Past Development Projects

Nexation has built a lot of projects since we started in 2002. Some were good, some were bad, and some crashed and burned. Here's a list of the projects that we actually admit to have done.

MexicanVanilla.com

MexicanVanilla.com HomepageI could best discribe this as our "grand experiment in ecommerce". We did it for the experiance of running an ecommerce site.

We operated mexicanvanilla.com from sometime in early 2003 to May 2007.  It was a small niche website that sold imported mexican vanilla. It was a rather small niche market.   And it was very educational.  When we decided to exit the industry, we ranked #1 on Google, #1 on MSN and #6 on Yahoo for the term "mexican vanilla".  We were #1 on Yahoo too for a long time but we got bumped down. I suspect it's because we didn't buy a Yahoo directory listing.  :p

We had a custom in-house built ecommerce shopping cart, a monthly newsletter (with 200 subscribers!) and a spiffy dessert recipe database.  The newsletters were a great way to build a repeat customer base, and the recipes started getting ranked by the search engines and brought in a good amount of traffic for us.
