Web-based IT solution for Big Property Marketing

Big Property Marketing (BPM) offers management consultancy, finance, marketing, PR, property marketing and photography services to estate agents and private vendors. Its core service is Property Preview, a new professional photography, floor plan and virtual tour service.

BPM needed a complete IT solution that would include content management, workflow, CRM, HR and financial subsystems.

This project required a skill base crossing over many programming disciplines. Magic Web Solutions (MWS) were able to provide these in the form of a highly experienced dedicated developer team. MWS were also open to a flexible pricing strategy that perfectly suited an Internet start-up; BPM benefited from a monthly budget well below that offered by other development agencies, rising only when a certain threshold of returns from the system was achieved.

The initial functionality of the application has been launched after three months’ work. Big Property Marketing’s major competitors spent two years to reach a similar stage, at over double the monthly IT budget.

eButtonz: E-commerce Dreamweaver Extension Project

eButtonz was developed as a collaboration project between MoltenGold Ltd and Magic Web Solutions. MoltenGold deliver an integrated set of products and services to enable web-based e-commerce. MoltenGold wanted to take their product forward by developing a Dreamweaver extension for eButtons. This seemed an attractive option, since most web agencies use Dreamweaver as their web authoring application. It would also attract additional users by publishing extensions at Macromedia Exchange and other sites that list extensions and plug-ins.

That is when Magic Web Solutions joined in. We agreed to do the extension on a share of profit basis, passing the benefit to our partner to save on development cost initially, and opening another channel of promotion for their E-commerce system.

Magic Web Solutions proved to be the ideal partner, due to the team’s high level of programming skills and experience with e-commerce packages. Magic Web Solutions agreed to develop the extension on a profit-share basis. This meant that MoltenGold benefited from initial savings on development costs, while new income streams were opened up through the increased promotion of their system.

Art Industri—Free Artist Portal

In 2001, Marc Doyle, a UK-based artist and designer, had the idea of setting up a website to encourage students and amateur artists to exchange their artistic ideas and views. Artists who registered for the site would be able to upload images of their work, along with descriptions and prices, and send the images as e-cards. They could also contribute articles to the “Art Magazine” section, and access a resource of art history articles in a section titled “Movements”.

The Art Industri website had to be an easily scalable portal application that was cost-effective to develop and maintain. It clearly needed a large amount of complicated functionality, with many interactive features. The artists’ portfolio functions had to upload images, statements and contact information, and allow editing of the same. Additional community functions were to include a bulletin board, a guestbook and favourite links.
