Top 5 Reasons To Use The Magento Platform

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Reason 1:
My name is Luke I am a Customer Solutions Specialist with MagentoCommercePros.com. Each week I will be writing about our experience working with the Magento Platform and counting down our top 5 favorite reasons why we enjoy using it.

Since we started working with Magento over a year ago, we have realized how powerful this platform truly is. We have found the Magento Community and Enterprise edition to be some of the best solutions for managing multiple store URLs from the back-end. Our clients also appreciate how easy Magento makes managing multiple URL’S:

One client that comes to mind is Betterbraces.com. BetterBraces came to us looking for a way to simplify its day-to-day tasks. When we sat down with the client we quickly realized that its problem was one we had seen many times before: Our client was spending most of his time repeating tedious tasks such as uploading new SKUs, which included pictures and content, for each separate Web site. We knew then that using the Magento platform would be in our client’s best interest. Our client was also amazed at the amount of additional features the community version came with, but I will speak to you about that next week. As our development for this project wrapped and our tutorial work began, the BetterBraces was officially able to manage its 5 stores online.

Betterbraces is now seeing an increase in business and a decrease in time spent maintaining its sites.

Let me know if you have any questions or experienced a similar situation. I would be happy to hear from you!

Software Provider Enables E-Commerce and Usability

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Article Summary: User interface is a key determinant in whether a visitor bounces off your site or not; utilizing a trusted and efficient open source software provider will ensure a seamless user experience.

E-commerce Web site success depends on the site’s user interface. Various levels of user interface designs and functionality are available, depending on your niche online audience and organizational capacities. An easy-to-use interface will increase conversions, your bottom-line, and is the deciding factor for whether or not a visitor explores the site or clicks out.

How does one provide an easy user experience for future visitors and clients? Attention must be grabbed at the onset of arriving to a site. A user interface must be just that: Usable for the visitor. This is a challenge and Internet technologists take it as an opportunity for innovation. Nothing is more gratifying than to meet user demands in any way, shape or form.

Use of Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) – software with liberty – by technologies has grown exponentially. The freedoms of open source software bestowed by software developers has driven phenomenal innovation and raised the bar in satisfying customer thirst for creative and efficient software solutions. F/OSS gives developers the freedom to run, distribute, study, modify and improve the software by allowing them source code access.

F/OSS has assisted software developers in reducing the gap between businesses and consumer by taking advantage of its “open to innovation” nature. Internet software technologists have started tackling the nuances of e-commerce to make the end-user experience as seamless and hassle-free as possible. MagentoCommercePros is an example of a software provider that offers customizable platforms for myriad e-commerce solutions.
