Maintainability of a website on an ongoing basis is an important yet often neglected topic. Websites need continuous monitoring and updating, and more so your e-Commerce website will need more maintenance – updating products, services, changing prices, running special promotions etc. etc.
With multiple choices available out there, e-commerce platform selection comes down to really there key selection criteria:
Based on client’s specific needs and complexity such as number of pages, dynamicity, number of products, number of blogs, potential for scalability, multiple languages, etc. we suggest best options for our clients.
Again, selection of a platform (custom vs. open source) is very important as it has implications on future maintenance. For example, an online shop that may be better suited on WooCommerce can also be fired off using Magento or a custom platform. Deciding on a specific platform may not only add complexity and cost to the project upfront but may also drive up maintenance cost over-time.
