Almost 200K USD. That seems like quite a steal, almost a reverse heist. Amazing that the museum was able to work that out. I wonder about the size of the team, how tight the spec was, etc. It's been fun to search around...a very impressive collection for sure.
- sbr464 7y agoNear the bottom of the UK bid site is public Q&A with some interesting technical tidbits, such as integrating with a Magento web shop, etc.
- themodelplumber 7y agoYeah, that's pretty interesting for sure: > A previous project to replatform and rebuild the site that was aborted in early 2017, has yielded a significant amount of development work on the design, creating multiple assets including content models and front-end design that we would like to repurpose. > Earlier this year we conducted a new discovery phase to re-establish what we were setting out to achieve and this has culminated in a new vision and objectives for the website, high level requirements, user stories and technical options and recommendations. Phew. Reading that and trying to imagine the circumstances, I feel for those previous-platform people too.
