Last night I launched my clients new, small ASP.NET MVC web site. It's a site for a small motel and effeciencies business in the Catskills of New York.
It has a small, but complete, reservation management system built into it. It allows customers to make a reservation request online and the Admins can manage Customers and Reservations in the back-end.
I decided to write this in ASP.NET MVC instead of WebForms because I hadn't written an MVC site this elaborate. I've built a few MVC sites but none for commercial businesses.
This was a good exercise and it was fun, for the most part. I incorporated jQuery, MvcContrib and used Linq-To-Sql as the repository. The site design was purchased at themeforest.com, and it was well worth the $15.00.
In the near future I will be making the code available in my other site, www.mvcstarterkits.net. I'll also be making a version using EntitySpaces. I'm in the process of doing a redesign on that site and making it more of a mini-CodePlex for ASP.NET MVC applications.
Technologies used for this application:
- ASP.NET MVC v1.0
- Linq-to-Sql
- jQuery 1.3.6
- a few jQuery plugins
- MvcContrib library
You can view the site here.
And as always, it's being hosting with my hosting business, Gizmo Beach.
Let me know if you have any comments.
