I’m pretty excited for the guys over at LemonStand because today they’ve opened their product up for it’s Beta launch. LemonStand is a new e-commerce solution that employs the use of AJAX and PHP in a great package with a powerful CMS. I’ve been alpha testing since early November and I’m very impressed with the possibilities that LemonStand will provide for a new generation of e-commerce sites. Here’s a list of some of the features of LemonStand:
- 100% Customizable
- Powerful CMS included
- Easy to Use
- Self Hosted, PHP/MySQL
- Safe & Secure
- Extensible, Modular Architecture
I first heard about LemonStand back in the spring of 2009. I was actively searching for a new shopping cart system to replace the Zen Cart system that I currently employ on my shirt site, Seventh.Ink. I came across LemonStand and was immediately impressed with their attention to detail on the design of their site. I bookmarked them and got sidetracked for a bit..
..Later in the fall, I resumed my search for a new shopping cart system. LemonStand came to mind, and I started following them on Twitter and Facebook. I was waiting for the Beta, but as the weeks went on I started to get impatient so I sent them an email asking when the Beta would be available to the public. Because the guys over at LemonStand are so nice, they told me that they would put me on a list of possible alpha testers due to my interest in the product.
Needless to say, I was pretty darn excited. Within a few weeks they had opened the product up to the alpha group for testing. I jumped on the opportunity and contributed as much as I could over the last few months, sharing my ideas on the workings of the product as I crafted my new Seventh.Ink test site. The result of this experience is fantastic, not only did I get the chance to get a step ahead on using LemonStand, but I felt that my contributions were helpful in shaping some of the functionality of LemonStand.
Today marks the first day in what I believe will be many great days to come for the LemonStand brand. They have a strong product, a great design, and they’re overall fantastic to work with. If you want to help promote LemonStand, you can write about them on your own blog or vote for them to Smashing Magazine to help get LemonStand more industry recognition.
