Al’s Garden Center is a local gardening supply store with three locations in Oregon. They needed a website overhaul that would allow them to create and control the large amounts of content they wanted to display on the site.

Their old design was limiting and outdated, so Tweak Interactive put together a fresh new look for Concrete to implement, including a Flash slideshow on the front page which site administrators can edit directly through Concrete CMS without any Flash knowledge. Adding new pages for Al’s many articles, tips, and products is also simple through the CMS, and thanks to Concrete’s flexible architecture, these pages can be easily linked to from different topical areas. The site features a glossary of terms so visitors can browse for particular keywords, which are tagged to pages by the site administrators, and find all related articles.

“Visiting Al's Garden Center in Sherwood is amazing, their showroom is huge and an immersive experience,” says Franz Maruna, CEO of Concrete Websites. “I'm glad their new site does a better job of sharing their horticultural wisdom with the world.”
