Customer Spotlight: LeatherNature.com

leathernaturelogoRecently we had the pleasure of working with a local leather worker Christian Graham who makes an impressive line of leather dog wear. His work is amazing and worth checking out. TNL Total Solutions helped build an e-commerce platform based on WordPress that allows Christian to completely maintain all aspects of his online presence. From layout and design, to complex shipping calculations; Here is what he had to say:

“I hired TNL Total Solutions to help me turn my small website into an e-commerce platform. I thought that I had a clear understanding of what would be needed. Brian made some suggestions and wrote a contract explaining what he would do. I paid the deposit and he started working on the website.

Right away there started to be problems with elements in the theme and other things. In the first two weeks, Brian probably doubled the total amount of time that he agreed to work on my website. As things progressed and started to come together, he actually made suggestions on how to make the website better. His ideas, which I would not have thought about, wound up being very important to the website, and he did a lot of extra work to implement things like SEO and setting up an email for me. When the project was finished, he had spent way more time than he said he would and didn’t raise the price.

Looking back, I realize that I had no idea of how many things I needed to do in order to have a viable e-commerce website that was exactly how I wanted it (I had a list of demands that made it harder). It could have easily cost me a lot more money than I planned or not even worked out right.

What I want to say the most is that Brian treated my website project with a sense of personal responsibility. I could tell during the process that he was thinking about it a lot and wasn’t going to leave me hanging. There were some times where it looked like something I wanted couldn’t be done, and then Brian would figure out a way to do it. This took a lot of extra time for him to do, reading forums and learning about the quirky theme I was using. And he could have just let it go but he did a lot of extra stuff to make the website just how i wanted it.

Since then I have hired him several times to do some modifications to the website. By now I trust him completely and know that he is fair and very thorough. Without him I am not sure how it would have ever come together right in any kind of budget I could afford. Brian treated me like someone he cared about and did a lot of behind-the-scenes work to make sure that everything was proper and set up right.

I have also switched my hosting company to TNL. The rate is very good and I don’t have to worry about how busy the website gets because the server will always have more space. On my old server, I was worried that once I got too busy they would cap my bandwidth. Now I can grow and focus on my business and know that the website will grow with it.

I sincerely recommend TNL to anybody involved with the internet. Having Brian as a consultant or a website builder will be a creative and loyal addition to your website project.” -Christian Graham, LeatherNature.com

A New Concept In Cloud Applications

We have been diligently working on our new cloud applications platform called U7 Networks.  When you sign up for U7 Networks you will instantly get access to a variety of applications that can be launched and configured within minutes. We have a handful of applications now available on the platform with more nearing completion.

We are still in beta, but below is what we are offering so far.  We have made a limited number of invites available and are offering $25 credit (or about 4-5 months worth of service) with each invite.  Have a look today @ http://www.u7networks.com

Instant Website Instance
U7Networks is happy to offer instant websites, similar to your standard web hosting plans out there except we scale as you grow and you only pay for what you use. Our InstantWeb website instance offers you a full Apache/PHP/MySQL virtual host stack for your application. You can access your website through the url we provide or point an existing domain name to the instance.


Subversion Repositories
U7Networks is happy to offer Subversion repositories. Subversion is the industry standard in source code version control. Subversion is a free/open source version control system. That is, Subversion manages files and directories, and the changes made to them, over time. This allows you to recover older versions of your data or examine the history of how your data changed. In this regard, many people think of a version control system as a sort of “time machine.”

U7 Networks makes it easy to deploy subversion repositories as well as manage users who are allowed to access your repository.


Bugzilla Instances
Bugzilla is a “Defect Tracking System” or “Bug-Tracking System”. Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors charge enormous licensing fees. Despite being “free”, Bugzilla has many features its expensive counterparts lack. Consequently, Bugzilla has quickly become a favorite of thousands of organizations across the globe. Bugzilla is backed by the Mozilla Foundation.


ProjectPier Instance
U7Networks is happy to offer ProjectPier. For many, ProjectPier offers a more cost effective alternative to project management platforms like BaseCamp. ProjectPier gives you a flexible system for managing projects involving multiple organizations by providing a central place for all project activity and information while integrating with users’ existing tools and workflow. Thousands of people all over the world, from study groups organizing a school project to large universities managing hundreds of international research projects, are using our software to get a grip on their project’s tasks, communication, files and more!


MySQL Instance
Whether you need a high availability MySQL instance for a remote application or just an additional database for your InstantWeb website instance we can have you up and running in minutes.

WebDav Share
Our iLan Network Drive product allows you to create network drives or folders for your organization without investing an expensive IT infrastrucutre. iLan is built on established webdav technology, making it reliable, as well cross platform. These cloud based drives or folders can be used with applications such as OmniFocus, Apple iCal and other applications which require a WebDAV folder for synchronizing data. Launch an iLan instance and within a few minutes you can have a share connected as a drive to your computer that can be shared or simply used for offsite storage.
