OpenCart Community

I have signed a contract today to rent out an office.

after this i will hire some developers to give full time support in the forums and via email. They will also be doing marketing.

These are the pics from the office window.

Wow really awesome view. In what city is it?

Are there going to be any changes in development OpenCart or support?

the city is hong kong.

support will be improved a lot.

So, when can I move to HK and help you out?

Way to go Daniel. Gotta work in style. Looking forward to the updated support in the near future.

I'm speechless Way to go, Daniel

Stunning views Very jealous!

Absolutely agree

Looks Great Daniel!, Good luck with the new team/staff members!

I always thought OpenCart was based in uk

It was until Daniel moved to Hong Kong

Improved support? How are you going to get any work done with such a fantastic panoramic view? Good on you Daniel, hope you can afford the lease though since it is in Hong Kong after all lol...

Congratulations! The views look amazing too!

actually the office is small. i need to see how things progress. its one of the major things that has been lacking in opencart.

That looks stunning

My sister in law is Chinese and her family live in Hong Kong, I really want to go and visit one day

Beautiful view. I miss Hong Kong.

Congrats on securing such a nice office Daniel.

My 2 cents might not amount to a hill of beans, but I'll give it anyway. I would separate your development team from your support/marketing team. Maybe hire 1 or 2 full/part time developers and 1 or 2 full/part time customer service reps/marketers. These fields of work are very different and require different skill sets. No offense to anyone that can do both jobs well (and if you can you should apply to work with Daniel!), but from the developers i've encountered, only a few have had good customer service/marketing skills while the majority should have just stuck with what they're good at (developing).

I think Daniel will be happy to see you if you do EVERYTHING at your own expense
Nice view. God, I am a little bit jealous, LOL

I need to boost the amount of money opencart is making before hiring more than 2 developers. i'm thinking of putting quite a bit of money into marketing which should benefit the extension sellers quite a bit. also going to add credit card option to the extension section instead of having just paypal. i think this will boost sales quite a lot.

trying to finish up 1.5.3 then i can start the credit card stuff myself

cool photos.

opencart is the best. fast, simple and MVC

prestashop and magento is top. ok, but i prefered opencart!!!!

good work. happy days.

Daniel OC 1.5.3 this month?

Congratulation Daniel !
I come across to visit HK before, indeed a very nice and busy city. The rental fees going to cost lots of $$$ from Daniel.
