Community theme update

2017-06-30T05:38:42-06:00June 30th, 2017|

Do you like SEO? We sure do, so we have updated the community theme. We have focused on making it more html 5 compliant and used more html5 and semantic data best practices with it. The standard version of the theme was not bad, but it was dated. So we went through and updated the theme and modernized it. Gulp If you are a developer and you have tried to use the theme in a development environment, you might have noticed that the gulpfile failed. We have fixed this issue and compensated for it. It centered around a bug in jscsrc [...]

Recurring payments in thirty bees

2018-08-23T08:01:20-06:00June 21st, 2017|

When we look at thirty bees right now we do not see a complete e-commerce system. We see major features missing and recurring payments is one. We think the platform can be expanded greatly by adding the ability to have recurring payments. We are starting to look forward at a system that will allow for these kind of payments, but we need ideas and help. The basic system In our minds the recurring system needs to be build into the core and be a managed core system. There are some platforms that deal with recurring payments in modules, but we [...]

2018-08-23T08:01:28-06:00June 20th, 2017|

Trust is one of those qualities that you cannot easily define. But, is worth its weight in gold!
