Ali’s Web Blog

In late 2002 to early 2003 we did not have any module to sell our products online and then manage customers, I finally decided to develop a system that will not only help us manage our products but also orders and customers.

So, I started to developed a system that currently has the following modules

» A simple quick shopping cart
» Order Management (Status : Pending, Cancelled, Refunded, Approved)
» Customer Management
» Customer Download Area (with order status alert, downloads, admin notifications)
» Freelance’s Application Management
» Cusotmer NEws Management
» Products Management (custom pages, templates, logos vector)
» Front End - Template Driven + Database (search sort etc)

Below is the screenshot of Front End
this can also be seen at http://www.swish-shop.com)

This system was integrated with 2checkout.com where a new customer accuont is automatically generated upon succesfull payment. Admin is notified about the new order, admin can login to Administration Panel to “Approve” order or change status to anything like “Cancelled”, “Refunded” “Chargeback” etc. This system is still good enough and working, and we are still not planning to upgrade it. This custom CMS took me 25 days to complete it, its Admin Panel is very detailed.

Well, Swish 2 used to be very popular back in 2002, it became so popular quickly because of its wonderful text effects and the ease of use. Secondly the Flash used to be on its peak, the web trend was going through Flashy websites, everyone was loving those flash effects and people were more interested in Flasg websites, like today people love web 2.0 look. So whenever I got time, I used to design templates in my spare time, these are not perfect but very old as well, the time has changed and I have also improved a little.. so below are a few of them, please take a look (some free templates can also be downloaded from http://www.swish-db.com/ and any of the templates below can be purchased from our website : http://www.swish-shop.com/

Templates that one of my employee designed I have only added the animations..

One of my student whom I taught Photoshop and Swishmax, below is the result.

Well these are a few, you can browse a lot more templates by me and my employees at our website, I stopped designing swish templates as product, but still work for clients on their website and mostly with dynamic content like integrating Swishmax and Flash with PHP & MySQL.

Well everyone, its been too long since I posted anything on this blog, reason is lack of time. Anyways I am planning to update this blog regularly, not frequently,  but will try to update from time to time.

I dont know why but now a days I am loving the artistic themes, and honestly I dont have time to design one for myself that’s the reason my portoflio was never updated, I give 2 thumb to DT template designers, since their stuff seems amazing.

I tried to post the posts with original dates but it will have wasted a lot of time, I manually converted this blog since I had to reorder my biological hours, lol.. been working on a client’s website since 17 hours now, and then I had to keep myself awake for next 4 hours to make this happen so I thought to update this blog in the meanwhile :)..
