MiX media Announces New Information-based Site Using ColdFusion

 
Dec 13, 1999
MiX media has announced a new client collaboration: techbargains.com, an Internet-based information source to provides consumers with up-to-date information on the hottest technology products and where to buy them at good prices (PRNewsWire, October 19, 1999).

In just six weeks, using techbargains.com's prototype, MiX media rapidly deployed the database-driven site. Milestones on this project included:

  • Database design refinement and modifications; database build- out
  • Defining data administration requirements and mechanisms
  • Web site technology analysis
  • Building the ColdFusion site
  • Testing the site

All final files were delivered with knowledge transfer to empower the client to maintain its own site.

The site was built using Microsoft SQL 7.0 database and Allaire's ColdFusion application server. MiX media was responsible for the software architecture, engineering, coding, implementation and integration, as well as building an extensive administrative module, which helps maintain all content and database integrity using Microsoft Access and HTML forms. techbargains.com includes information on over 100 recommended products divided into 12 categories, such as Computers, Software, Storage, and Video. Each entry includes detailed information on the product, why it is recommended, links to its datasheet, pointers to other reviews on the product, as well as information on buying it at the lowest price. Both Macintosh and PC products are covered.

The site also features daily news that is continuously updated with information on the latest product releases, and special coupons and deals. It provides links to approved vendors that offer the products at the lowest cost, as well as evaluations of the vendors, based on pricing, availability, and shipping turnaround.
