The Bead Babe wanted something funky, fresh — and fast! Open Source software help my client save money, without sacrificing features, in opening their first online store.

The client uses their digital camera to shoot the product after it is made. Then, using the “administration” side of the store, the client uploads their photos, types in a description, sets pricing and shipping options.

An email is sent when a sale is made and the system even produces an invoice with the customers billing and shipping information. Payments are handled through the client’s PayPal account.
