| Audience
Feedback: Users responded with compliments on the Configure pages. They liked the
ability to calculate a price based on different hardware components. They also found the
technical support page helpful. |
| Other
Information: This site's main challenge was developing the Configure page
scripts. ComputerSmart wanted to be able to update their prices and components without
having to re-program the CGI script. So, we developed a script that updates
the HTML files and also updates the Configure script from the changes they enter in their
Internet browser. |
