Hudson Horizons Launches an Online Marketplace for Students, DormRoomNotes.com

Hudson Horizons creates online student resource website that allows college students to buy and sell class notes and study guides

New Jersey web development company, Hudson Horizons, is proud to announce the launch of an online marketplace for college students, DormRoomNotes.com.

DormRoomNotes.com is a social community where
students can go to buy or sell lecture notes and study guides from other students. Their main goal is to enable students to increase knowledge and studying potential while making money for being a good student. 

The
web development team at Hudson Horizons designed and developed the website from the ground up, utilizing MS SQL Server and ASP.Net technology. The e-commerce integration was performed via PayPal using two methods:

•    Collection of funds via PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN)
•    Disbursement of funds via PayPal mass payout function

Members have the ability to maintain a cash balance or transfer funds directly to their PayPal accounts.

Hudson Horizons also integrated a PDF conversion process into the DormRoomNotes.com website that allows for on-the-fly conversion of Word and text files into Adobe PDF format. “The conversion is helpful when dealing with students that use different operating systems. The PDF file format is used extensively online and was the best solution for the project requirements”, explains Matt Mayernik, VP of Web Development for Hudson Horizons.
 
DormRoomNotes.com allows students to choose a price, based on the quality of their notes, and upload the files to this online marketplace for other students to purchase. Lauren Phillips, a student at Rutgers University, says, “I always stress out the night before a big exam, but with Dormroomnotes.com, I am able to see different perspectives on certain subjects and on how students study in different ways. It has helped me to improve my grades affordably.”

DormRoomNotes.com is a great resource for students who want to develop better study skills, receive higher grades, and make some extra money. Join today and your first note is free! New members are automatically credited $1 to their account.
