I like the looks of Magento, but there is not much actually written in a manual to make me think it is as slick to work with as it appears. There are not many templates to choose from either. And os-commerce seems very technical to me, and that's why I am asking if there is one that is honestly easier to work with without sacrificing anything I should consider important to making it work as it should??? |
There really is no such thing as “one size fits all” when it comes to eCommerce platforms (shopping cart systems).
As I mentioned above, to build an eCommerce site successfully, you must start with a defined Business Plan that addresses all the variables every business must contend with, and also resolve any that your particular venture requires as well. Without knowing all the particulars that such a Business Plan will help to identify and detail, it would be impossible to choose an appropriate eCommerce platform that will perform as you desire and within the parameters that will be required of you (business banking, shipping, credit card processing/gateways, accounting, inventory allowances, item details, etc.).
I
can however, list a few of the various
Pro’s and Con’s for a few of the eCommerce solutions that VodaHost fully supports, the majority of which VodaHost makes available to every client Free and enabled within the
Fantastico! option for easy installation and rapid setup. This should prove helpful to refine your selection process, keeping in mind the overall aspect to first be aware of all outside requirements and influences that predicate your actual decision.
