overstockArt.com Releases New E-commerce Site
Wichita, Kansas (PRWEB) October 20, 2015 -- overstockArt.com unveiled last week its brand new website. The store has been in development for almost two years and has been fully integrated into all facets of overstockArt.com. The big shift to the new platform launched last week was timed perfectly a month away from the busy holiday season.
"This new innovative store is the future of overstockArt.com," said Amitai Sasson, VP of Marketing & Development at overstockArt.com, "We have been developing this store for the past two years and we are so excited with the end results, we think it's going to wow our customers and give them a much better customer experience."
Sasson explains that the premise of the shift to a new platform came in order to improve operations and improve the way the art and frames are displayed to customers, giving them a better feel for the art and an easier way to gauge the way the art will look on their wall.
"Our previous solution, as great as it may have been, did not do our oil paintings justice, with this new website, customers have a better feel of how the art actually looks like and everything is much more intuitive and easier to browse and shop for art."
The new website is now opened to the public. The store is built on an MVC ecommerce framework called OpenCart and has been fully customized. The store is hosted on a top-of-the-line dedicated server making the new store lightning fast.
This new website is the focal point of overstockArt.com's strategic plan to improve their technology and customer experience. In May the company released the newly designed Artist Become (ArtistBe.com) artist community platform and the following month, overstockArt.com released an innovative new iPad App. In addition to all of the bells and whistles, the new overstockArt.com website also boasts a responsive design that is destined to improve shopping experience on mobile phones.
