Best answer

It really depends on what your business entails, which will dictate the type of website you should build. The other aspect is budget and what a sensible investment is, based on your current revenue and profitability.

Strictly for ecommerce, the most rock solid platform is Shopify. WooCommerce does well and is cheaper than Shopify, but it just doesn't run as smoothly as Shopify does. WooCommerce can, however, nicely integrate with a WP blog.

This is a lead capture technique that allows a business person to use his contact information without having to spend too much time trying to sell his products and services. Finally, the most popular and effective way to get leads online is by using the power of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, These are sites where people of all age groups, gender and nationality meet and form long term relationships. This is also a good lead generator because a person can introduce his business to the world at a very friendly manner. People tend to like meeting new people and forming relationships with them. This is also a great way to check up on the activity of a person and to know if he really has something worth doing in his life.

Ah, yes, the power of MySpace...lol. You must be new to the internet.

So, in response to the original question "Is Wordpress good for ecommerce?" your answer is what??

WordPress scores over standard eCommerce solutions because of its inherent advantages as a quality blogging tool. This means it offers the features you require to make your online store rank higher in search results. WordPress is SEO friendly in nature which helps store owners to attract large volumes of traffic.

[bracknelson]

Yes, WordPress is best for e-commerce websites & also for all other websites. It has plugins to make your site eCommerce-friendly. Bluehost is the best choice for your eCommerce store.

IMO, This is a difficult question. Because everything from Joomla, Shopify, Magento, Wix, and Weebly to any other platforms has wonderful tools for certain skill levels, but we need to explore why we should use one of them above others.

As an example, I prefer WordPress above all of the others.
Why? WordPress was suggested to me by the entities that exist under my consciousness.

• The plan is free and open-source.
• It's simple to pick up and has a sizable community.
• It is compatible with a wide variety of media types.
• Themes and plugins allow you to extend your website.
• You retain complete control of your website.
• Without a doubt, blogging is the finest in the industry.
• Everybody does it.
• First and foremost, search engine optimization (SEO) is essential.
• Finally, It also adjusts so that you may create whatever website you want.

I am hoping that you will be able to make a decision based on checking first and foremost.

I'm going to emphasize the benefit of retaining "complete control of your website" with WooCommerce.

On 12/14/2020 Google experienced a global outage, which was subsequently linked to an "accidental" reduction of capacity in their central user ID management system. In simple terms, someone at Google decreased the capacity in the resources settings and suddenly accounts with OAuth-based authentication could no longer be verified, accessed or even communicated with (if you sent an email to a Gmail account during this time, you may have gotten an error, stating that this account does not exist).

Not surprisingly, this global outage affected Google Cloud. And guess who partners with Google Cloud? Shopify! During this outage, if your website was hosted through Shopify, you were down. Once Google diagnosed and restored the capacity, you then had to reboot your system and (in some cases) re-calibrate your server settings, before your website would work properly. You then had to triage and develop a response to your clients or customers who were affected by the outage.

Therefore, as much as I recognize Shopify's superiority in ecommerce systems and capabilities, who is really in control of Shopify websites? It's certainly not the website owner. To me, Shopify is analogous to Apple. Despite having cutting-edge, rock solid systems, its users are always at the mercy of its equivalent of iTunes, iCloud and so forth.

Hello. Hope you are doing well!

I would like to suggest you to use WordPress for your business-related work. I’m saying this from my own personal experience and I believe it would really help you out.

Apart from that, I would like to say that WordPress is the most easiest and efficient way to build your eCommerce website or any related website. As it provides thousands of plugins, themes, editors, and other essentials (both paid or free) which makes it suitable for any of your requirements. You can do most of your work with the free services provided unless the premium ones are much needed.

Also, last but not the least I would like to say you that every business sites have a Blog section in it. So I can confidently say that WordPress blog optimization is the best of all.

I believe that this may serve as an inspiration for those of us contemplating a doubt to a pre-WordPress era. Hopefully, if we have several examples of eCommerce sites built using WordPress, they will encourage us to pass judgment on WP quickly. https://torquemag.io/2017/02/wordpress-ecommerce-examples/

In my opinion wordpress is one of the best options for creating a website. Anyone can figure it out on their own. There are nuances with plugins, but it's all too easy.

 

[Marshbz]

WordPress is particularly useful when building an eCommerce website because there are plenty of themes suited to an online storefront. It also features plugins that add complete eCommerce functionality to a site, from product display to shopping cart and checkout.

 

[socialaccounts]

I think you should go with WordPress as it's easier to understand and you don't need to hire any developer. You can install a theme and also woo commerce plugin which help you to manage orders and products. Cheers

I agree with you but if you want to run woocommerce plugin on WP site, you may need a strong VPS or dedicated server.

 

[bracknelson]

While WordPress does have plugins to make your site eCommerce-friendly, You can create dozens of different types of sites with WordPress. Since WordPress isn't e-commerce-focused, you may miss out on some crucial features you need for your e-commerce store.
There are also plenty of premade themes suited to an online storefront. It also features plugins that add complete eCommerce functionality to a site, from product display to shopping cart and checkout.

Hello.

Overall, WordPress is a fantastic eCommerce tool. It's especially beneficial for smaller businesses or brands who can't afford to participate in more pricey initiatives. I prefer to recommend WordPress, particularly for eCommerce, for a handful of reasons.

1. The cost is zero!
WordPress is ideal for companies of all sizes because it is a completely free service. Digital services sometimes have "tiered" fees or paywalls, however, this is one of the unique ones. This makes it incredibly simple to set up a blog, register a domain, and start posting as soon as possible! Furthermore, there are no restrictions on the elements of the platform that you may use for free; you are free to participate in conversations with others, follow/discover other websites, and write as much as you like.

2. Customization is simple.
As goods come in and out of stock, you'll undoubtedly want to update your eCommerce site frequently. This program's numerous walkthroughs, free lessons, and straightforward design make it simple for even the most novice businesses to succeed. Even if you don't have access to a tutorial, WordPress makes going from site name to design fonts to domain name a breeze. It also guarantees that your site looks fantastic on mobile devices.

Choosing the best eCommerce website design company is a difficult task. Try to find experienced, certified companies with big portfolios.

I hope, you will find it useful!

Because there are so many preset themes suitable for online retail, WordPress is very beneficial for developing an eCommerce website. It also includes plugins that give a site full eCommerce capability, from product display through shopping cart and checkout.
