Zephyr Books (since 1998)
Comment Designs has been supporting Zephyr Books for over 20 years. When we first began working with Zephyr Books, we simply provided them with a single-page “billboard” style site that directed visitors to their brick and mortar store. As their needs evolved, we provided a Perl script based solution to list their inventory online for browsing, updated them to a Joomla-based CMS, and when they were ready to sell their inventory online and start managing their own content, we provided them with WordPress blog integrated with a Magento catalog. We also created a custom solution to support inventory and order management across multiple sales platforms. They now use WordPress with WooCommerce and their catalog now contains thousands of items distributed through multiple platforms. Site-based sales continue to grow year-over-year, and we continue to provide hosting, inventory management support, SEO, google advertising support, social networking support, and general technical support for Zephyr Books.
Locally Sourced Meats (2016-2020)

Call on Music (2017-2025)
Comment Designs has been supporting Call on Music ever since they became a dream in the eye of the founder.

We continued to provide domain registration and WordPress hosting through 2025.

Grown In Ivanhoe (2014-2016)
Comment Designs began supporting Grown In Ivanhoe in 2014 when our founder decided to moonlight as a farmers’ market manager.

We continued to support Your Neighborhood Market through their dissolution in 2015.
