The Jakomodell webstore, specializing in DIY and model products, already had a successful Joomla/VirtueMart-based webstore. However, due to increased traffic, they wanted to replace it with a more advanced and scalable e-commerce system. They chose OpenCart, which, unlike VirtueMart, WooCommerce, and similar systems, is not integrated into a blogging platform but is specifically designed for webstores. For higher-traffic webshops, switching to OpenCart is particularly advantageous, as it often leads to further increases in both traffic and revenue. In this project, in addition to migrating the entire database and updating the design, we ensured that the product URLs remained the same, as this is crucial for maintaining or improving search engine rankings. The development was completed with admin-enhancing features, such as automatic invoicing and GLS label management.
