We updated a clients online e-commerce store this morning from Miva 5 to Miva 5.5 and it was a snap.  Once we logged into the admin panel, we were prompted that there was a new update available, and it was like Christmas.  Important note: you do have the option of not updating…

While we haven’t fully kicked all of the new version’s tires yet, some really cool stuff we immediately noticed was a fresh new interface, much easier to use, much cleaner, etc.  The thing we are quite excited about is the Dreamweaver export: you can now edit store pages directly in dreamweaver, and the SEO features.  You now have complete control over each products meta tags, descriptions, etc.  as well as a sitemap creation tool and much more. There is a button in there to create short url’s for SEO, but to be honest, we need to read a bit more about that before we activate it.

We will of course keep you updated as we find new features / and / or bugs.
