We need a Windows app developed that will let users easily browse/search/sift through the contents of a flat-file database.
The database consists of several hundred records, each of which is the name of a product. There are roughly 65 attributes for each product, many yes/no, others are a choice from a list.
The interface will need to allow users to place checkmarks next to the attributes they are interested in. Hitting “Search” should return the names of all products that exactly match the attributes selected. Clicking on the name of the product in the search results should launch a web browser and take the user to a URL associated with that product.
As for the database itself, we have two options: either embed the database in the app, or have the app connect to it via the Internet at the time of search. Please give us a price on both options (the latter is more desirable).
Want a 37signals/basecamp-ish interface – large buttons, clean fonts, etc.
