The Martyn Lloyd Jones Trust - eCommerce System

Fisher Solutions was commissioned in 2008 to design and build two new websites for the Martyn Lloyd-Jones Recordings Trust. These websites were to replace existing and now rather outdated eCommerce systems. Both required shared and unique content and also display prices in two different currencies for the same products. In addition to physical products such as books and CDs the websites also needed to sell digital items, primarily in the form of MP3 downloads.

In response to these requirements, Fisher Solutions built the following eCommerce database system using an IBM Lotus Notes database.
