BestForBabies.com

First Step needed a website to represent their baby products online. With a small store-front in downtown Berlin, MD, the owner wanted to keep her inventory synchronized between the website and store. A point-of-sale was necessary to make this happen seemlessly.

Goals

The goal was to provide an aggressive e-commerce solution for First Step, a baby boutique, to bring products to a global client base.

Challenges

  • Product categorization and cross references displayed based upon many unique criteria.
  • Real time product inventory based on store inventories as well as website stock.
  • Product coupon administration.
  • Implementation of Gift Registry to be integrated with shopping cart.
  • Product photography.
  • Complete search functions based on criteria.

Tools Used

SQL Server 7
Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4
Macromedia Homesite 4.5
Macromedia Fireworks 4
Adobe Photoshop

Methods

To make this shopping system a viable solution for the client, full website administration was provided for the BestForBabies.com staff. All data is stored via an SQL7 database, by the utilization of ASP. The key to this projects success was a very close working relationship with the BestForBabies.com staff.

Note

Bestforbabies.com was so successful that Kelly was able to sell the store and website after two years and divert her attention to her new son fulltime.
