Goals of creating an auction site

An auction is a great place to buy a good thing at a bargain price. There is also an element of excitement, raising the stakes the participant is in anticipation of winning. However, not only participants can benefit from this event. Being an auctioneer is profitable, because a percentage of each transaction belongs to him.

We have received an order to develop a car auction site. In this case, we will tell you about the progress of our work and show the results achieved.

First, the goals of creating a website were set:

Create a bright and interesting design that will attract the attention of users.
Develop separate functionality for users and dealers, as well as various forms for registering accounts on the site.
To realize the opportunity to sign up for a car assessment through the form on the website.

The reason for going online: It has long been impractical to conduct auctions offline, online is more convenient and understandable. Quick registration, the ability to place a bet in two clicks, and most importantly – all transactions can be tracked in real time. That is why people choose the Internet, and your task is to squeeze the maximum income out of it.

Stages of auction site development

Shall we talk?

We start any project with a conversation with the client about his wishes regarding the site. After that, we find the most suitable implementation option and get to work.

Design is important.

The first step to a good website is a high-quality design, user-friendly interface and the right structure.

Programming.

Prepared layouts are sent to programmers for the layout of a full-fledged website.

A control panel is required.

The next step is to implement a CMS that gives access to content management on the site.

Let's write something smart.

A fresh, newly created site requires filling. Therefore, we involve copywriters and content managers who will do this.

Trust, but check.

The next step is to conduct tests that will help us understand if everything is OK with the site. When we are sure that everything is functioning well, we send the site to hosting.
