Introducing – Aqua Compare
September 19, 2008 · Print This Article
I am exceptionally pleased to annouce the release of Aqua Compare.
As I mentioned in a previous post I have been actively improving the Aquarists Online Marketplace. The marketplace has been receiving some very good traffic and we have also received some very good feedback about it.
Due to this it was decided that we would improve it. The marketplace was very good and could easily have continued however there were area where we wanted to improve it.
Although it had the facility for reviews to be performed they were in truth not that good and a rating system was not available. The ability to be able to compare products side by side was not available and most of all the search functionality needed to be drastically improved.
Hence the introduction of Aqua Compare.
As you will see this is now hosted on its own domain name with a custom theme applied. Various online stores have been fed into the backend of the system and there are literally thousands of products already in there.
So what functionality does Aqua Compare provide:
- Product comparison
- Product rating and review
- Price comparison
- Merchant rating and review
- Product search
- Price alerts
- Email a friend feature
- And more…
On the old marketplace we had to manually import the data from online stores when they gave us permission to do so. As you can imagine this was a time consuming task and not a lot of online stores had their online products in a format which we could import from. Aqua Compare also has this functionality yet it also has another one. It allows us to scan an entire website of our choice with the owners permission of course and then add this via the back end into Aqua Compare.
The result more merchants and more products to be able to compare.
I have done as many bug tests as possible and have rectified a few that I have identified. There are still some areas which I need to complete however these areas do not stop the site from going live.
Over time we hope to improve this area even more adding more functionality as and where we can to improve the service for our visitors. Any feedback you would like to offer (both positive or negative) would be greatly received and appreciated.
Anyway Aqua Compare is now live. I hope that you enjoy it and find it beneficial.
