This is one of my favourite sites. I love working on it as it is where I live and where I love to be.

It is a complex site working as a directory for local businesses and also activities. Visit the site and visit the town.

Specialising in Antique Country, Rustic & Painted Furniture from home and abroad, with strong emphasis on French and Scandinavian pieces. We wanted to grab something that helped people identify with Deja Vu. The wysteria grows along part of the wall adjoining the shop and if you miss the wysteria, you can’t miss the smell!

Snails move by alternating body contractions with stretching, with a proverbially low speed (1 mm/s is a typical speed for adult Helix lucorum [1]). They produce mucus in order to aid locomotion by reducing friction. The mucus also reduces the snail’s risk of injury. Snails also have a mantle that covers the internal organ which is called a foot.

Snails are found everywhere - land, sea and freshwater. They mostly are vegetarian although some can be omnivorous - which actually surprises me. I have never seen a snail barbecue!

I also once spent hours rescuing snails. Mum and dad got worried because I was late home and came searching along with most of the neighbourhood and police. They found me several miles away rescuing snails. I think I was 7!

More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it. However, WordPress is more than just blogging software. It can also become a full content management system (cms). Through the addition of plugins you can extend Wordpress to include a shop, customer management, contact forms, forums, the list is endless.

A web content management system has features to ease the tasks required to publish web content to web sites.

Web content management systems are often used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing ecommerce, news sites, blogging, photo galleries, sales guides, and marketing brochures. A content management system may support the following features:

• Import and creation of documents and multimedia material
• Identification of all key users and their content management roles
• The ability to assign roles and responsibilities to different content categories or types.
• Management of shop stock and sales information

If you want to get started with WordPress, contact us and we can arrange to set you up with a site.

Creating your Products Page

Create a page like you normally would in WordPress. In my example, we’ll give it the page title of “Shopping Cart”. In the Page Content section add the following code:
%%antique%%
Also, make sure under ‘Page Template’ you are using ‘Default Template’ as some WordPress themes have an archives template.
Press the publish button and you’re done. You’ll now have a “Shopping Cart” page.
You can also create a custom page template by dropping the following code into a page:
antique_productcategories()
In order to work properly, this tag needs to be within the WordPress loop. For more information on creating custom page templates, click here.

Adjusting CSS and Template Styling

Antique Shop comes with a default layout and theme. To change the style and layout of the shopping cart, copy them/edit antique_theme.php and theme/antique_style.css to your active theme’s folder, and edit them. Antique Shop uses a system of template tags similar to the WordPress theme system. To view a list of available tags, please read tags.txt

Plugin Support And Feature Request

If you’ve read over this readme carefully and are still having issues, if you’ve discovered a bug, or have a feature request, please contact me via my contact page.

Licence

Antique Products is released under the GNU GPL licence.

Developing software is an important aspect of the work we do. Many software packages contain what is sometimes known as ‘bloatware’. Bloatware simply means to take a software package and fill it to overflowing with every possible option available. The problem is the package then becomes unusable or to use it takes a very steep learning curve. So to get around this we develop software.

WP Product

The plugin is a showcase for products. It’s particular use is to allow multiple users to display their products and amend without having to see any other users products.

WP Shop

Shortly to be released wpshop is a plugin to the Wordpress CMS. This shop contains many attractive features and a demo will be available to view. There are a wide variety of options to be set including a variety of currencies and taxes. The shop also has a marketing manager.

WP CRM

Now released
WP crm is a plugin to the Wordpress CMS. CRM stands for Customer Resource Manager and in its simplest form is an application that allows you to manage your customers through letters, emails and dating times of contact. It will have a very handy contact form, which when completed by a customer will store the details directly in your database for immediate management use.

Organise

Organise - order, stock, customer and accounts database is a Mac only product which I use extensively to manage my business. Take a look it is brilliant.

Serving the needs of Lostwithiel

Cregy is a web design company serving the needs of Lostwithiel. We are also keen to give back to the community. Hence the reason behind the WP Shop. We will also be developing the concept on further with the creation of crm software for Wordpress. This will give web designers and small businesses a real chance to develop an online business.

Slow Down

And if you get the chance, slow down and watch some paint dry, some snails race and just chill. If you’ve got a wife, daughter or son, go and tell them you love them.

This client wanted to combine several aspects of his business and so decided to build an online shop. The shop has a back-end that includes invoice, customer and supplier management along with stock control. We also developed a new look for the business including an upgrade to the logo.

EFE & GB Nets

If we are to reduce the extent of climate change in the future we all need to make a real effort to reduce and offset our personal carbon footprint.

Proactive and Positive

Do something proactive and positive today!

The average UK household is responsible for around 12 tonne of carbon released into the atmosphere each year.

Woodland Creation

Woodland Creation is planting trees on land previously farmed in an intensive and unsustainable way and each newly planted tree that grows to maturity will lock up over a tonne of carbon from the atmosphere.

To offset our carbon footprint we at Cregy are buying a tree a month. You can start offsetting YOUR carbon footprint today by sponsoring a tree

An enjoyable site that creates a feeling of age.
