Evaluation Criteria for osCommerce Development
Bestwebdesignagencies.com, the independent authority on web design agencies, evaluates and ranks the best web design and development agencies. The online ecommerce industry provides vendors with the opportunity to offer their products online to a wide national audience. Ecommerce platform OSCommerce serves as an open source solution for online ecommerce shops with a large community in custom web design and development for the platform.
We evaluate agencies that provide custom solutions for the OScommerce platform based on customer references and our evaluation criteria created through understanding the most important dynamics of OScommerce development.
Development speed delves into the processes for base development, testing, and rolling out changes to a live distribution. The amount of time it takes to go from a concept to a completely working feature is examined on a project-to-project basis to better understand the overall process.
Design quality focuses on the different aspects of design starting with creating a mockup of what the OScommerce website would look like to implementing the design into the live site. Stock photography and assisted designs used in the overall process are also scrutinized.
Code security focuses on the risk assessments performed to ensure that the code will not easily be exploited and that extra security processes are in place to prevent the code from being compromised. Whether the agency uses its security systems or is assisted by a third-party security service is examined and critiqued.
Standardization covers elements of the development process that ensure that the custom development meets the standards of the OScommerce development community. We compare works done by each agency to ensure that standards are being met to ensure the development agencies are capable of creating flexible code.
Modulization focuses on the aspect of module development to ensure that new features are modulized and not written directly into the code to ensure that unwanted features can be removed or changed easily without major consequences to the overall functionality of the website.
