Webshop Mals WepYep question

Freeway
1

Hello,

more and more customers ask me if it is possible for them to enter their own articles into their webshop. As far as the pictures i don’t see a problem ( i work with the Max suite) but then i have a problem; the prices and
Mal’s shop! Does anybody had or has that problem to? And iff so perhaps has an sollution to it?

I could use an application like myshop.com or something like it, but i don’t see the point when you use a cms system, to have an extra application just for a webshop.

i have zero knowledge of the rest of the applications like joomla and like to keep it that way ( they make me nervous and that’s why i love the comination of Freeway and Webyep so much) and i would love a guiding hand!

I would realy hate it if i would have to change the cms into something else.
so any help is welcome!
Also i have the problem, that reading manuals is a bit tricky ( therefor again freeway is so nice together with the wepyep suit from max)

regards
Eugenie

I haven’t needed this yet but if the cart is an URL based link - ie: of the
simplest kind - then it shouldn’t be impossible to extract that code from a
published (Freeway) page and then insert it into the HTML box of a webyep
box.

Now the client is going to have to be able to identify the html code enough
to work with it - WITHOUT breaking functionality.
And be able to operate a backup policy so that they can revert if they do
get into such difficulty.

This would still be possible if using more complex ways of using Mals cart
but might be harder to manage.

But then why not have a place where you publish a page or pages on the site
that are to be edited by a html editor or text editor?

This would have to be done so the rest of the site can be kept within
Freeway and not overwrite the user editable pages when republished.

There’s no way back to the original Freeway document except if the code
edits are all redone within the Freeway document. But it could work if the
client understands the workflow and cooperates.

Of course if someone is up for doing this they’d probably be up for doing
their own site.

That’s why its is much much easier probably cheaper in real terms for the
said client to get a Mac and Freeway and take over the Freeway document -
and use you as overseer, trainer, backup guidance etc.

not a lot of help am i!

all the best

Hi Brian, thanks for the helping hand… but…you realy want me and and i think a lot of other people out of work??? LOL
no way am i letting my clients buy a mac AND freeway! ( sorry Joe) i have most of my clients on a mac already, that is not the point, but as soon as they have them on freeway, i’m out of a job.

but no kidding now.
That’s no option, it’s to much work for them, and mostly the shops are more than 200/300 articles.
my clients work on a mac, because they know where to find the out and on button on it. ( and the ‘pc’ is such a nice design) and no i’m not putting my clients down, its what they say their self.
I make sites for people who work in the fashion bussines and beauty industrie and have no time for their website or webshop.

I had contact with darling Max and he pointed me in the direction of Romancart.
I will seriously look into it, it looks so good on the site!!! it could be the answer to my problems.

I’m sure i’m not the only one, with this thing!
Thanks for thinking with me!

Well no - but if a client is really serious about wanting direct immediate
control of their own web site they are either daydreaming - because the
realities are too impractical for their time and head and budget - or they
are going to find a way to leave you anyway and try other approaches - or of
course they hear the options and believe you and accept that its easier to
let you take care of them.

But it has worked for me to help others fish for themselves rather than
selling fish. There are some who want to collaborate in setting up the site

  • and then be shown just how to effect the ongoing edits that they want to
    do. And have come back to me for site changes of a kind they prefer me to
    undertake - using their current document of course. I charge for making the
    site and any training and support.

On the other hand is isn’t unusual for clients to go independent after I
have made a site via their nephew or some html editing alternative.
The independent streak is very strong in many people and takes all sorts of
expressions.

But my reply was meant to show that for almost all cases - the skill level
and work of editing mals inside Webyep is way too high - and the liability
of messing up way too easy.

Via Freeway and actions changing these things is clear and quick - though
wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to work with the fields inside a
spreadsheet, database or list (like the edit resources in Freeway) - so one
could just update stuff in one interface and have it altered in all the Mals
action items.

Let us know about Romancart - sounds like you have to run on CO_bbles_Tone

all the best
