This retailer sells and installs major upgrades to their clients' homes, in the form of fireplace installations, patio builds, pool construction, and hot tub spa placement.

 

Eventually, this site will be an ecommerce solution (to sell all the fireplace and patio accesories offered in the retail location).  At current, the site offers an interesting set of flash galleries that do a great job showing off the products being sold in the store.  It showcases a best-in-class design for a retailer/ecommerce solution of Fireplace, Patio, Pool, and Spa industry.

 

The main focus for the FPPS website is the Fireplace Design Center, which is a flash module that allows a client to "build" a fireplace using their chosen cultured stone or brick, hearth, mantle, and a number of other varale.  The client can actually use a specialized color palatte to see how their floor covering and wall color might match with the exact stones and other implements chosen.  One of the reasons why this flash model looks real, is because, well, it is real!  Those stones are real images, of the actual stones used in the fireplaces...we "tile" them strategically in a way that allows us to cascade them strategically.  This gives us a full area to work with and encompass a large area in the flash module.
