In reality it's a highly functional web application that continued to be developed as it was used, that provides the people who run the auction house with an invaluable tool to organise properties for sale.
The Whytehall Auction site was one of a number of projects that we have built for Chek Whyte, one of the country's most successful property developers and a recent participant in Channel 4's Secret Millionaire. The real power of this application lies behind the scenes, however, in a protected area of the website that is used by the back-room staff at Whytehall Auctions to manage the business.
There were a number of challenges associated with the project, the largest being that the site was under development right up until the inaugural auction at Stanford Hall. As the plans and processes at Stanford Hall changed, the way that the site worked needed to reflect this while all the time being used by staff and website visitors. The term 'hot-development' was coined and applied to this method of site building, which was the first project at Niddocks Internet Solutions to be developed in this way.

Specialising in the Marketing, IT and Telephony industries, suppliers looking for leads are able to sign up to the site and provide much more value to their company name by uploading catalogues, case studies and white papers as well as an in depth description about themselves and the services that they offer. Website visitors looking for leads, on the other hand, can navigate the site to find the area of industry that they seek a supplier for, where they fill in a web form that's completely dynamic and put together through the CMS system.
The biggest challenge with this project was to change the branding and colour scheme of the site as the website visitor looking for suppliers selects the different categories and subcategories of industry available. The process of industry categories is, once again, dynamic and controlled by non-technical users in the Content Management System (CMS). As a result we had to build the site so that it coped with an unlimited number of industries and would still function if those categories were added to or removed. Our servers were configured to use dynamic website addressing, so that any category entered into the CMS could be translated to a website-friendly term and used in the address; for example http://www.yourshortlist.co.uk/it_hardware/request-quote.html and http://www.yourshortlist.co.uk/telephony_hardware/request-quote.html. Every page of the site references this part of the address and the resulting content and page styles reflect this.
Besides the dynamically changing colour scheme, a very satisfying area of this project was the opportunity to bring to the table what we knew about both website users and, from our client base, what businesses in this market would look for in a product such as this. As a result we were able to build a solution that was both practical and relevant to the people who use it.
