What are the best E-Commerce platforms to work with? What are the factors to consider when developing a new E-Commerce website?
An interesting article was written by my colleague, Best E-commerce Platforms for Small Businesses.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
I generally advise the use of either Shopify or Woo-commerce to clients depending on their needs…
If the client is looking solely for an online store where the sole purpose is to sell products then I advise they use Shopify.
However, if the client already has a website and are looking to sell products as an 'add-on' feature of the website or a client is looking for a new website with perhaps a blog or separate webpages to discuss their brand/team/vision/ethos; then I advise to them that Woo-commerce is the best option.
Both services are great at what they do but I enjoy the potential functionality you can add to a Wordpress site that utilises the Woo-commerce plugin.
My two cents anyway.
For anyone looking to set up an e-commerce website, the platform choice really depends on your needs. Shopify is great for ease of use, WooCommerce works well if you prefer WordPress, and Magento is solid for larger businesses.
