About the Online Store

Original Posting Date: Sunday, 13 July 2008 18:25

The online store was created in mid-June with Magento, one of the few open source ecommerce packages that does inventory on size/colour/style.

Megento took a bit of getting used to, but once I understood some of the workings, it became easier and easier to use.  Until today, I had a front page created with WordPress, but it was always my intention to have the front pages done with Joomla 1.5. Today I swaped over, created the front page and did some store links.

It’s not yet finished but it’s functional. Using Joomla (which I’m very used to) lets me add all kinds of things to the site. Particuarly because it’s our link to family and friends all over the world, eventually I intend to add some other info and some personal pages. I’m attempting to get the important bits working first.
