Freeway is the most advanced Open Source eCommerce platform and Freeway offers selling methods only previously available in enterprise class or niche bespoke systems. Without having to purchase a commercial system and then paying a developer to build a custom installation, Freeway does what you need out of the box. Of course Freeway is great for selling products but it also sells  events AND services AND subscriptions. From appointments and time based bookings to event ticketing and subscriptions Freeway is the eCommerce platform for how we want to sell.

Freeway is by far the largest and most fully featured Open Source eCommerce platform. It doesn't just sell products but extends to sell in some very fancy new ways and is very configurable. For example, you can just sell products if you are not interested in the other selling methods.

You will find Freeway has very strong CRM features as well as a useful and simple CMS as well.

Testimonial Quote

"Just Tickets had previously had a disastrous attempt by a 'local' company to produce our website and as a result we were looking for a new web developer. By chance a friend of ours who had experienced a major problem with a mutual (un-named) ISP provider, mentioned that LightQuick provide good service and could do a good website for us. Having known Dean Beedell the MD from his theatre years at the Kenton Theatre we knew he would come up trumps. Following a very early meeting with him, our perceived requirements of the new site materialised before our very eyes and despite the intricacy of our requirements both in quantity of images, order forms and general layout Dean came up trumps and we now have an all-singing, all-dancing website which will serve our existing and potential new customers well. The bonus being that with using CMS we are in total control of all our website details and can change text and images at will without the on-going cost usually associated with web development. Having LightQuick on-board has been a welcome breath of fresh air to us and would not hesitate in recommending LightQuick to other potential customers." Jim Birney, Director of Just Tickets
