Sundance Uniforms
Project:
Sundance Uniforms, the brainchild of Doug Bostrom, grew out of his drycleaning business. Mr. Bostrom realized that he could re-sell clothing products from manufacturers that normally do not sell to the general public. These manufacturers only sell to large volume contractors, not individual shoppers. Mr. Bostrom contracted Sharp Designs to build a full-featured e-commerce site called Sundance Uniforms that would allow the general public to browse and order clothing products online, purchasing them through Mr. Bostrom's volume accounts with the manufacturers. Sharp Designs designed and built a complete, end-to-end e-commerce solution from the ground up, meeting the specific needs Mr. Bostrom required. The company is no longer in business, but the site remains an excellent example of the design and technical work that Sharp Designs provides.
