Prestashop Examples

[GeoMal]

I know there are a few ecommerce developers on here, can anyone point me in the direction of a really good example of a Prestashop implementation?

 

[GeoMal]

That's what I was afraid of. 64 views and no one can think of a good example. Any good examples of woo-commerce either?

I can point you our several thousands of Idoisell Shop implementations if needed.

How about just a couple of really good UK implementations?

I had, thanks. They list 7 examples. Of those, 1 doesn't load, 3 are French (though 1 of them is pretty good), 1 had multiple 404s on images, 1 is very uninspiring, 1 is okay but using an outdated version. Is that's they best they can come up with it doesn't bode well.

Interesting. Is it to help you decide what platform to use?

No. For various external reasons it is the chosen platform for a particular job. It is to help convince a client that it could be a good choice!

I am not a developer but you are welcome to have a look at our 'really good' e-commerce shop built on Prestashop Google foodfromcyprus

Ah I see, and the client doesn't understand that it's actually irrelevant what existing shops there are that use a platform? That's something I often see too, clients don't realise that with most ecommerce platforms you can theme them to look however you want.

What's important from their point of view is a whole load of other things like:

• Size of the support community
• Number, price and quality of extensions
• Future of the platform
• Code quality of the platform
• Performance of the platform
• Features of the platform
• Flexibility of the platform
• Ease of development of the platform (as harder means developers will cost more and spend longer doing the same tasks)

As I said, there are other legitimate reasons to choose Prestashop as the platform. However, it's one thing telling them that it can be made to look good, but it requires a leap of faith on their part when they cannot be given a single example! Though I have one that will do. This is where Shopify and Squarespace are making inroads I think. Whatever the pros and cons of using the hosted providers, the client can see many examples of great looking shops!

I think you're spot on. You could always design it first before choosing a platform. That way the client will know the platform choice doesn't affect the design.

Urgh. If a script is on the way out then you don't want to build a site for a client in it!

Frankly, Wordpress + Woocommerce gives designer and owner a chance at getting something usable, without spending 6 months on it.

What script is on the way out?

Prestashop is hard for normal user.
