Thanks the god , I don't know how to express my exciting of new site start working , let me show some history :
Screambuy.com started to consider to make in 2005 , at that moment , we were not good at site building , but we had lots of interesting products to sell , we studied hard , then i remember in the beginning of 2006 , we made it . But it was just a simple site , which just showed products online , but it was enough for us to tell old customers what we had . Unfortunately , We still had to pay more times on excel orders which is for negotiation , confirmation , proceeding etc.
About the beginning of 2007 , we decided to change , so that customer can buy small quantity products on site directly , and we paid times on big orders . at that time , we didn't know any site building code yet , we tried to use simple software to build , So Screambuy.com's first shop was simple , slow , and complicated . we had lots of good ideas , but could not realized .
The 1st site was changed into 2nd site because we can not bear of too much troubles on 1st one . I remember it should be Jul. - Sep. of 2007 . Again we paid lots of time to revise , but at last , the new site does not work for a long time , because freight is a headache to handle . The 2nd one does not support oversea freight caculation .
We asked some website design guys , they lead us to change again , in mid of 2008 , the 3rd site start working , which was good enough for us to sell lots items on site , we achieved our object , customers were satisfied it too . For a long time , we supposed that was good enough , no need to change . The 3rd one worked for 1 - 2 years , when total products reach 2000 pcs , we found that it was hard to have a good management on big quantity products , things started to go stuck . We dare not to change the site easily because too much working and unknown what happen on new design site .
I thinkwe started to consider 4th design in mid of 2009 , at last a talent gave us an idea of how to change , but it is a brand new system and need hard coding . It was almost impossible for us to upgrade into it . But we didn't give up , we start to learn website coding , design , server info from the first step . It should be 6 months so that we knew how to make . Then we make a local site ( work in my computer only ) , install different module to test stability , put into some products to have trial test , consider how it works when putting on server , put into lots of products to test stability again .... Of course , thousands of bug comes , we have to debug one by one , or sometimes , even can not solve it , we have to find other ways to try .
I remember we started to make mirror site on internet during mid of 2010 , which we supposed it was good revise enough for future development . Then , those thousands of products have to move one by one into this new site . I don't know how to explain what a hard working .
Until today , one day before China middle Autumn , although there are lots of products we don't upload yet , we decide to let 4th designed new site instead of old 3rd one !
I believe this 4th site should be far more better than before one , and there are many great functions . I will tell you in later topics .
Hope that every one will like it , if found errors , please contact us . Thanks for reading !
