eCommerce which one and why?

[RDB]

I am looking into eCommerce and I know there are a lot out there. I want something that is both easy for myself and the client. I was looking at Magento and Bigcommerce but they seem a little too expensive at the moment.

Magento can be completely free but it can be a bit difficult to get your head around a first and if one of the plug-ins breaks your install it's a right bugger to get it all back. If you're looking at wordpress, Woocommerce is pretty easy to work.

i used prestashop and was satisfied- optimized for search engines, friendly dashboard and large community.

Thanks. I may try OpenCart as it looks good on the front end and the back end of it looks quite easy to use too. Thanks for your help

For £20 per month I found EKM Powershop to be pretty good, very simple to use ekmPowershop - UK's Leading Ecommerce Website & Software Solution

Using their templates I made Thermex Heat Exchangers Online Store using it

WordPress Woocommerce everytime! Easy to navigate customer/admin and with a few server side modifications you can really open it up. So forget what people say about it being limited compared to Magento all over the internet. It's all about knowing how to use the tools at your disposal.

I hope this helps.

Hi RDB. I recommend you use opencart - i use it for my ecommerce projects and if you know php and html you will have no trouble editing it and using it for your ecommerce needs. Also good thuing is the base for it is free to use. Modiles cost but they are mostly pretty cheap to buy.

I like Opencart - I'd steer away from Magneto though if you've never used it before as most people find it quite confusing!
