Featured Project
GraySail is
pleased to partner with the world leader in essential oils, Young Living Essential
Oils.
On working with GraySail, Young Living Essential Oils' Web and E-Commerce Manager Kelly McNulty says "They are responsive, quick and very open to working cooperatively and to working toward solving the hiccups that inevitably come with a large Web project. They're always at the ready to help and to find ways to make things work, and GraySail really means it when they say that they just want to make sure we're a happy customer. The truth of that statement has been evident in every interaction we've had with them. I really feel like they're a true extension of our team rather than a vendor, which is rare in my experience. Young Living absolutely plans to use Graysail again and again."
Entering production on May 12, 2009 as a preview of their new user experience prior to full-scale launch, the new Young Living Essential Oils Web site will combine all of Young Living's stand alone marketing sites into a single location. “We continuously strive to bring our essential oils into every home across the world, and creating this new site is a huge step toward that goal,” says Doug Nelson, CEO of Young Living Essential Oils. “ Now the quality of our Web site matches the quality of our product, and is something our members can be proud to share with others.”
Young Living views the new site as an opportunity for its members to share their knowledge and passion about Young Living products. The site is also designed as a tool to help potential customers quickly gather information about Young Living. The new YoungLiving.com will include:
• Fresh look and feel
• More intuitive navigation
• Additional in-depth, informative pages
• Search function for products
• Informative wellness solution section
GraySail's re-implementation of the Young Living Web site uses OpenCms to create and manage a cohesive Web presence while elegantly delivering dynamically generated product content. To help Young Living make the most of their worldwide market, GraySail created a custom translation module for OpenCms to facilitate delivery of content in multiple languages.
"GraySail is a solid IT company with a human side. They are friendly, efficient and flexible enough to meet our crazy demands", says Gerry Baird, Software Engineering Team Leader at Young Living Essential Oils, "I would definitely recommend GraySail to any company looking for a sharp team of Web programmers."
Throughout the development process, GraySail has been most pleased with the presence and attention to detail provided by the Young Living Essential Oils team. When asked to comment on working with Young Living Essential Oils, Hoke Currie, CEO of GraySail, said "Young Living Essential Oils is an outstanding company, and GraySail is proud to have been selected as the vendor for their Web development project. This company is a great example of a people-oriented organization taking great care to ensure that their customers, vendors, and employees all feel like important parts of a highly effective team. Throughout this entire project it has been clear to us that the Young Living organization sets standards of excellence and strives to meet those standards, while motivating everyone involved to do the same."
