Microsoft® technology stack
The tradeit ecommerce platform is a Microsoft .Net and SQL Server certified application and can be deployed across single or multiple load balanced and fault tolerant servers.
-
.NET Framework
The basis for all our development, Microsoft .NET is a cross-platform, open source framework with a wide catalogue of features. It’s a great platform for building web, mobile, and desktop applications with multiple advanced libraries and editors that reduce the risks and costs associated with developing and enhancing mission-critical business applications. We also use Microsoft's Visual Studio to code in which marries perfectly with the .NET stack.
-
SQL Server
Microsoft's relational database management system is designed to support multiple concurrent users making it ideal for secure and robust, high-volume ecommerce sites.
The latest front-end technologies
We build responsive, mobile-first projects with the world’s most popular front-end framework, Bootstrap, adhering to industry best practice using the pillars of front-end development to design, specify and programme the behaviour of web pages. We use Axure RP to rapidly prototype, design and document everything that the project requires for a detailed reference.
-
HTML5
We deliver HTML5 as standard, developing semantic HTML code to ensure each page is indexed, presented and read as best as possible.
-
CSS3
CSS3 allows us to take full control of layouts, interactions and effects. We construct detailed user interfaces and experiences with a huge level of a support across multiple browsers for great consistency.
-
JavaScript & jQuery
Where possible, we boost interaction and the user experience by applying JavaScript and jQuery to enhance web page manipulation and client-side page loading.

The integration hub makes integrations rapid and robust, through flexible data formats (XML, CSV, TAB) and support for batch and real-time integration methods.
