New Mesa Tactical site unveiled
Posted 1 January 2007
Today after struggling with our OSCommerce shopping cart for over two years, I finally shitcanned it in favor of a new Mesa Tactical site based on Textpattern.
Because the shopping cart was so brittle (difficult to change once it was set up) and also because we kept having problems with our SSL certificate and UPS shipping module (which were hard problems to pin down without lots of finger pointing), we decided last year to get rid of it and refer as many sales as possible through our dealers.
Also, I was tired of my people complaining about this or that that was wrong or missing on the website. Now if they complain I can just tell them to fix it themselves. Everyone has a login.
I love TextPattern. The more I work with it, the easier it will be to build more sites. I have three additional projects in mind.
