<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 />
If you are building a store from scratch, <strong>Odoo</strong> <strong>Themes</strong> are an ideal fit for<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 />
