This is becoming a familiar formula for us. Two great guys with a great product looking for an ecommerce solution with soul. Welcome to HughandCrye.com. A cleverly designed online store for men's shirts with truly innovative approach to fit. Like Yellowbird and our own store, HughandCrye.com is powered by Spree, our choice for open-source ecommerce.
We love Spree because it has everything that good "enterprisey" ecommerce application should have, but none of the inevitable bloat that's commonly associated with other platforms. We get the features that we care the most about - features like:
- Search engine friendly pages
- Powerful analytics
- Extensible design that's both designer and programmer friendly
- Extremely intuitive product, inventory and order management
- A fully RESTful design and API
That's just to name a few. Even more importantly, Spree is being actively developed by a wonderful core team and has the support of a growing group of Rails developers - working together to keep up to date with the latest developments in the Rails community.
Since the launch of the site, shirt sales have been brisk! The site is currently open to members only, but here's a hint, mention Dynamo during the signup process and they might just let you in!
