Vancouver, BC, Canada – August 16, 2006 – Lunapads International was faced with a difficult decision. Their website was powered by outdated technology which was difficult to maintain and limiting their ability to serve their customers, not to mention their plans for growth. On the other hand, the prospect of finding a vendor who could help them develop a new site which would support all legacy functionality and all desired new functionality seemed daunting, if not impossible.
After significant research, Lunapads selected ideaLEVER’s CommerceCM platform. Madeleine Shaw of Lunapads comments, “ideaLEVER took a lot of time to get to know about our business’ unique needs and how best to accommodate them in CommerceCM. We have high hopes for increasing our conversion rate through a faster, more intuitive shopping experience.”
The CommerceCM Implementation came to ideaLEVER with exacting design requirements as well as the added functional challenge of providing cohesive support for both B2B and B2C consumers. Lunapad’s wholesale customer base accounts for a significant percentage of overall business, but the streamlined shopping experience is markedly different from the standard 3 step checkout used by regular retail shoppers.
Lunapads VP Suzanne Siemens adds, “Our staff can now update our product and information offerings quickly and easily. This is a major improvement from old site, and we are excited about IdeaLEVER’s commitment to constantly improving their products.”

Vancouver, BC, Canada – August 11, 2006 – The Sweet Peanut Clothing Company offers stylish baby clothing designed for maximum movement, unencumbered play and comfortable napping. Founder Danielle Wilson wanted her company’s website to capture the spirit of her baby clothing by seamlessly blending style and function to create an exceptional shopping experience. To fulfill this goal, she selected ideaLEVER’s CommerceCM technology.
While Danielle was impressed with the many features such as Referral Tracking and comprehensive support for Promotions, she was happy to learn that CommerceCM’s architecture was fully supportive of her unique design goals. She was also reassured by CommerceCM’s proven track record of successful implementations.
The timing for the launch was fortuitous as Danielle was able to secure voucher space in the gift bags for the 2006 Emmy Award attendees. To support this most impressive coup, she used the Promotions Manager to create a targeted 100% discount promotion. This is one example of how she expects CommerceCM’s features and scaling capacity to support Sweet Peanut’s growth for years to come.

Kamloops, BC, Canada – July 21, 2006 – Kamloops Computer Centre has serviced customers from around the province of British Columbia for over 20 years all the while staying true to their goal of providing reliable products, valuable solutions, and professional support. Owner Kelly Condon has realized for sometime that the company’s existing website www.kamcc.com was not fully capitalizing on the opportunities of the Web. In essence, it was serving only as a tool to promote the in-store experience.
Kelly turned to ideaLEVER and their CommerceCM platform to move his site into the world of eCommerce. The implementation called for a number of custom requirements beyond the capabilities of the standard CommerceCM package. For example, they needed the Configurator, a tool which allows customers to assemble the components of a computer – hard drive, memory etc. – and see the effect on price all on the fly. Because CommerceCM’s architecture separates common code from client code, the Configurator now sits neatly within the site’s framework and seamlessly communicates data into and out of the standard CommerceCM tables. As well, with an inventory that will soon exceed 10,000 products, Kamloops Computer Center is able to make extensive use of the automated cost/price update tool, an important requirement for a business that works on very low margins.
With the launch of the new site using CommerceCM, Kamloops Computer Center is now in position to safely grow the online component of its business for years to come.
Vancouver, BC, Canada – July 5, 2006 – Alix Cameron and Cindy Ball saw an opportunity and acted quickly to create the Smart Ass line of comfortable and flattering thongs with sassy sayings. After securing an impressive retail presence, they turned their attention to the Web, which they felt was the perfect vehicle to promote and sell their products.
After significant research, the “gals” at Smart Ass selected ideaLEVER’s CommerceCM platform. They were excited about features such as Referral Tracking and comprehensive support for Promotions, but more importantly they believed CommerceCM was not going to limit their plans for continued aggressive growth.
Working with Cindy and Alix, ideaLEVER leveraged many of the design aspects of their previous site to launch www.getsmartass.com with CommerceCM technology.
Alix comments, “We had a great experience working with the folks at ideaLEVER. SiteCM and CommerceCM have changed our lives! Even better, due to the fantastic management of the project, our website launched on time and under budget. We love the fact that we now own our web content, and can make changes and updates anywhere we have internet access. Even better we can track our online marketing efforts, and know where and how are customers are finding us. We highly recommend ideaLEVER.”
Kidproof, the most trusted name in child and family safety, launched their expansion into the U.S. supported by SiteCM from ideaLEVER Solutions Inc.

Driven by the vision and passion of child safety expert, author and public speaker Sandra Wilson, an ex-cop with years of child safety training and education, Kidproof has grown at a rate of over 750% in the past two years.
Kidproof selected SiteCM to power their U.S. web presence because of the products flexibility and top notch support. Familiar with Macromedia Contribute, Kidproof was frustrated with an inability to change key site elements including navigation. To keep up with their incredible growth rate, Kidproof required a CMS that could keep up with their growth, and Samantha's vision for the web site. From start to finish, the site was launched in 3 weeks.

Vancouver, BC, Canada – April 10, 2006 – For the past five years Marc Gilberg, CEO of Vancouver-based Daniadown Home, has watched online sales grow using a custom eCommerce solution developed by IdeaLever Solutions Inc. In an effort to better support their growing online customer base, Marc chose to upgrade Daniadown’s eCommerce site to ideaLEVER’s powerful CommerceCM 2.0 platform.
CommerceCM 2.0 provides Daniadown with sophisticated Referral Tracking, comprehensive support for Promotions, SiteAds, Newsletter support and much more. As well, products, departments and page content may be kept current by non-technical staff using CommerceCM’s intuitive Manager tools. These new tools provide Daniadown with a highly scalable solution running on the Microsoft .NET platform.
Marc Gilberg comments “CommerceCM enables us to ‘manage our on-line business’ rather than simply ‘designing our website’. With its business-oriented functions and role-based security, it allows for the distributed management of our on-line business to department staff within our traditional channels. The transfer of ownership of the site from the technical team to those who fully understand our products and our customers’ needs will result in a more customer-focused on-line environment. This distributed management will also allow us to be more responsive by empowering those with the knowledge of the subject to self-manage the site’s content. We fully anticipate that moving to the CommerceCM 2.0 foundation will not only result in significant sales growth but more importantly it will give us the confidence to easily manage this growth”
