Magento: The Next Generation Of E-Commerce Platforms
When, e – commerce solutions OS – Commerce and Zen Cart come to mind first is the name, and free open-source. They were, for a standard shopping cart and online store. However, like all others, and evolve over time to change things. One software platform e-commerce is the new standard for next generation e-mail almost no one mentioned – Magento has risen to become the.
At first glance there doesn’t seem to be a big difference between Magento and Zen-Cart. They are both FREE to download and use, they are highly functional, integrated, and customizable solutions. Both have sophisticated shopping carts, product catalogues, and pricing features. Both support multiple languages and currencies, secure payment gateway options, and newsletter marketing campaigns. So why choose a new software if Zen-Cart has been around for so long and made so many people happy?
Well, the truth is that Zen-Cart has not undergone a major change in recent years to make it user-friendlier and to modernize the interface. So other programmers have jumped in and created a similar software but with better features and more modern interface. Magento was designed to be much more intuitive when it comes to setting up your products and prices, etc. It allows for easy bulk upload of your products, something you have to do manually in Zen-Cart (or find a working plugin). That becomes a vital time saver when you have more than 20 products or are creating lots of new products each month. The Zen-Cart interface was designed to be highly functional, but you really gotta be careful what you are doing and without programming skills you’re almost doomed. Magento not only looks more modern, but the user interface is also much more user-friendly and easier to use.
There are other subtle differences that make Magento stand out from the crowd. First, you have more options in customizing your product search categories. Very important if you want to make it easy for people to find what they are looking for fast. Second, if you have a small business and need to integrate your data with say QuickBooks or your ERP Software, Magento will allow you to do that. Next, Magento’s one-page checkout beats Zen-Cart’s 3-page checkout any day. Finally, Magento has a built-in CMS (Content Management System) that lets you customize your static pages with ease. Sure, Zen-Cart has the “EZ Pages”, which are nice but you still have to put HTML code in there. With Magento you have a bult-in editor that allows you to style your page without having to write HTML code. All in all, it just seems like Magento is more up-to-date and uses technologically advanced features.
There are of cause downsides to it. Magento, being a relatively new software on the market, doesn’t have as many extensions and plugins as Zen-Cart has. To customize the software to your liking you might have to hire a programmer or web developer. Zen-Cart’s Banner Manager makes it easier for you to track your advertising campaigns on your site, and there is no current lightbox feature included in Magento, if you’re a big fan of lightboxes you should use Zen-Cart. But then you are probably a web designer and know what you are doing. Magento was designed for people who have little HTML or php knowledge, which of cause doesn’t mean web designers shouldn’t use it ☺
Whether Magento is the new standard for online stores remains to be seen. I've come to the web design for over 5 years and have seen many new things and go. And one thing is certain; Magento makes me excited and motivated! These guys have taken steps in the right direction and with more people begin to (spread the word!) And the development of open source extensions to this software I have no doubt that it will ultimately succeed. If nothing else, it is good to see that some people still believe that a good thing, and you can use their products for FREE. Just think of how many hours or tedious programming, debugging and testing, they have put into this software, just so you do not spend hundreds of dollars elsewhere. Is not that beautiful? Be thankful!

Housing Buying Still Sweet? Consider the Long Term
For all the doom and gloom about the housing market, it still generally is profitable to own a house. That could be a tough fact to ponder right now, especially to the 16 million homeowners who owe a higher amount on their home loan than their house is worth. But the record suggests the American Dream is a reasonable safe bet. Houses have increased in value by an average of 4 percent annually since World War II. Homes act as hedges against inflation and bestow distinctive tax benefits. Real estate is a leveraged investment; a 10 percent investment produces a 1,000 percent return if the cost of a house merely doubles. Plus there are intangibles: Owning a house provides a sense of freedom, security and community. And you are able to live in your investment. You aren’t able do this with a stock.
Of course, historical trends, no mortgage payments. People are out of the housing market, and too often, people walk across and, incorrectly, to buy time and cost, need to sell in a hurry, you can end up burning. However, if more than 10 years increases the cost of ownership over the recession in the normal downward.
Tony and Liz Iacobelli, who are far under water on the home they bought in the Phoenix suburb of Buckeye a few years ago, aren’t panicking. They owe about $177,000 on their loan on the house that is only valued at $132,000, which is about 40 percent of what they paid. “Houses generally go up in price, and this one will go up again, too,” says Tony, 51, a retired New York City policeman. Several booms and busts have happened in the modern era of housing, which began when 30-year loans became widely available after World War II. This bust has been severe: Nationally, household prices are decreased an average 30 percent from their peak in 2006.
The collapse of the housing market may have put a hault to the notion of using a household as a speculative investment ilke a hot stock. And that may not be a terrible thing, economists say. “People should recognize that value comes from a lot of other things besides an achievable return on the investment,” says Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors. Economists say home prices have risen by about half a percent a year above inflation, or roughly 4 percent, since the 1940s. That number, which is based on the median price of homes sold each year, was inflated a bit by baby boomers starting families and buying bigger houses. Since the National Association of Realtors began compiling statistics in 1968, the median sales cost has climbed 6 percent annually, from $20,100 that year to $195,200 this past August.
In the late 90s, real estate values and stock the same as starting to grow. In the next five years, they appreciated the 8-9 percent, about 5 percentage points ahead of inflation. You will not see among people who bought homes in the 90's and still living in many of them skeptical. May be the value of their homes tens of thousands of dollars less than the peak, but they still often pay twice the value of the buyer. For example, in Ewing, New Jersey, for $ 160,000 house sold in 1996, worth about 410,000 yuan, a few years ago. It is still worth $ 375,000 today.
Buyers careful, however: prices actually took place some laws. In addition to the price of the previous three years 30% standards of the collapse of
Mobile Homes with Modern Styles
A new manufactured home has hit the market, called the iHouse. With conceive principles in the likeness of Frank Lloyd Wrights Usonian design style, this mobile home is a new shift in the conceive of mobile homes.

The only missing determinant mobile homes, found in a Wright design, was a modern style.
In his blog love iHouse, Greenotter wrote – I like the general's house will not be dissipated much space. Room size is highly efficient, clean, comfort and function.
Recently Popular Mechanics magazine wrote about the iHouse in January saying that iHouse like a house that you want from Ikea, it sounds like something from Apple and consists of the amenities you would expect to come from offbeat green company from California selling to a high-end market.
The basic iHouse is 992 sq ft, though the design’s combine of indoor and outdoor space makes it seem bigger. Final prices haven’t been set, but Clayton hopes to deliver it for about $100,000. But the core unit can be expanded by adding additional rooms, in diverse configurations, to suit the buyer’s specific needs.
Wright Usonian house was envisaged to be affordable and easy to build, in which the founding concept of mobile homes. For decades, mobile homes, has been the most affordable housing. Clayton? S new information house does not come up with a substantial price tag, which led to some criticism. The answer is that information in an ordinary house energy efficiency program for the manufacture of home owners significant savings in energy costs.
Frank Lloyd Wright believed that these destitute homes represented the constitutional ideals of the United States. This objective was dormant until now. With the development of a comprehensive iHouse Clayton Wright; found effective and minimalist spirit of mobile and modular housing market.
