Magento product configurator demo

Posted on August 14, 2011 by treehouselogic

Here’s a great example of how conventional enterprise product configurators look. You’ll notice the following

Slow – browser refreshes each time you make a selection
Non-visual – lots of drop down windows with technical product attributes, no previews.
Not guided – no progress bar. Solutions are not curated based on previous selections. Lots of errors
Poorly integrated with Magento – doesn’t pass a custom image to cart, doesn’t show a list of attributes selected.
Awkward user experience – lots of vertical scrolling, no hover previews, no stages.
Long, unique part number – creates a unique, static product number which means millions of part numbers need to be managed by the SKU management.

The product configurator landscape has changed significantly in the past few years. Users demand a much faster, more intuitive, visual, guided experience.
