Some months ago I mentioned I was going to be playing around with some big changes on the shop, basically a re-write of the whole thing so it was a lot more functional and better setup than it is now. Just wantd to give a short update, this has really been weighing heavy on me the last few weeks and I basically took almost all of last week off from work to really sit down and look at all my options again and try and formulate a plan. Spent 3 days working on different options that turned out to be not a complete waste of time (learned what I didn't want ) but as of yesterday evening, I think I finally have a platform I am going to be working from. Very much an enterprise commercial type solution, so its going to take me a while to get everything figured out on it, but I think everyone from buyers and sellers a like will be really happy and impressed with this when its done. Very mobile friendly, good invoicing, a shipping calculating module that will actually work and function correctly, really cutting edge and a design that'll compete with any other parts related eCommerce site on the web I think.
As far as I know throughout the many thousands of forums and communities on the internet I've come across, there is yet to be another store front quite like what we have here with sellers manufacturing and selling their own stuff right through the community forum. So, pretty cool setup I hope to have significantly improved in the next coming months.
