Major UK Retailers Products E-commerce Website

This is a PHP web development outsourcing project from Europe. The client operated a cutting edge business model in e-commerce field. They wanted to develop an e-commerce website that collects and offers all Best Offers of the day from the major UK retailers. Customers can know many best offers of the day by visiting one website.

The client requested their current graphic design company to work with our web development team. After the group meeting with the graphic design team over the Internet, the graphic design team began to design and create the graphic materials with appropriate size and format in order to meet client’s requirement. TecHome web development team adopted a wide range of web development technologies including PHP with Zend framework that created a rich and structured website. Web development team used JQuery and Ajax to develop client-side for the interactive web applications, for example, create animations and handle events.

‘We chose PHP programming language and PHP Zend Framework for this e-commerce web development project. We used PHP Zend framework to build scalable, performance, and secure development. Zend framework used MVC implementation supports PHP templates and layouts.

PHP Zend framework supports many popular databases, such as MySQL, SQI Server, Oracle, and PostGreSQL. With Zend framework, PHP web development can show the competitive advantage of using these technologies and make client’s business more efficient in online environment.’

- Hurry Tang, PHP Web Development Project Manager (TecHome)

‘It is the first time we try the web development outsourcing business model. Frankly, we argued and worried about the outsourcing business model, because the web development team is so far away. We have to communicate via phone calls or the Internet instead of the face-to-face talk. […] Finally, with our business partner’s suggestion, we decided to try the popular business model: web development outsourcing.

I want to say that our web development outsourcing is successful and perfect, both the web project and web development team in China. Team members are skillful and responsible, they gave us lots of suggestions and we adopted most of them. I will suggest our colleagues to introduce TecHome to our business partners to reduce their IT costs.’
