Best eCommerce Site
DotNetNuke Corp., the company behind the most widely adopted Web Content Management Platform for Microsoft .NET, today announced the winners of the second annual DotNetNuke Community Choice Awards, a program that identifies the top DotNetNuke web sites worldwide as nominated and voted on by the DotNetNuke community. IMI Software is very excited to announce that The Beaver Bat Company website has won the 2010 Community Choice Award for the Best eCommerce Site.
The Beaver Bat Company Website
The Beaver Bat Company is the first Long Island based custom wood baseball bat manufacturer. The company produces professional quality, custom wood baseball bats that can be used at any level of play. The Beaver Bat Company came to IMI Software to develop a modern, scalable website with powerful eCommerce functionality that will grow with their business. DotNetNuke was the obvious choice.
One of the most challenging aspects of developing The Beaver Bat Company online storefront was the dynamic nature of choosing a custom wood baseball bat. Users have the option to choose from various wood types, lengths, weights, handle colors, barrel colors, and label colors. Some of the options result in price modifications and others result in bat image modifications. With 15 handle color options, 15 barrel color options and 4 label color options there are over 30,000 unique color combinations. Rather than create over 30,000 unique images, we created a dynamic image generator based on pre-defined images of the 15 solid color bats and 4 sticker colors. Based on the user selection, the appropriate section (handle, barrel and sticker) of each bat are used to dynamically create the appropriate image. This provides the ability for users to see the result of their color choices prior to purchase.
