We understand how difficult it may be to choose the right eCommerce platform for your website. We've been designing, building, and growing small businesses for over a decade, using a variety of platforms, including Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento.
Spoiler: They’re all great platforms, and that’s why we build websites using them
Customers' constraints, such as time or budget, can influence which platform is chosen, particularly if you're a new eCommerce business launching a new website. We go over the costs of eCommerce platforms in great detail, and we've put it all in a handy table for you below.
A new eCommerce store can be up and running in as little as eight weeks. We can build and design your site for you in that time. If your store has up to 4,000 items, Shopify is the best choice. Shopify's interface is so easy to use that you don't need a technical expert to use the product and order screens. Shopify is an excellent choice for both price and how quickly we can start up our business.
We particularly like WooCommerce for small businesses with fewer than 250 products, as well as for online ticketing and membership sites, among other things. When it comes to controlling and making changes to anything from the design to how it interacts with other things, WooCommerce is fantastic because it is so simple. Shopify is more expensive to start with, but the price of integrations are often one-time expenses, and there are no ongoing fees to worry about.
Magento checks all the boxes if you're searching for a highly configurable system that supports many shops with various currencies and tax standards. Don't be frightened off by its little more difficult interface than Shopify or WooCommerce - it's a true workhorse. Magento allows you customised design and creative interfaces with order management, courier, and accounting software systems. For stores with 5,000 or more items, this is a good option.
With us, you can easily migrate from Shopify to WooCommerce or Magento (or from WooCommerce to Shopify - or Magento!) We handle every part of your migration, including client orders, accounts, items, and categories. We take extra precautions to ensure that your search engine results are impacted during the migration process, which is common when switching eCommerce platforms.
Simply choose a time and date suitable for you, and we'll meet to discuss your options for the best platform for you. We promise that there will be no pushy salespeople.
