Whitebox provides a most informative, consumer-driven and cost efficient shopping 'experience' for home laundry and dish washing products. The site uses frames and active server pages linked to both SQL Server and Access databases. On-line payment clearance uses the Datacash service and incorporates pre-authorisation of credit cards with final billing following shipment of goods.
"Whitebox is a brilliantly informative and well-illustrated site that tells you almost everything you need to know about washing machines, dryers and dishwashers. My favourite feature is the one where you can programme into its search engine your specific requirements and it will find the relevant models."

R. Hine, Managing Director, Fishing Tackle Store Ltd:
"When planning my web store, the most important criteria were that it should
be:
- easy to use
- uncluttered
- easy for customers to find the products they require
- easy for them to find the shopping basket and shipping charges
- easy for us to add, edit and remove products.
Discover IT worked with me to plan and construct the store which I am happy to say,
fulfill all those criteria. It is very easy to add new products and I was impressed
by the flexibility of the software to handle complex product variants such as multiple
colours and sizes, etc, with different prices, images and shipping weights.
Discover IT provided a focused approach and the store was delivered on time and
on budget."
