Flexible & designer friendly
LemonStand uses a unique approach to templating websites which saves time and gives you creative freedom.
It flexes to your design process and doesn't impose any limitations on your creative vision.
You can do everything right within the interface too. There is no need to navigate through a maze of directories and files while implementing your design. Simply upload your site resources and paste your HTML into LemonStand using the syntax highlighting code editor.
LemonStand is a self-hosted application, built using PHP/MySQL. The code is clean and structured using an object oriented, MVC approach.
CMS features included
What about editing page content? You have two choices:
- Edit the HTML by hand using the syntax highlighting code editor if you want to keep things flexible, or
- Create one or more content blocks per page and use the WYSIWYG editor. This is especially handy for your non-technical customers.
You can easily pick and choose which buttons are available in the WYSIWYG editor as well. Include only the buttons you need and your customers will thank you.
In addition to editing page content, you can manage a blog, complete with comments and RSS. Then display those blog posts any way you like.
Easy to use interface
Running your store should be enjoyable.
That is why we designed the interface to be simple to use and nice to look at. Get tasks done quickly with intuitive controls and less page refreshes because of AJAX.
Adding products is a breeze. Easily manage customers. Process orders like it ain't nobody's business. Write page content and blog posts like a pro. All without breaking a sweat.
Extendable & modular
Need a special feature? No problem.
LemonStand uses a simple and powerful API that allows you to add features specifically for the website you're working on. Seamlessly integrate additional features or add support for third-party services.
Instead of bloating the core feature set with every imaginable bell and whistle that only a few people will use, we put in what was most important and left out what wasn't. We made it easy for you to develop custom modules or add existing ones that you download.
Good for business
Detailed reporting, SEO, marketing and security
Reporting
Create reports on orders, products, categories, groups and product types. And then filter them down further. For example, find out how much tax your store charged customers in the last 45 days. Or the total order income in the last 15 days from orders that are still in the "New" status.
Marketing
SEO features like search engine friendly URLs and custom meta data for every page come out of the box. Easily edit the automated messages that are sent for different reasons (new order, new customer, etc.) right within the interface without having to open a file by hand. Export your customer list for further marketing opportunities like email marketing.
Security
Securely lock down your store by limiting what users see and can do. For example, you can allow certain users to only see orders with a status of "Shipping" and not allow them to change the status.
