Case Study: E-Commerce Site 1
(Identity of site withheld to honor confidentiality agreement. Sub-contract.)
[Back to Case Studies]
|
Task
Customer had vast inventory to put online for a new e-commerce
site. Many products had hundreds or thousands of possible
configurations because of colors, add-ons, and other options. In
addition, a number of products had the capability to include stock images and
offered printing options with dynamic text entered by the web user.
Customer also wanted to have total control over the configuration of the
products and also have content control over the main page.
Solution
This was a very complex task. To gain maximum productivity in coding
and ensure optimum speed to market, ASP.NET was the language used.
Microsoft SQL Server is the backend database driving the site, with a set
of finely tuned stored procedures providing maximum efficiency.
