<\/a><\/p>\nMagento allows a business to scale up quickly if you already have the groundworks in place and know your business will be a success. However the development costs are high and can take some time. We would not recommend Magento on a small budget.<\/p>\n
Pros:<\/h3>\n\n- Premier Store Management –<\/strong> Magento is a feature rich online store solution, allowing users to manage multiple store front as well as simple multi-language and currency support.<\/li>\n
- Intuitive back-end –<\/strong> Navigation for store management features. Meaning that site owners have flexibility with their store.<\/li>\n
- Plugins Galore –<\/strong> Magento is a very successful ecommerce CMS and with over 240,000 merchants comes a lot of extensions and plugins. This makes Magento a very versatile theme.<\/li>\n
- Highly Customisable Design –<\/strong> Magento’s template allows a lot of customisable features meaning your store is limited only by the skill of your developers and designers.<\/li>\n
- Scalable –<\/strong> Magento is just as competent for enterprises as it is for startups, meaning your website can grow with you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cons:<\/h3>\n\n- Lack of Developers –<\/strong> As a web developer Magento can be a challenging prospect – If your looking to really make the most of Magento you’re going to need an experienced Magento developer which can be expensive.<\/li>\n
- Hosting –<\/strong> Unless hosted on a dedicated server Magento can create a slow and frustrating experience for users.<\/li>\n
- Time –<\/strong> Magento has a lot more options and flexibility than most other CMS systems however this means that development can be relatively complex. Expect Magento websites to take more time than other CMS solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]\n
