Brief:
First launched in 1999, EnglishHall.com is the UK's premier online luxury
goods store, selling a wide range of goods from some of the country's most
prestigious brands. Current names include Swaine Adeney Brigg, Aquascutum,
Launer London, Truefitt & Hill, Paxton & Whitfield, Charbonnel et Walker,
The Crown Perfumery and more. EnglishHall.com's shopping system allows the
customer to view live prices and shop in a choice of four currencies:
British Pounds, US Dollars, Japanese Yen and Euros. The system makes
shopping easier and eliminates the uncertainty of variable exchange rates.
Foreign exchange rates are updated daily, and guaranteed by
EnglishHall.com's payment provider Natwest/WorldPay. Transactions are
authorised and completed on-line in real time. The client wanted us to
customize certain design aspects for the website to make it more readable
for the user. The client also wanted us to implement certain add-on
functionalities and integrate them with the EnglishHall.com system,
including user authentication, defining the order in which the products are
displayed on the site, and more. Also there were several customizations for
the site, including search engine optimization, modifying the look and logic
for the brands, modifying the look and logic for the shopping cart and
checkout pages. Other than the add-ons and customizations, the client also
wanted us to fix the bugs in the present EnglishHall.com shopping and
registration system.
Our Endeavour:
We had a nice time working on the EnglishHall.com system. The job was both
challenging, as well as interesting. We implemented all the add-ons for the
website and also successfully integrated them with the present
EnglishHall.com system. The functionalities were designed and developed so
that they were efficient and robust so that they can be
easily built and integrated into the complete system. We were also able to
customize the EnglishHall.com system as per the client's requirements. We
developed a section in the EnglishHall.com administrative console to allow
the sadministrator to define the order in which the products need to be
displayed to the customer. We also fixed all the bugs in the EnglishHall.com
shopping and registration system to ensure that the system provides all the
functionalities to the user and that the system is free of all bugs.
Acknowledgement:
We have used 2-3 different agencies and have found Synapse to be in a
league of their own. They are very well organized, offer flawless
communication and extremely rapid response times. We are hoping to use them
on all future projects of any magnitude. Can''t recommend them highly
enough!
