The 2009 "Best Site" Winner!
We want to thank everyone for participating in our 2009 Best Site contest. Everybody's projects were fantastic and it was hard to determine a winner. It was real close between VerVita Products Redesign, Bradford Mercantile and Dury's guns. Shift Design and Pretty Squares did a great job with design and foxycart integration. Nate Lier at Flipbox Studios did a great job with the catalog layout and with design as well. We ended up deciding on Dury's guns for several reasons. The main factor is the pure testament to what the foxee/foxycart/EE combination can achieve. They have over 40 million visitors a year, keep a product catalog of almost 2000 products and allow customers to register and upload their own product descriptions and images for used sales. Additionally they harness the power of FoxyCarts Authorize only feature to comply with federal regulations on waiting periods for firearm purchases. That combined with integrating several other third party modules makes for a excellant example of the power website developers have using foxee. Congratulations to the Parscale Media team.
Title: Durys Guns
Site Name: Durys Guns
Developer: Parscale Media
Site Link: http://www.durysguns.com
Description:Selling guns is a unique business in general, but selling guns online is even trickier. Not only because of regulations and compliance issues, but also because of the volume of individual items sold. The marketing needs of the website were met through utilizing Expression Engine as the CMS. Through its efficiency and intuitiveness, the 3 dedicated Durys staffers are able to easily manage the inventory that numbers close to the 2000 mark. EE is also integrated into their POS system so in-store purchases are deducted and reflected online. FoxEE has made it possible for Dury’s to be the first website to offer true online shopping for guns, across the world and U.S., as well as domestic interstate delivery. The process is simple and PCI compliant. The site is a great example of a dynamic CSS/ xHTML design integrated with FoxEE to allow a fully customizable end product.

When they wanted to build a new site that let them easily organize lots of different kinds of data and sell their downloadable analyses, we immediately turned to FoxEE and FoxyCart. FoxEE was the perfect solution, and because of it's flexibility, the site looks gorgeous and is extremely easy for visitors to use.
