Project Overview
After a thorough consultation process a project specification based on the AspDotNetStorefront platform was drawn up.
AspDotNetStorefront provides the tools and development framework needed to successfully design, develop, and deploy a robust and reliable e-commerce site.
AspDotNetStorefront is designed to make it easy for you to create an online store or deploy a store solution quickly and simply. It includes everything a small business needs to design, build and manage its own ASP.NET ecommerce solution capable of selling both digital downloads and traditional shipped goods.
Based on ASP.NET, AspDotNetStorefront includes a powerful and feature rich administrative application allowing you to add and edit products, manage your user base and affiliates, send mail shots and manage your payment transactions.
On top of this powerful platform, Infosystems developed custom plugins to provide the extra functionality that was required.
The site’s artwork was specifically designed to accommodate the different categories and bespoke features provided. We worked closely with the client to produce a “look and feel” that provided all the necessary functionality in a coherent, easy to use and attractive package at a competitive price.
Client Testimonial
“Infosystems have been a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Being able to talk to the developer’s first-hand about design and development was a breath of fresh air compared to other web design companies we have experienced. I have been privileged to work with Infosystems who have made the whole business of creating a detailed and flexible website a smooth process.
The site's requirements were complex in areas and had to be adapted to fit our requirements and in some areas exceeded my original brief. The Infosystems team has a ‘much-welcomed’ personalised approach and was very responsive with any issues raised, they were also managed and resolved in a professional manner. Not only that, the consultation process has been extremely friendly and efficient. Add all that to the keen price and added ongoing support are a very attractive proposition.
The transition from our old website to the new one was also very smooth and efficient and incurred no downtime to our business.
Not only are we delighted with the results we are also more than happy to recommend them and their services to any business that's considering setting up an ecommerce web site. Outstanding! ToysGamesGifts.co.uk would like to thank Infosystems for their outstanding work and support over the past few months and we look forward in continuing the relationship for future development work”.
