Especially those starting out.
One pro of Magento is that it has been trendy for a while and this has led to more agencies specializing (going back to the topic of the importance of knowledge of the tool),
Cons : They often ask for prices for its construction that are much higher than other solutions.
In my opinion, avoid it unless you have specific needs and before seriously selling,
2) Prestashop and Woocommerce
From the point of view of the choice of the entrepreneur I put them on pretty much the same level.
Evaluate between the two which one the supplier knows best and for which he
HAS more published customer sites ONLINE.
3) Shopify : a CMS for your easy and fast e-commerce
Recommended (highly) especially Dentist Database if you are just starting out and don’t have 10/15/20,000 euros to spend on creating the site.
Shopify allows you to create your site faster (because it has a more “ready” engine than the CMS mentioned above) and above all, being certainly more protected in terms of customization possibilities, it protects you more from a possible incompetence of the agency/programmer you turn to.
4) Avoid proprietary CMS for your e-commerce (
I introduced you first to what CMS are : basically “software engines” for prefabricated websites to customize (I’m simplifying a lot for simplicity of explanation).
The ones I presented to you are all Open Source , that is, with the main engines substantially free since they are developed by online communities (I’m simplifying here too).
Well.
What is the advantage of an Open Source CMS?
For example, if you do your e-commerce with one of the above-mentioned CMS and then you don’t like the agency/freelancer that created it for you at the beginning, since they are Open Source CMS and therefore widespread throughout the world, you at least have the possibility on paper of finding another supplier who knows that CMS, to whom you can turn to so as not to have to do everything again from scratch.
Then there are the Proprietary CMS .
They are the same type of Tool but Track relevant conversions NOT open source , therefore not available to everyone because they were created and developed .
