    Have a project in mind?

    Let’s get in touch!
    l

    Choosing between the Magento and WordPress reminds of Montecchi and Capuleti binary. Both of them are good, but you need to stick to one side. In this digest, you’ll learn about Magento and WordPress differences and decide which one to pick for yourself.

    Imagine that you want to create a website for your business. There must be a bunch of questions hovering over your head. What would it look like? What will you write on it? Who will read it and how will the reader perceive it? Is it going to be cute and pinkish or solid and reserve? Let’s dig deeper and think what kind of functionality it should have. Do you want it easy to edit and customize would you like to delegate all “website-related-stuff” to the third party? All these questions are the first thing you’re going to hear talking to the website developer. Let’s make a small preparation before we do request a website. In this digest, we will talk about the two popular platforms used for website development. We’ll give you a hint on what platform to choose for developing a website. The first one is WordPress – a giant taking 50-60% in the CMS arena. Maybe, it would be more persuasive to tell you that such well-known companies as TED, USA Today, New York Observer and CNN use WordPress.

    Magento or WordPress — That is your choice what's betterOne step at a time: building an online shop

    The main features of the WordPress platform

    1. Mobile Friendly

    We all know that Google demands a mobile-friendly architecture of website and WordPress is extremely suitable in this case. It produces the themes that appear suitable for the mobile web browsers from the very beginning. So, the design of the website already looks great on any size of a mobile screen without any work on your part.

    2. WP is Easy To Customize

    The theme of your website is pretty flexible if it’s made with WordPress. You can easily change the separate features moving through the “Appearance” and choosing the “Customize” option. Talking about the additional functionality, it is easy to download the additional free and premium plugins that would extend your capabilities for any type of website management you wish.

    3. WordPress Support Community won’t leave you alone

    The tremendously large number of users and developers share their experiences on having different kinds of troubles. If you have any technical issue, there will be no difficulty finding the answers and hints on how to fix it. The purchase of the premium theme gives you more with its support team prepared to handle any malfunctioning in no time.

    4. SEO Effort Optimization Tool in WordPress

    Matt Cutts, Google SEO, himself said that the “WordPress automatically solves a ton of SEO issues” since it optimizes all SEO efforts. A considerable number of SEO plugins will make the content posting and editing extremely simple.

    5. WordPress is Viable And Contemporary

    The WordPress is a mature platform that owes its survival to the multifunctionality and ability to respond to a wide range of user’s needs. To put it simply, it includes enough plugins and offers a flexible website architecture that can be used for any possible purpose of the client. It’s also important to mention that overall existence, WordPress has patched the common security issues on a high level.

    Magento’s fame runs before it and there really are good reasons for it. How Magento works?

    Magento is an American e-commerce platform that also has a bulk of CMS functions. If you’re still wondering what to choose: Magento or WordPress for e-commerce, here’s an insight on how Magento works.

    1. Magento is a Platform That Was Priorly Designed For E-Commerce

    All specialized features are crafted for e-commerce needs. Unlike the WordPress, Magento includes the tools and plugins for advanced online retail. About 250,000 businesses worldwide are currently using the Magento e-commerce platform. The open-source platform is capable of supporting the businesses of all sizes beginning from the small retailers and ending with the multinational corporations.

    2. E-commerce Oriented Customization with Magento

    Merchants find Magento so useful because there they can find the valuable extensions for retail. Creating an online store is easier when you are free to pick the plugins that would fit on the website of your particular vision. It also includes such important features as multi-store management, business reports, mobile commerce, SEO, and tools for catalog management. It’s also suitable for creating the menus, version control, and complex content pages. Must have Magento plugins? It mustn’t but a bunch of them would open up new opportunities for your e-commerce platform.

    Which is better: Magento or WordPress?

    1. Decide what is the main function of your website

    Let’s imagine that you want your website to be a place where you would sell the products online – most likely, you’ll fancy Magento web development. It’s easy to sell the digital and physical production in your own multi-vendor online market. Magento’s better for you when you’ll be selling the physical goods that require complex shipping as it integrates various shipping and payment options. If you are more into sharing information, posting, and publishing, you need WordPress development. WordPress is perfect for those who want to sell a limited number of products in a simple manner. WordPress is more about Content Marketing and information sharing rather than the big-scale e-commerce.

    2. Discuss Your Decision with the Developers

    The development process in Magento and WordPress differs a lot and you’ll probably need a piece of advice from proficient developers. Mind that Inoxoft has an experience in creating the websites on both platforms and is eager to share their vision with you.

    Long Story Short

    So, which is better Magento or WordPress? If you’ve imagined a website that sells a great number of items from the multinational vendors, Magento might be what you’re looking for. WordPress will be more suitable for those, who imagined a website that would serve as a platform for data and content dissemination.
