DanceShopper



We met at the ALCC English School in New York, where you get a chance to meet
people from all over the world. He was originally from Taiwan, was really
interested in technology and e-commerce, and had this brilliant idea to sell
items for professional dancers online. How could you possibly sell shoes online
if clients could not physically try them on? Professional dancing, on the other
hand, is a nice and specific niche where dancers know exactly what they need and
order their shoes frequently before every major competition. Those shoes take a
lot of abuse and must be updated frequently. So, since I already had some
expertise with ASP.NET and C#, I decided to assist him in realizing his vision.
We took inspiration from other websites on the Internet and created an
e-commerce website from the ground up, including the SQL Server database for the
back end and VeriSign for credit card processing. We also implemented a content
management system for updating the products, and an analytics system for
tracking user behavior. The website was launched on time and was well-received
by the customers.
