New Bootstrap responsive site
Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2017 5:03 am
We just launched a new AbleCommerce GOLD store with a responsive Bootstrap template. We are using Wordpress on the front end (https://healthydesign.com) and AbleCommerce Gold on the back end (https://shop.healthydesign.com).
David Johnson at Ecombuilder Today (http://ecombuildertoday.com) developed the Bootstrap template foundation for us, but we still had a lot of work to do ourselves. We ported in product data and some previous customizations from an older Able GOLD store. Many of the product descriptions were complex with special layouts, so all the coding had to be converted to Bootstrap. Some coding changes could be applied en masse, but we still had to review each product page to tweak the layouts. The Bootstrap learning curve was manageable (we like it!) but it still took time to go through each product page one-at-a-time.
The primary domain is Wordpress. Ablecommerce operates under a subdomain. Therefore, our Google feed is under the shop domain. According to Google this shouldn't affect rankings, but I'm beginning to think it does.
As you well know, these projects are always a work-in-progress. We've still got a lot to do.
Let us know what you think!
