RE: WooCommerce vs Magento ? - Premium Web Development Part 01 - rev. 2 @chainbb
Great read. We have been running Magento Community for 4 years now (after switching from Wordpress -> BigCommerce) and it has its own gigantic set of problems as well.
I would be interested to see a Shopify vs Magento follow-up article to hear your pro's/cons. If I could go back in time, I'd probably go with Shopify. But I'm wayyy too far down the rabbit hole now lol.
@bojanson thanks for reading and this great comment, if nothing, at least you gave sense to my experience and this all community which should have by default.
Regarding WordPress, unfortunately, Asia is so undeveloped and especially SE Asia - Thailand... For client even WordPress is to hard to use and they need months to learn to manage. Magento - Disaster regarding ease of use towards client. Although i have very good client that i will present in Part 02 for Magento. There are issues with Magento, especially if we are talking about 2.x version, but since i've been writing custom extensions in Magento and modules for past few years, i've been really deep down the rabbit hole. Magento is great experience for wholesale, commercial chains, a lot of articles/products/shops/languages... You have to be first HOSTING/Linux GURU to get Magento showing it's full power (security, speed, optimizations) then PHP/Web Master.
So even for developers, yeah Shopify comes as click&deploy safe solution. But how Shopify will behave when has inside his 1.7GB database/file over 20000 orders on annual basis and over 3000 articles in 50 different categories, with conditional logic on package weight, type, frost or not, where it's being delivered, checkpoints along the way, etc... Magento is on that side of discussion Sex Domination Master :)
Thanks for keeping up, hope you will read Part 02 Magento next week.
