<strong>How</strong>​ ​<strong>Store</strong>​ ​<strong>Owners</strong>​ ​<strong>can</strong>​ ​<strong>Save</strong>​ ​<strong>Time</strong><br />

<strong>Using</strong>​ ​<strong>Odoo</strong>​ ​<strong>Themes</strong>?<br />

No matter how easy it may seem, but conceptualizing a website from<br />

scratch requires much more than just designing ideas. Especially, if the<br />

task is to visualize an ecommerce site, it is nothing less than theorizing a<br />

Quantum Mechanics thesis. No extrapolation of the facts in this<br />

statement.<br />

A corporate website, a blog or a service oriented website isn’t really as<br />

complex as an online store could be. The complexity lies in the varied<br />

elements for Product Pages. The challenge is in the typical nature of<br />

guided funnels you must incorporate to convert the site visitor into a<br />

uyer. The purpose of the latter is to have longer session time and that’s<br />

about​ ​it.<br />

An​ ​Offline​ ​Footwear​ ​<strong>Store</strong><br />

Typically, when you enter a Footwear store, the display area would be<br />

amassed with kids section or female sections. Whereas the adult male<br />

section would be on the far side of the store. These placements are<br />

strategic, to induce a purchase which was not intentional at the time of<br />

entry​ ​for​ ​the​ ​store​ ​visitor.<br />

Important​ ​Elements​ ​of​ ​a​ ​Web​ ​<strong>Store</strong><br />

A news & media site makes revenue through the ads, the purpose there<br />

is a prolonged session. As long as the site visitor remains on the site,<br />

their revenue meter continues running. <strong>How</strong>ever, in case of a web store,<br />

it is about real-time conversion - it is about whether the sale is made or<br />

not. Therefore, the Home Page, Product Pages and the category<br />

navigations​ ​require​ ​more​ ​attention​ ​than​ ​the​ ​latter.<br />

❏ Designing​ ​a​ ​Product​ ​Page:<br />

The majority of the UX pundits spend their efforts in deploying just the<br />

right elements for the Product Pages and the Landing Pages. Which<br />

elements are to draw a click on the “Buy Now” button and what more<br />

<strong>can</strong>​ ​be​ ​shown​ ​to​ ​increase​ ​conversion​ ​is​ ​the​ ​key​ ​to​ ​designing​ ​these​ ​pages.<br />

❏ Micro​ ​Elements​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Pages:<br />

Social sharing buttons are part of most themes. Their use case is quite<br />

different for an ecommerce store. And, it further becomes more complex<br />

when​ ​you​ ​visualize​ ​the​ ​responsive​ ​design​ ​for​ ​the​ ​entire​ ​site.<br />

❏ The​ ​BUY​ ​NOW​ ​Button:<br />

You may prefer a sticky right hand bar for the Desktop design to feature<br />

the “Buy Now” section, along with the price and related information.<br />

<strong>How</strong>ever, for the responsive design, you would like to keep them at the<br />

base. The challenge on the HTML side to do this is to duplicate the code<br />

and add conditions to hide the sections for the given use case of device<br />

type.<br />

And yet, we haven’t gone far enough to add business specific use cases<br />

on​ ​the​ ​Product​ ​Pages​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Landing​ ​Pages​ ​for​ ​the​ ​ecommerce​ ​site.<br />

Theme​ ​based​ ​Designing​ ​vs​ ​Custom​ ​Design:<br />

It is a given fact that to create custom website design, you would need<br />

more time and effort. The advantage here is that you would be in total<br />

control of what you want and further changes. But that is a narrow view<br />

and ignoring the fact that there could be ready themes to suit the needs<br />

of a robust ecommerce store. Yes, there will be small customizations still<br />

needed​ ​to​ ​personalize​ ​the​ ​theme​ ​for​ ​your​ ​business.<br />

But, it saves time in designing the site. It saves time every time you need<br />

a new landing page or a microsite for marketing promotions. And, this<br />

method clearly ensures that you do not miss out what new technologies<br />

offer​ ​that​ ​you​ ​did​ ​not​ ​visualize​ ​as​ ​possible​ ​element.<br />

The​ ​Ecommerce​ ​View:<br />

<strong>Odoo</strong> hailed as a software solution from ecommerce industry. Their ERP<br />

solutions are already widely used across the industry. <strong>How</strong>ever, ​<strong>Odoo</strong><br />

<strong>Themes</strong> are just the perfect solution for an ecommerce store. For<br />

starters, it takes the effort of creating a design from the scratch. And,<br />

they​ ​provide​ ​a​ ​perfect​ ​<strong>can</strong>vas​ ​to​ ​customize​ ​your​ ​vision.<br />

Hard​ ​Coded​ ​<strong>Themes</strong>​ ​with​ ​Patches​ ​of​ ​JS​ ​and​ ​Ajax:<br />

While hard coding and designing a website, even a season Project<br />

Manager’s knowledge is limited. Whereas the wireframes demand quite<br />

complex implementation. This scenario is not very uncommon for a<br />

mid-sized ecommerce company. In most cases while developing a<br />

custom theme, the developer overly uses the JS to achieve the desired<br />

functionality.<br />

Now, there are mobile browsers Opera and UC Browser who promises<br />

the load the pages faster than others. They achieve this functionality by<br />

‘commenting’ the JS code. When your “Buy Now” section is loaded<br />

through the JS, you are not going to lose all these customers. For the<br />

users having to load the JS, the page load times are going to take<br />

signifi<strong>can</strong>t beating if such JS is included in the body text. In the instance<br />

of loading them via Footer, you would not be able to provide the quality<br />

UX​ ​you​ ​aspired​ ​to.<br />

Theme customization is the best answer to solve such puzzles. <strong>Themes</strong><br />

developed by players such as ​<strong>Odoo</strong> and WooCommerce have extended<br />

features to integrate most of the known use cases for an online store.<br />

Their HTML coding is extremely rich and a number of complex features<br />

<strong>can</strong>​ ​be​ ​integrated​ ​without​ ​having​ ​to​ ​resort​ ​to​ ​patches​ ​of​ ​Ajax​ ​and​ ​JS.<br />

WooCommerce​ ​vs​ ​<strong>Odoo</strong><br />

In the space of ecommerce, if you are looking for a beautiful looking<br />

website, there aren’t any better options than these two. They both<br />

promise a pleasing to the eyes website and dedication towards e<br />

commerce industry. <strong>How</strong>ever, they both operate through a different<br />

genre​ ​within​ ​this​ ​space.<br />

<strong>Odoo</strong> specializes in ERP solutions whereas WooCommerce remains a<br />

plugin rich extension (or plugin, call as you may like) of WordPress<br />

platform. As platform, we all loved WordPress for the ease, for the<br />

beauty​ ​and​ ​for​ ​their​ ​blog.​ ​<strong>Odoo</strong>​ ​has​ ​stepped​ ​a​ ​level​ ​up.<br />

your requirement. For an existing store, you must analyze what are your<br />

critical​ ​business​ ​needs​ ​and​ ​which​ ​platform​ ​you​ ​are​ ​currently​ ​on.<br />

To search for that perfect theme for your business or your client is the<br />

stepping stone to building a great website. ​<strong>Odoo</strong> <strong>Themes</strong> for any<br />

business and especially ecommerce industry are an ideal fit. It is easy to<br />

integrate, easier to customize and just as easy to map operational tools<br />

with a site built with <strong>Odoo</strong> software. Choosing the option to go with a<br />

Theme takes the effort away from complex coding and lets you focus on<br />

the​ ​UX​ ​and​ ​elements​ ​of​ ​the​ ​website​ ​for​ ​different​ ​set​ ​of​ ​pages.<br />
