Benefit of Magento #2: Always Staying Current

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

I recently received an e-newsletter for the Magento Group informing me that they will be releasing a new 1.7 Enterprise Version in Q4. I’m totally floored for this release for a two reasons: One is the attention to detail used for optimizing the platform. The second is the Rewards Points feature for users.

Anyone who has developed a community or enterprise open-source platform understands a sluggish Web site that may accrue due to the robust features that come with either platform. Magento has been on top of this possible headache for some time now and with the release of Version 1.7 we will get to see Magento optimized.

The second reason I am looking forward to the release is the Rewards Points System. After building over 25 Magento Web sites, I have had a handful of clients asking for a Rewards system to offer their users. The reason why I am so thrilled with this add-on is because it helps increase online business for those who use it and gives back to loyal online customers.

The rewards feature is just one of many upgrades coming to the Magento 1.7 enterprise version. If you missed the newsletter or want to read more about the new release, go here.

Please post a comment if you have any questions. 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.
