Today Foldi launched AliBooks.com, a site offering custom photo books and photo archiving services. Along with the site design and build, Foldi developed a gift card program for AliBooks.com that included an activation and redemption system to be managed by AliBooks staff.

As a small business looking to grow, AliBooks wanted to take advantage of the new revenue opportunities gift card programs can deliver. However, going to one of the corporate gift card providers was not an option. Leveraging expertise in web development as well as commercial product and packaging design, Foldi was able to build out a program that fit AliBooks’ budget. The project took two months from start to finish and has already generated pre-order sales.

The site was built using a combination of PHP/MySQL/JQuery and AJAX. Along with the front-end development, Foldi developed a full featured admin system allowing AliBooks staff to update content, view stats and manage gift card orders and activations.
