EXAMPLE: E-Commerce This is a database driven e-commerce site
developed in partnership with Revolution Design. Almost all
content and products on the site are dynamically generated and
most aspects of the site can be easily changed by the customer
thanks to an eloborate content
management system.
The
site features multiple shopping carts, personalization, advanced
search capabilities, and frequently updated content.
Some of the contents of the client's databse
are normalized with self-referential data.
For instance: each product category on this page has a parent category and,
in many cases, that category has a lower level parent of its own.
This requires a recursive drilldown to list the hierarchy of
product categories.
The product detail page features "breadcrumbs," multiple
product options, and related product cross-selling.
Personalization features on the site
allow customers to view their shopping history, maintain multiple
shopping lists, and re-order previous purchases.
Customers can be offered discounts, targeted e-mail, on other
special features.
Shopping Lists allow B2B customers
to easily reorder specialized or seasonal inventory.
