Ecommerce Websites

There are hundreds, likely thousands of ecommerce systems to use to build your online store with.

Free systems like Prestashop, Magento, OpenCart, etc.
Third party, monthly fee systems like: Shopify, BigCommerce, Monster Commerce, Volusion, etc.
There are some that only charge if you make a sale (usually a percentage of the sale).
If your number of items for sale are small enough, you can even just use PayPal links for ecommerce.

WooCommerce is our choice. It’s an ecommerce plugin for WordPress, and it’s the best one of the many that have been developed for WordPress. The base code is free, and it's the most versatile - you can build your store to look and operate in any way you choose.

We have worked with and/or tested many of the free ecommerce platforms and many of the third party systems. We reached a conclusion that the best way to approach ecommerce is to follow the old adage: Keep it Simple Stupid – but keep it feature rich and maintain the ability to have full control of the code so that there are never limitations on what you might want your store to do.

WooCommerce with WordPress fits this mindset for most situations.
