I worked on this website for many years. I would have to say it was my first big project for several areas and reasons.

They were originally using a very old and free coldfusion shopping cart software. It was buggy and didn’t do a lot of things they needed. The design wasn’t very appealing either.

I used a free open source ASP shopping cart as the base for a new site. I can up with a newer more user friendly navigation and page layout. Everything was looking good and then came time for the customizations. The ASP cart I chose needed a lot of work done to it.

Music Treasures needed many different kinds of shipping options for a wide range of different products. For example, going from memory maybe 6-7 years ago, ordering certain T-Shirts is $6 for all shirts ordered. However, if they ordered a toy with their shirt it’s now $6 for the shirts and $4 for the toy. Then came freight and custom quote items that have their own custom shipping options. Items too heavy needed custom quotes for shipping so they weren’t calculated in the order or shipping. There were many of these special rules on top of the regular price based shipping. You can imagine the intricacies if someone ordered 10 things and each had special shipping rules!

The shipping options where the only part I had real difficult with. The rest of the customizations, multiple product images, product options (size, color, etc) and product engraving to name a few were pretty straight forward customizations.

Several years later I redid the website design again to what it is now as of this article.
