michaelbain, in conjunction with pixelmagic has completed a development project for www.vet2petnet.co.za

The project involved an e107 content management system install and configuration as well as a significant custom portion for the online shop.

Vet2PetNet is a full portal with forums, private messaging, blogs and much more.

The online shop incorporates  categorised browsing, a shopping cart and checkout that accepts secure credit card transactions.

After the success of www.bidahorse247.co.za, michaelbain was commissioned to develop and deploy an auction site solution for www.tackbox.co.za.

michaelbain delivered:

• the request to put an item on auction form which caters for file upload, validation and emailing of the request details, with attachment to the site administrator (or the brood mare as she is called on tackbox).
• the full-featured auction site for the venture. (michaelbain installed the auction solution, customised the auction solution, assisted with editing the content on the site and assisted with the theming of the auction solution. michaelbain coded custom functionality for the auction solution in PHP and using a MySQL database.)
• all the static pages for the site and the linking of it into an integrated solution.
• setting up and configuring the hosting environment and moving the site to it’s live location.

The database is then used for the site-side menu and platter displays.
