I didnt build it but i've done some maintenance work on it. And i agree. Under the hood it's pretty good too.
Believe it or not, it was built by people learning as they go. They built it with the docs on one screen and CFWACK open on the desk. It's sort of how the whole business has happened. One of the principals of the business is really more into IT than the business. It's mostly his hobby that has grown to become his life. For people that dont know, oo.com.au is a business that sells factory overstocked items. They have hundreds - maybe thousands - of SKUs on the catalogue - watches, jewellery, bikes, electronic items .. all kinds of stuff. They have outgrown several warehouses. They buy up run-out stock items or items that are overstocked (hence the name) and sell them through their web site and through their email broadcasts. They are innovative in quite a few ways, including the way they handle customer service. They've been highlighted on tv recently for hiring customer service people who are stay-at-home mothers, working from home at any hours they choose. The site is doing huge business now, starting only a few years ago from a good idea and the revenue is in the millions. One of the amazing things about this site is it was built by people who knew little about web development when they began. Try THAT in any other technology!
