Well, my web hosting company Hostway is nice enough to move my site to a new web server. I have been a happy customer since 1999. Only once did I ever have a problem and it was fixed within 24 hours. I have found them to be reliable and always willing to help.
The reason I requested to move to a new server is so that I can test an e-commerce platform I ran across called Magento. Some of you may already be familiar with Magento, but for those that aren’t, it is a highly customizable open source e-commerce platform. I’ve seen some screenshots and played with the online demo and was quite impressed that I had to test it out myself.
I spend my days designing user experiences for a large online retailer and there are times when I want to plan out processes from beginning to end and I am hoping this platform will allow me the creativity to do just that and help me become better at what I do. Now I don’t have a real store or real products to sell, so this solution works best for me to test on since it is FREE.
If any of you have any experience with this platform, please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
Cheers.
