In late 2002 to early 2003 we did not have any module to sell our products online and then manage customers, I finally decided to develop a system that will not only help us manage our products but also orders and customers.

So, I started to developed a system that currently has the following modules

» A simple quick shopping cart
» Order Management (Status : Pending, Cancelled, Refunded, Approved)
» Customer Management
» Customer Download Area (with order status alert, downloads, admin notifications)
» Freelance’s Application Management
» Cusotmer NEws Management
» Products Management (custom pages, templates, logos vector)
» Front End - Template Driven + Database (search sort etc)

Below is the screenshot of Front End

This system was integrated with 2checkout.com where a new customer accuont is automatically generated upon succesfull payment. Admin is notified about the new order, admin can login to Administration Panel to “Approve” order or change status to anything like “Cancelled”, “Refunded” “Chargeback” etc. This system is still good enough and working, and we are still not planning to upgrade it. This custom CMS took me 25 days to complete it, its Admin Panel is very detailed.
