Magento vs. Shopify – the ultimate guide
Magento Vs. Shopify. Enabling you to make more informed decisions during the consideration and comparison stage on your journey towards your new eCommerce solution.
The Magento eCommerce Platform
Magento is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms available today, with over 250,000 Magento businesses worldwide, representing 10% market share of the top one million eCommerce websites, including many global brand names.
Magento not only offers great shopping experiences for consumers, it also gives you the tools to analyse and measure your eCommerce performance for making smarter, more informed business decisions.
Magento Design
Our Magento design process begins with the discovery stage. This enables us to get under the skin of your brand and business, to really understand your eCommerce vision and business goals. The design begins to take form with wireframe prototypes, which enable you to experience the look and feel of your Magento website before development begins.
We design for mobile first, meaning that our Magento eCommerce websites will render perfectly on desktop, mobile and tablet.
Magento Development
Our Magento development services consist of the frontend team building highly engaging shopping experiences with intuitive user interfaces and navigational elements. While backend Magento developers take care of high performance hosting and deployment, as well as ensuring that all of our Magento websites can scale and respond to spikes in traffic flow.
We take care of ongoing development too by ensuring that support is in place and regular maintenance and updates are implemented.
Open Source vs. Commerce
Magento is offered in two editions: Magento Open Source and Magento Commerce. Both editions provide businesses with different types of eCommerce solution. Which one is right for a particular business will depend on a range of factors, such as business type and size, and on specific business needs and goals.
Magento Open Source
Magento Open Source (OS) is a hosted, open source architecture platform, enabling our developers to use its source code to create customised design and functionality. This is an ideal option for businesses that want to offer consumers unique shopping experiences or have bespoke branding or business needs.
Magento Commerce
Magento Commerce is a cloud solution that offers all the benefits of cloud eCommerce: elastic scalability, high resilience and availability, while still maintaining some customisation flexibility. Magento Commerce offers powerful native, out-of-the-box capabilities and functionality, for faster development time and quicker time to market.
Magento Extensions & Plugins
For additional, convenient functionality we use a wide variety of extensions and plugins. These are all approved for Magento, are
stable and secure, offering significant value for your business.
Magento extensions and plugins provide solutions in every area of eCommerce, from SEO to UX, checkout to back office, to
analytics and marketing. Also supporting third party APIs such as Amazon, eBay and Facebook, providing omnichannel shopping
experiences, potentially opening up additional routes to market.
