Edwardson.com E-commerce
Modern Websites can be built from scratch by one or more developers, or using a commonly available software package as a base – These can be paid for, or Open Source (Maintained voluntarily by community members).
- When selling directly to customers on your own website, you have better control over the expenses and can make more profits on your sales. You do have to pay for hosting the website on its own server, but this can still be much less over a year’s sales than the equivalent Amazon or eBay costs.
- A custom website, or one adapted from a common package, can be tailored to your specific needs and process, reducing the amount of work your staff needs to do to fulfill the order after payment.
- A website developed from scratch can be more expensive overall, but may be a better option for some businesses.
- Websites developed from Open Source frameworks (such as Magento) can reduce the overall cost, with a large portion of the basic programming and testing already in place.

Enterprise: Magento
Magento takes E-commerce to the enterprise level of performance and features.
Magento is exclusively built for ecommerce.
While WordPress is a content management platform that offers an e-commerce plugin, Magento is a platform built exclusively for e-commerce. It has the best features for high volume online selling, customer management, payment integrations, inventory integration and management, and loyalty program management.
Many major world brands are using Magento for their business, including Coca Cola, Ford, Louboutin, Nike, and Nestle. Recent study shows that Magento takes about 29.1% of the total market share and dominates other platforms like WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and Shopify.
