Marine Corps Association
WebFirst developed an e-commerce system for the Marine Corps Association using Microsoft .NET technology. MCA disseminates knowledge of the military art and science among members, provides for professional advancement, fosters the spirit and preserves the traditions of the Marine Corps, and increases the efficiency of the Marine Corps to further the interest of the military and Naval Services in all ways not inconsistent with the good of the general government.
The e-commerce system that WebFirst built for MCA integrates with the products of two other vendors who MCA had previous relations with. The online store works with a separate accounting system called DataPro to process all orders and to retrieve inventory. Additionally, it worked with a membership system from Members Only Software for online membership and renewal sign-ups. Additionally, a User Registration system was built so that all users are required to register before placing orders. Users can then login to modify their profile at any time, which automatically gets reflected in the membership system, and can also add or edit addresses in their profile for easy ordering.
In addition to building a complex e-commerce system, WebFirst gave the online store and the main home page a professional and clean look in line with their current marketing materials and branding.
