Archive by tag 'We recently launched a mini site for an independant music label in Canada. The challenge was to build a full site with CMS and ecommerce capabilities….in less than 3 weeks. Thanks in part to Magento downloable product module, we could achieve this
- Magento downloadable products allow users to listen to samples of the songs and even buy individual songs (like on iTunes)
- We choose Magento because for phase 2 the store will sell t-shirts and physical albums, and everything is already set. These are just different type of products, you don’t have to create a new admin or a new back-end, the logic is already there. And this is a huge plus
- We played a bit with the templates to create a better user experience and it was fairly easy with Magento. For example we added a flash music player component for samples so users can click on the link/button and listen without leaving the page
- It’s pretty user-friendly. The client is now using it full time with very limited input from us a month later. They add mp3, albums, images, content, etc…
You can see the store here at boutique.laconfiserie.net. Sorry it’s all in french but I’m sure you can get the idea. By the way, we did the development only for this project
