Innovative Automation is an Indianapolis-based company that buys, services, and sells Amada punch-presses and other industrial machinery. I set up the back end and interface using Ruby on Rails, and used a variety of creative commons and open source technology to quickly get the site up and running. The design was modified from the Midnight template, available via a Creative Commons 2.5 Attribution license from Free CSS Templates. I also made use of Lokesh Dhakar's wonderful Lightbox v2 script for image display, and Anssi Piirainen's FlowPlayer for product videos.
The result of using these open-source and creative commons technologies was that Innovative Automation got a high-quality web site with an easy-to-use backend within a month. The interface allows the client to handle updating product details, uploading product images, creating slideshows to demonstrate their service capabilities, and uploading videos to display their products in action.
