Tiivistelmä
The goal of this final year project is to develop a complete e-commerce solution for “Eläintarvike Murren Murkina Oy”, renewing their old website that was developed using Joomla, to give a new modern touch at the same time by adding new features and functionalities. During this project were taken into account several aspects of web development, design, marketing and optimization in order to increase the number of visitors.
Before start with the project an evaluation and comparison of different content management systems (CMS) to be used in the project was done. Magento, Oscommerce, Drupal and Joomla among others were taken into account but in the end the Prestashop and WordPress combination were chosen.
Prestashop has been used to cover the ecommerce part allowing the user to have an easy shopping experience. Prestashop covered all the needs except the blog section, which was realized with WordPress. Prestashop has several blog modules but none of them can be compared with WordPress functionalities.
Many different kind of problems were faced while developing this project which were solved with custom modification and many other techniques, so several of the front-end web development skills were improved during this project.
