Monzilla Media recently designed a new website for The Hardcore Construction Company.

The Hardcore Construction Company specializes in providing evocative products for adults. Their mission statement (as displayed on their site) says it all:

Mission Statement: At the Hardcore Construction Company, we believe that the world is in need of more joy and play time. Our mission is to provide high-quality products for you and your partner’s pleasure. Our desire is to help you add some adventure and spice to your life. — Enjoy!

The HCC is launching their business centered around a single product line, but plans are already in the works for a significant merchandise expansion. At that time, the current brochure-style site will be retooled with complete database functionality, featuring a robust shopping cart, blogging platform, and information center.

In its current form, the HCC website is a creation of Web-Standards-based beauty. Built with solid security features, semantic HTML, streamlined CSS, and fully degradable, unobtrusive JavaScript, the HCC website works and looks great on both sides of the browser.

Beyond fully valid, standards-based design, the HCC website also features a fully functional Flash-powered slideshow, complete with over 270 images! Here is a summary of the main services provided by Monzilla Media for the Hardcore Construction Company website:

  • Domain name consultation and planning
  • Web hosting account configuration
  • Standards-based design and development
  • Site security measures and optimization
  • Custom graphic design for site imagery
  • Fully functional Flash-powered slideshow
  • Progressive enhancement via JavaScript
