CardsMadeEasy is an Internet start-up business who specialise in printing premium quality business cards, letterheads and compliment slips at affordable prices.

People in the company have many years experience in the printing industry and hope to use the Internet to reach out for more customers across the country and possibly to Europe and worldwide.

CardsMadeEasy wanted to create an intuitive, fully interactive and robust web site that allows their customers to design business stationery of varying complexity very quickly. It was imperative that the re-ordering and credit/debit card payment processes were fast and secure.

Differentum helped CardsMadeEasy with

		defining business processes
		designing and constructing the web site including sophisticated and intuitive business card design software
		integration of e-commerce to enable customers to pay for their order using a credit or debit card online
		construction of a fulfilment system
		building a portal for the Customer Support department to help with queries
		monitoring, managing and hosting the web site and database
To provide a cost effective solution, Differentum chose a combination of technologies which were affordable but also secure, reliable and scalable in terms of usability and upgradability.
The web site was developed using a combination of PHP, JavaScript and Java that gives visitors a more personalised experience. We chose MySQL as the database software for its reliability and its tight integration with PHP.

Denis Kearton, CardsMadeEasy's Chief Executive, said, "The selection of our implementation partner was the key to our deployment plan. Differentum have delivered us with an excellent product using their outstanding technical and business process expertise."
