We’ve been busy behind the scenes here at Cruzbike and we are getting very close to unveiling a beautiful new website which is the next step in the evolution of the Cruzbike brand. It will be simpler, cleaner and more secure. It will be mobile and tablet friendly and better optimized for search. We hope it will also better reflect our our core values, mission and community.
I’ve worked with Magento, Expression Engine, Drupal and Wordpress in past website and e-commerce projects, but for the new Cruzbike.com, we decided to ditch the content management system and heavy e-commerce solution in favor of a very simple approach utilizing a cool new tool called Snipcart. With simple HTML markup, we’ve been able to design and build clean, beautiful (on both the front and back ends) custom pages that we think finally do the Cruzbike brand and product line justice. The coolest part (to me) is that we are totally agile with this approach - we can add and change pages quickly and are in total control of how elements on the site look and function.
I know many of you have a lot of experience when it comes to web development and will know better than I do what I’m talking about. Working for Cruzbike is pretty cool that way - we have very smart, thoughtful customers/friends! As such, I’d be grateful for your feedback when we roll out the new Cruzbike.com.
In the meantime, say your farewells to the Drupal platform and get ready for its replacements in the Cruzbike world:

- Shopping Cart: Snipcart
- Forum: Xenforo
- Blog: Wordpress (okay so we didn't totally ditch the CMS)
