Novica relaunched handbags.novica.com yesterday. Much like our launch of the Jewelry section a few months ago, stuff ( beautiful handcrafted handbags ) should be much easier to browse through and filter and such. I use the word stuff on purpose though, because the main difference between the jewelry and handbag interfaces is that the handbag interface is built on a general structure that can be used to eventually provide the same functionality to all novica categories.

I actually learned quite a few neat SQL tricks in the process. AJAX is becoming my best friend for building management tools and I'm quite satisfied with the script I wrote to build the front end OLAP structure. Hopefully it'll scale when we include paintings, sculptures, and such in the weeks and months to come.
