Due to the rapid growth of the Internet, people from all walks of life have easy access to a variety of information via e-mail, web browser and mobile applications. Growing parallel with this is the increasing popularity of online shopping sites, bringing ease and comfort to those who don’t have the luxury to spend much of their on malls. The following is a list of guidelines that is needed to comprise the virtual shopping mall:
- Security and reliability
- Product availability
- Product selection via specific category
- Reasonable pricing
- Flexible payment methods
MimeBuzz.com was carefully conceptualized to answer to this call. Imagine a virtual store that can offer almost everything and anything from all sorts of products, services, hotels and resorts reservations, airline ticket reservations, group buy packages, grocery goods and cooked food, you name it we have it. MimeBuzz aims to be the first of its kind here in the Philippines.
My friend who was a part of the development team in creating mimeBuzz.com told me that they built the site from ground up using symfony 1.4. Below is the screen shot of the modified admin generator that used jQuery dataTables and Zend Lucene Search.
Pretty clean huh! The data listing for the CRUD is AJAX driven. I’ve tested the admin and its pretty fast even deployed on a shared hosting. The key to the fast loading was AJAX calls returns small amounts of data, only data needed by the user are returned, eg. the main grid only displays upto 10 data by default and clicking the paginator does not refresh the whole page instead an AJAX call is then triggered to fetch the next batch of data.
