  1. I am pretty sure making a template built on TB that does pretty much everything that this site does is doable, as long as we are just talking about js/css design elements. And as I pointed out about elasticsearch, some if not all of the features are already available in TB core, modules or possibly with prestashop 1.6 modules.

  2. @traumflug said in Update on thirty bees:

    There’s another reason why offering a fairly feature complete rather than a reduced default installation is a good idea.

    Yes, it is not about reduced default installation, on the contrary, I totally agree that feature-rich is very important, the more features the better and the more attractive it will make TB. It is about the default theme/look setup on a stock installation.

    They don’t.

    I was referring to international giants in general, such as Amazon that was referenced in the previous post, not to that specific site.

  3. I think it is very important to note in such threads that modifying core code directly is not recommended and won't survive future TB/core updates (manual copying of modifications is required when upgrading). It's always best to use overrides when possible.

  4. I generally agree with your post, @colorful-ant , with one exception. You have to remember those online retail giants are also working internationally and conform with international laws as well. They also spent and keep on spedning millions if not billions in marketing R&D to figure out what works in online marketing and what doesn't. Imitating them and learning from their very hard learned and highly paid lessons is wise and completely does not contradict with fighting these giants, ie. fighting them by having good sales through our TB shops. :)

  5. Yep. I guess he meant that this is how the checkout should be looking by default, so that those BO options (of those fields) will be disabled by default on a stock installation (while can be enabled by admin of course, if and when needed). One of the best marketing advisors I ever met once told me - simplicity is the key. The more you simplify your UI/UX and make important things stand out and be more accessible, the better conversions you will have. Regardless of the one-page-checkout point , I think @ajensen27 made some valid points for improvement (and so did I :) ), and we always appreciate (constructive) feedbacks, whether we accept them as they are, modify them a bit, build on them or skip them altogether.
