Ubercart building a reputation for Drupal as good e-commerce solution
In:
12Dec2007
As Ubercart marches toward a beta release, I'm pleased to see more and more stores popping up in the live sites directory. I was just as happy to see a post in my Google Alerts from another development shop finding Drupal + Ubercart to be a good solution for e-commerce development. The guys at Sundays Energy have been doing this openly for a while, and I know several other developers who have pumped out multiple incredible sites (izi are you out there? :P ). The post that just came up today, though, was different. It not only praised our beloved CMS for having a good e-commerce module package in Ubercart, but it also praised Drupal over against the likes of Joomla/Wordpress (and their e-commerce extensions) and other dedicated e-commerce solutions like osCommerce and ZenCart.
The fellow who posted the article seems to be a pretty well-rounded developer who probably has much more experience than me in general and with other e-commerce packages. He likes the combination of Drupal + Ubercart for simplicity, flexibility, and (for lack of a better word) themability. Don't we all? My hope for Ubercart is that it continues to build a name for Drupal as the open source CMS solution for e-commerce... We're working hard to make it easier for folks to use and more applicable for a variety of uses. I'm happy to be working on such a fun project, and even happier knowing it's building a good reputation for Drupal in another niche market of web development. What's good for Ubercart is good for Drupal and vice versa. :)
I found this article through a Google Alert on "Ubercart" as a Digg. You should Digg it, too!
On a somewhat related note, we had a new user post the following quote in our forums: "Ubercart rocks. I was tooling with ecommerce feeling suicidal until I found this." There you have it... Ubercart saves lives.

For what it's worth, another site is saying the same thing.
