Our Endeavor
We had a nice time working on the EnglishHall.com system. The job was both challenging, as well as interesting. We implemented all the add-ons for the website and also successfully integrated them with the present EnglishHall.com system. The functionalities were designed and developed so that they were efficient and robust so that they can be easily built and integrated into the complete system. We were also able to customize the EnglishHall.com system as per the client's requirements. We developed a section in the EnglishHall.com administrative console to allow the administrator to define the order in which the products need to be displayed to the customer. We also fixed all the bugs in the EnglishHall.com shopping and registration system to ensure that the system provides all the functionalities to the user and that the system is free of all bugs.
