Suitability of prestashop for my project

[cedrix]

Hello,

 

I will soon starts a new internationnal business. Here is what I need:

- Being able to create quickly a commercial multi-language website (Prestashop 1.5 seems perfect for that)

- I will sell a few products (7) and I will have only two categories (or one).

- I will sell a concept, thus in my main front page I will need to show arguments in several columns, like we have in twitter bootstrap websites. My target is this kind of page http://wrapbootstrap.com/preview/WB0C6D0H4 (theme included)

 

 

For the last point I have some doubts. Will I be able to do that in a clean and efficient way? If yes do you have any advices?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Cédric

Hi Cedric! Welcome to the forums!

 

I think you can easily handle point 3 as well using a custom module, or even hardcoding the pricing table in html in the homepage text editorial one (native). It depends on what you need in the back office!

Well I found this module:

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/246765-free-html-block-module/

With that I can add some html code just under the header. I will add a beauful image slider + my columns. Then under I will have the common prestashop modules. Now I have to improve the design.

 

I also almost found a cool design.

But it doesn't work, as the 5 themes I tried. Is there something with prestashop 1.5.6.2 that makes all of the existing themes not working?

Hi, I can't really vouch for any free themes but you can also try this one, http://www.templatemonster.com/free-responsive-bootstrap-3-prestashop-theme.html

I second Benjamin on that one, a really clean design

Looks like Template Monster don't recommend this for commercial use.

They point you instead to a paid theme:

It may be that some of these themes don't disable/uninstall themselves cleanly. If you have a backup of your store prior to installing these themes, I would revert to that. As a general rule, I recommend backing up before installing a new (non-standard) theme or module.

 

Cheers, Dave

Yeah, free themes don't usually work the best, especially with virtually little support.
