Technologies

WordPress, PHP, jQuery, custom WordPress plugins.
All the application functionality was achieved by creating custom WordPress plugins this included the automatic quotations, data maintenance and back office order management.

Challenges

This was the first big web application that I built in WordPress and I wasn’t an expert on 3D printing. I did a lot of research and discussion with the client to be able outline what was technically possible. A further challenge is that everything is parameter driven allowing the client to tweak the quotation model for different print colors, materials or speed of delivery.

Length

The project was complete within 2 months elapsed including design, development, testing and deployment.

My Role

Design, development, testing and project management.
