Want to learn more about Ubercart & e-commerce for Drupal?

Ubercart is a Drupal e-commerce solution that has quickly gathered a lot of buzz within the Drupal community over the past couple of years. The folks over at Top Notch Themes have eloquently listed the seven reasons why Ubercart has been the right e-commerce choice for them, and one of the most compelling ones is the community momentum behind the project.

There are a number of beautifully designed and robust stores that have been coming out such as Transformetrics Fitness Products, Fleurville Parenting Products, Rifftrax Digital Downloads, H. JLYNN jewelry, Mint Bags and Nutriprima Health Products.

Top Notch Themes even started selling custom themes for Ubercart, and wrote up a great handbook write-up for Creating an Online store with Drupal where they talk about how Ubercart leverages Drupal:

Unlike shopping cart-only systems, Drupal allows you to combine a fully functional community, business, or news website with your e-commerce. This adds powerful options for blogs, forums, social networking, custom displays of content, newsletters, and much more. These features can help your bottom line, as studies show the longer browsers stay on a site the more likely they are to purchase.

They also go on to talk about some other ways that Ubercart benefits from Drupal's power such as the Search Engine Optimization benefits, built-in taxonomy and user systems and the flexibility of other contributed modules such as CCK & Views, userpoints and fivestar ratings.

This community momentum is certainly one of the reasons why Lullabot chose to use Ubercart for the "Do It With Drupal" conference registration system. And we're definitely excited to have Ubercart's lead developer Ryan Szarma come down to New Orleans for DIWD to share more of his insights for how to best get up and running with Ubercart.

This is the last week for early bird discounts, and so register for the "Do It With Drupal" conference today!
