Stages of Online Store Development on OpenCart
1. Preparatory stage: study and analysis of the customer's business needs
In order to create an efficiently operating online store, at the initial stage, it is necessary to study all the processes and features of the future online store in detail. After studying the details of the project, we will offer the best solutions for your business.
2. Signing the Contract and the Terms of Reference
An integral part of creating an online store is signing the Contract and drafting the terms of reference. The Contract sets all the obligations and rights of the parties involved as well as the cost and deadlines. The TR outline specifications, requirements to the website and the list of modules and services which need to be implemented.
The actual start of works is after the approval of the TR, and a customer making an advance payment under the Contract.
3. Web Design Development
Design development starts with layout design where elements are schematically shown, based on the TR and a brief filled out by the customer.
After the developed flowcharts approval, the creation of graphic design of the main web pages (home page, directory, product card, shopping cart and checkout page) begins. After the design approval, if necessary, all missing graphic elements of the website are completed.
The next step is html-layout of templates and further programming.
4. Programming
Working on the programming part begins with studying the TR and layout design.
Each project has a team of programmers who create and allocate the list of tasks, prioritising their fulfilment.
The first stage of the software component development is the OpenCart core installation, database setup and back end configuration (setting up currencies, languages, module binding, setting up the menu, the admin panel etc).
After the basic template layout and the customisation of various settings of the categories and products, the customer can create a product category tree and add content to the store.
5. Adding Content
The process of an online store catalogue filling can be performed in different ways, according to the Contract and the Terms of Reference.
Data import is carried out individually, depending on the accounting system of the customer. First of all, import and formatting of the category tree of the product catalogue are performed. Then, the products are imported directly. In addition to the products, data on their price, availability, description, and various parameters and features of the products are imported.
Static pages of such sections as “About the Store”, “Contact Information”, “"Questions and Answers” etc. as well as dynamic sections such as “News”, “Articles” etc. are filled by the customer, unless adding content is assigned to the contractor.
6. Testing
The final stage of the online store development is its testing. During testing, a functional check of the store is performed — registration, login, buying products and other modules.
Upon the completion of testing and elimination of the identified defects, the output is a finished working online store, which will meet the needs of potential customers and yours as a store owner.
The final stage in our cooperation is the customer's payment for the work performed and the access rights provision to manage the online store by the contractor.
Which Engine? Or CMS Choice for Creating an Online Store
Nowadays, the use of various CMS platforms is offered for an online store creation. The most popular among them are PrestaShop, OSCommerce, Joomshop, VirtueMart, OpenCart, UberCart (Drupal), PHPShop, MODx+Shopkeeper, WordPress+Woocommerce, and many others.
Our web studio has developed stores using different engines. Each of them has its pros and cons. Yet, having analysed the engines, we have decided on OpenCart. We have been successfully developing such websites for over 6 years.
Why do we prefer to create an online store on OpenCart platform?
