This is the homepage for DIY Shopper - a concept retail website developed with retail group Kingfisher that uses web 2.0 concepts such as blogs and buddy lists.

The page shows a list of items for a DIY project as well as buddy lists of in-store advisors and people doing similar projects, who can share their experiences.

The system also interacts with Second Life and provides users with in-store mobile services.
