Hey guys!..

I’ve got my domain name and host all setup for my / our third world wheelchair and now I’m creating the content that will go inside thus making the site / website enjoyable for the user..

Can you please review and let me know what your thoughts are ??

I’ve laid out the format as you would see it in a webpage for your review and comments..

It’s a lot of information, I know I’m sorry!! But I need you go through it and give me your feed back on each of the 5 sections!..

Thank your for your time and I’m looking forward to hearing back from you!, the more feedback I receive the better I’ll be able to make the site..

Please pay close attention the spelling, punctuation, and the overall content & layout of the document…

Thank you so much for your time and help!..

Shaun.

Front page main content middle of the page:
It is said that over 150 million people who live in developing nations have the need for a wheelchair but only about 2% actually have access to them. Wheelchairdesigns along with a selected few extremely kind and giving individuals from RC-Monster.com wanted to address this issues by utilizing many great minds thus ultimately creating an extremely durable, all-terrain friendly wheelchair that can be repaired & maintained if needed using only local resources and local craftsmanship. This one of kind (multiple patents pending) concept incorporates renewable resources and new out of the box idea approach to providing an extremely affordable wheelchair while keeping quality, functionality and the ability to grow with this the end-user in site at all times, this new wheelchair is sure to revolutionize the way future chairs are thought of and constructed..

First tab (Key Features) main content
Our wheelchair incorporates many “one of the key features” that are normally reserved for the higher end chair with little to no extra cost added, we also wanted to make sure that every detail of your wheelchair could withstand ever-changing environments (cold, heat, snow, rain and wind) we were able to add as many as (9) such key aspects into the design of this new revolutionary wheelchair.

First tab middle of the page listing all 11 features (show pictures of each feature)

Front Casters:
Were using high clearance 6”x2”front casters to ease curb and ditch climbing ability as well as provide unlimited directional movement,

Wheels, Tires and Push Rims:
we also utilized 25” mountain bike wheels with off tires to help absorb shock from uneven surfaces as well as to for enhancing traction and better stability. Then we incorporated a non-welded push rim design to work with the rear wheels allowing the end-user the ability to use either sue the tire or the push rim depending on the existing road and weather condition one might encounter in a undeveloped nation.

Adjustable Footrest and Neck and Head Support:
Wheelchairdesigns also wanted to ensure that the chair is capable of growing with its end user by adding two special features to our wheelchair that are scarcely available even in today mass produced wheelchairs . The first was to provide the a foot rest system that would work for the young, small, tall and old, if the end user is young or on the smaller side of height, then you simply install the footrest in it upright position, if the end user is older and or taller then the foot rest can be tilted back providing both additional 5+ inches of leg length and rear ankle support system ensuring that the legs do not fall back in to or under the chair. The second of these out of the box yet extremely functional items is the addition of the rear head – neck support system. This system is completing removable if the end user has control of the upper part of the body and is able to self support his or her neck & head, if the end user is unable to use there own muscle that we have provided a resting / brace system that will compensate for this thus insuring the end user head and neck are comfortable supported.

Push – Pull Rear Bars:
Wheelchairdesigns also incorporated a “push-pull” rear hand rail system witch allows the helper to either pull or push on a bar that spans the rear of the chair, thus allowing the helper extra grip during high grade climbs as well as steep descents.

Rear Cargo area and Wheelie Bar
The final two items that were incorporated in this wonderful one of kind 3rd world wheelchair is a rear cargo area, allowing the end user to store and fasten down such items as (books, small boxes, etc) without the burden of carrying these items on the lap as many user are forced to d. the last item incorporated into the chair is purely for safety of the end user we installed a wheelchair tip bar was incorporated to ensure that the chair would not flip over backwards, thus providing the end user with a bit of confidence that they will remain upright during their time in the wheelchair.

New Age Design and a Comfortable Seat
WheelChairDesigns incorporated many unique designs features into this wheelchair. We added interesting curves, outstanding axel & frame supports and finished off the chair with an extremely durable colored surface. I also were able to incorporate a 3” off the shelf foam padded chair to provide the end user with the commutability not communally found in any other 3rd world wheelchair..
Second Tab (Building Our Chair) main content

Minimal Cost and Production Time are Key Elements to Success:
Wheelchairdesigns is aware that cost and manufacturing time is a strong consideration in regards the chair success or failure, well our wheelchair accounts for all of these concerns and more. We were extremely concerned that many existing chairs can cast $400-500.00 in development nations, which results in spending nearly twice the monthly household income. Well this wheelchair and our others one that are be introduced to the world currently cost $180 -$200 (Retail) and can be mass produced for just over a $100 per chair!..

Since Wheelchairdesigns used 90% of high end / high strength 1” PVC schedule 40 for its construction, there are now special skills required, the entire chair can be constructed within several hours. The utilization of 1” PVC proves not only a quick manufacturing turnaround time but also provides strength,

I learned that disabled people in the country face costs of $400 and up, more than twice the national average monthly household income. As a further challenge, standard chairs are no match for Guatemala’s potholed streets, muddy roads and rugged hills. Wielding hacksaws and gas welders, the students cannibalized a pair of old mountain bikes to build an inexpensive, dirt-road-worthy chair. Their easy-to-¬reproduce creation had one more advantage over other wheelchairs shipped to the developing world: “There are bike shops in every country,” says Dan Oliver, who joined the effort as a Caltech engineering undergraduate along with Charles Pyott, a student at the nearby Art Center College of Design. “Take our wheelchair into any shop in the world, and they could fix it.”
