This was a really interesting project. It basically involved fetching and storing in a database a massive product catalog using Web Services. This project required consuming a number of Web Services APIs, and intuitive interface designs to support product details drill down, product comparison and searching. The catalog hosted 1000′s of products and it was very challenging making the website to present an almost-live version of the web service’s catalog.

Here are a couple of key requirements for the project:

1. Sphnix full-text searching with Ajax UI
2. Integrated Web Services APIs from find-services.co.uk
3. Dynamic RSS  Feeds for various product listings
4. Price History Tracking mechanism for the Web Service Products
5. Price Drop Alert System
6. Side-By-Side Product Comparison
7. Product Detail Drill-Down (for faster product searches per user specifications)

Client’s Feedback
Extremely skilled. Very affordable. The project included many technically challenging aspects – such as database indexing, interaction with different APIs, AJAX functionality etc. The work has been of the highest standard of any provider I have worked with on Elance before. Highly recommended.
