they could rep their pride on their sleeve. Kaos Lacrosse is creating an army of people that play harder and live kaotic! The ready for anything, toughnosed athlete. Our mission is to create a product that gives lacrosse players the opportunity to represent their passion off the field. A product for those that deal the big hit, run hard and pay the price on every ground ball. Apparel that represent hard work and determination. It's time to put away those pink and floral designs. It's time for Kaos!Case Study: After meeting us (Sysgen Media) at a trade show, Kaos Lacrosse contacted us to finish their website after a couple of terrible experiences with other developers. Their website had been partially built in Flash then left hanging for months. The owners of Kaos Lacrosse contracted us to salvage what work was already done and to finish their website.

Rather than building their site in Flash, we opted to transition the site into Joomla so that the folks at KaosLacrosse would be able to update their content, their catalog, and their photo gallery on their own. We took the existing graphics and flash files and converted them into a Joomla template, using sIFR to generate their unique text style.

The new Kaos Lacrosse website features rotating images on the home page, a catalog of their products, a very versatile image gallery, and the new Sysgen Media Store Locator.

In roughly three weeks we were able to accomplish what their previous developers couldn't in months... and they have complete control over their website.

Professional site, congrats.
Simple design, with very nice pictures and effects.
The homepage has very nice build. Unfortunately the big pictures are not to click, or if so, they point to the main page back, and not to the actual product or category.
The shopping cart, and the products look awesome. I loved the t-shirts so much, that i wanted to buy one. However, i could not find the price or the login/register/order/etc. Very good design, makes a good impression and converts visitors to customers.
The gallery works perfect. Is it pulling the pictures from Flickr?
Under the 5th menu item, called info have i discovered, that this website is actually a wholesales/manufacturing company. It was disappointing, that i have to look now for a store, that has the merchandise i loved so much before. I do not like it anymore. I am a lazy bastard - there are many fishes in the sea - if you know what i mean.
The store locator has issues. Probably some configuration problems only: when you search for a zip code or city, it returns the results in extremely high resolution. Uncomfortable, not user friendly.
My conclusion: I assume, that the designers hands are tied, and understands the issues.
This is a very nice design, and gave me lots of good ideas how to improve my own site. Clean and simple solution to make a good impression, and convert visitors to buyers.
Amazing job, keep it up guys!
Thank you for sharing.
