My Shoe Gurus Website Implementation
Summary:
- Did competitive analysis of e-commerce products to determine best fit for client needs
- Implemented low cost e-commerce solution which increased profits
Challenge:
JJB Brothers Uniforms and Safety footwear did not have a website and thought they were losing out on revenue due to this. They had very little knowledge of E-Commerce and came to me with little to no idea of what they wanted other than an online presence. I knew they needed a low cost solution that would allow customers to purchase items from them while tracking inventory and automatically generating receipts. The back end for this solution needed to be usable by a low level computer user.
Process:
Once I gathered the requirements from JJB Brothers I did research on E-Commerce solutions, I decided that since they needed something low cost and feature rich to go with an open source platform. Through searching and recommendations I went with Prestashop. I also helped them pick a domain name (which ended up being myshoegurus.com) and a web host. Once we figured out those logistics I implemented the website and configured it to have seamless integration with Paypal and Google checkout to avoid them being charged for setting up a relationship with a credit card company directly It took me about 3 months to implement, which is now live. I am still currently working on a logo redesign for them as well. Unfortunately their web site is currently down.
