Case Study:BookTradeNow
Synopsis
J2 Web Systems developed a version of the site booktradenow for the purpose of selling, buying, and trading textbooks. The website was developed using the web framework & language Ruby on Rails. We choose to use mySQL as for the databases which would contain thousands of books in their inventory. The website was built on time and ahead of schedule, which was outstanding considering their previous contractor took over 9 months.
Our consultation
Book Trade Now asked J2 Web Systems to give consultation for various functions & aspects of the website. We then formulated three additional methods for which they can bring better customer service, increased revenue, and overall funcationality to the site. Those features were:
- Buying TextBooks
- Selling TextBooks
- Linking Amazon's Book API to their front end
Other
One important note to state is that they are a small, young, yet motivated company. Their website may have changed due to their constant research and innovative methods of business. For this reason screen shots our version of the website will be available soon.
J2 Web Systems was so efficient in taking care of my needs. The company showed full rapport and provided excellent customer service by laying everything out that they can provide on paper very clearly and everything was professionally documented. They produced excellent results in an amazing amount of time. Our whole website was done in only one week! Our previously scrapped attempts took nine months!"
