A-Z External Website

a-zrest.com | 2025

Designed and built the current website for A-Z Restaurant Equipment Company modernizing their digital presence and creating a better showcase for their massive inventory of new and used items.

A-Z has an inventory of approximately 30,000 unique items. Due to the fact that used pieces are added and removed from the inventory constantly, individually curated pages were not going to suffice. As such I designed the backend to allow for uploading an inventory report from Sage50 that would then be parsed to remove items that had been sold or yet to be tested. Using an SQL database, I could then pull the information regarding the products and dynamically fill the shop and create product pages. In this way, I was able to simplify product upload to a single button press rather than manually typing / creating individual pages. Each product page also dynamically creates its own SEO tags to help in visibility across the web.

I also added account creation and wishlisting so that eventually the site can become a shopping platform where customers can order equipment without having to call or come in person. I used modern data encryption standards to ensure the safety of their personal information.
