Reptile Wrangler Web SiteThe Reptile Wrangler provides an incredible experience that introduces children and adults to fascinating reptilian encounters. The Reptile Wranglers, Ken and Zack, provide fun and exciting experiences with their awesome variety of reptiles and giant bugs. You select which critters you’d like at your event from their collection of more than twenty-five critters. The Reptile Wrangler arrives dressed in Safari style attire, while carrying his reptiles in closed wicker baskets. The animals are brought out one at a time to show everyone. Some can be touched by the viewers, or at a birthday party, held by the birthday boy or girl. Participants are welcome to take photographs during the show.


Project Objectives:

Web Site Design
The new ReptileWrangler.net web site design must to be very creative and should be designed with a “tropical” and “safari” look and feel. iaDesign will design the new ReptileWrangler.net web site to be a search engine powerhouse. It will also be designed using the latest W3C design standards for search engine compatibility.

Blog Installation and Customization
iaDesign will install and customize the Word Press blogging system. After installation, the new blogging system will be integrated into the main navigation and customized to match the new Reptile Wrangler web site. We will also train the client on the usage of Word Press.

Email Marketing System
iaDesign will also design an email marketing system for ReptileWrangler.net. Using this system, the client will have the ability to send out blast emails to anyone who has booked a show using their online booking system. Additionally, the client will have the ability to add email addresses into the system manually.  Also and to be in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, which was passed by Congress in 2003 - Each email sent by this new email marketing system will have an “OPT OUT” link at the bottom of the email. By clicking this link the recipients email address will automatically be removed from the marketing email database.


Project Results:

iaDesign is proud to announce that our project objectives were exceeded. The Reptile Wrangler and iaDesign are extremely happy with the creative design and development.

During the design conception phase of The Reptile Wrangler Web Site, iaDesign was faced with quite a challenge. This web site design was to be unlike any design we had ever created. We needed to create a design that is professional and fun.

The Online Show Scheduling System was also an absolute success. The Online Show Scheduling System allows a web site visitor to schedule The Reptile Wrangler for a Birthday Party Show, an In-School Field Trip Show, a College Campus Show, or a Corporate Show. The Online Show Scheduling System automatically calculates the Show price, based on which animals and/or show times are selected.

We also developed a web-based Email Marketing System for The Reptile Wrangler. This system allows The Reptile Wranlger to send marketing emails to all of his current and past customers. Additionally, customers can opt-out of the marketing emails.

ROL TransportROL Transport is a freight shipping company headquartered in Houston, Texas. When iaDesign was initially contacted and asked to issue a project proposal, the client made use aware that they had previously hired another developer that could not complete the task. Our goal during this project was not only to deliver the best possible online freight shipping system, but to also help the client be successful by supply ongoing support and prompt bug repairs.

iaDesign was selected to develop ROL Transport’s Online Freight Rating system, because of our previous experience in online freight shipping web site development.

The ROL Transport system is a web-based application that allows a web site visitor to get instant quotes, in real time, from each of the ROL Transport Inc Freight Carriers. The ROL Transport system is very unique because it is a self-contained system that requires no additional software to run. This system can easily be moved to any server, with very minor modifications.


All freight quotes are gathered using one of two methods:

1) Using the Freight Company’s API (Application Programming Interface)

2) By “Screen Scraping” or “Crawling” the Freight Company’s web site.


The following is a Line Item Overview of the ROL Transport feature set:
  • MySQL Database Schema and Associated Queries
  • Instant Online Freight Quotes
  • Member Registration
  • Member Login
  • Member View & Edit Account
  • Member Address Book Functionality (search and display)
  • Member Product Book Functionality (search and display)
  • Shipment History
  • Generate Required Receipts (bill of lading, order receipt)
  • Generate Unique Quote ID #

Back-end Administration:

ROL Transport Inc also needed the ability to administer certain aspects of their instant freight quote system.
Therefore, iaDesign developed a browser-based, back-end administration
control panel. Below is an overview of the administration functionality.

  • Order Lookup: Look up orders by BOL #, Customer Name or Date Range
  • Quote Lookup: Look up quotes by Quote #, Customer Name or Date Range
  • User Administration: The ability to Edit, Delete, Activate and Deactivate Member users.

The ability to edit the following values in the ROL database:
  • Markup percentage per user (optional)
  • Global markup percentage
