STROLL: The Subtle Shopping Trolley

STROLL(tm) is a light weight solution to your on-line shopping problem. While other products try to target all possible requirements by providing complex solutions, STROLL recognises the impossibility of targeting all requirements at once and offers instead a light weight solution which can be easily extended and adapted to meet your individual requirements.

STROLL therefore focuses on:

  • Usability: we strive to make your customer's shopping experience as pleasant and intuitive as possible by following tried and tested user interface design principles.
  • Security and privacy: STROLL uses the latest open-source encryption technology to handle payments and credit card, and personal information. No customer data is ever written to disk on the server or transmitted unencrypted.
  • Compliance to standards: how many times has your browsing experience been impaired simply because you are not using the "right" web browser (or even the "right" version of the "right" web browser)? Now imagine the amount of frustration this sort of experience would inflict on your customers, and how this would affect your sales. STROLL works nicely on the latest browsers, on older browsers, and even on text-only browsers such as Lynx and Links. We are committed to the principle that users should be able to browse your site effortlessly whatever web browser they happen to be using. After all, open standards and simplicity are at the very essence of the world wide web.
  • Minimalism: STROLL is light weight. It uses the ubiquitous common gateway interface and has very few software dependencies which means that it can be easily installed on practically any server. STROLL doesn't require a database manager - it implements its own light weight database back-end - or any special changes in the configuration of the web server, which means that it can even run by ordinary users (with no special administrative privileges)
  • Adaptability: STROLL is object-oriented. It has been designed so as to allow it to scale up and adapt to your particular needs.
