Project Summary

WEB4PRO provided long-term e-commerce and PHP development for an alternative health retailer, implementing multiple site rebuilds, a custom multi-view product/article database, and shopping-cart features using osCommerce. Over a decade-plus engagement they also handled server/backup work and ongoing maintenance. The client reports growth from startup to stable presence and praises the vendor's project management, pricing, and responsiveness.

Key Challenges

  • Upgrade the website repeatedly to keep pace with online developments
  • Implement a PHP/Apache-based e-commerce site with a robust shopping cart
  • Support a growing catalog (60 brands, 600+ SKUs) and integrate extensive educational article content with products
  • Create custom features (multi-view database) not available in standard platforms

Project Deliverables

  • Website (three major versions)
  • Shopping cart (osCommerce)
  • Affiliate management
  • Newsletter integration
  • Content management with article-product integration
  • Multi-view database functionality
  • Server administration and backup/restore systems

Project Solution

WEB4PRO provided ongoing e-commerce and PHP development, delivering three major versions of the client’s website. They implemented an osCommerce-based shopping cart and custom-developed many features not available in off-the-shelf solutions, including affiliate management, newsletter integration, and deep content-to-product linking. The vendor built a multi-view database that exposes product and article relationships in multiple ways and performed server administration and backup/restore work while maintaining the cart and providing custom upgrades.

Project Outcome

  • Company grew from a startup to a stable online presence
  • Web traffic increased over the engagement
  • Developed a sense of trust leading to open-ended hourly engagement
  • Project management was effective with task tracking and met delivery expectations
