Design in progress
A new webshop + app for a local sportsstore is nearing completion this week.
For those who have seen it: yes, it's built on osCommerce, one of the most widely used Open Source webshop frameworks. This has one major benefit: a huge community of users that can help giving their support.
It also had one big downside: the current release osCommerce looks awful (if not changed) and is NOT based on web standards in its behind-the-screens design. It's based on nested tables, just as many other websites from the pre-1999/2004 period. We've completely revamped its structure and turned it into something that makes proper use of CSS & XHTML. This can help increasing the amount of customers a webshop can reach out to, and it decreases the amount of source code enormously! We have also altered the PHP used into something more Object-Oriented-like, without losing osCommerce's functions.
