As a consultancy, Step 7 Consulting does not discriminate regarding the technology choice for a project. What ever is best is the one we go with. We also don’t take any sort of commission/royalty/bonus/… from any company we partner with and we never will. It’s part of our commitment to always remain objective on behalf of our clients.
With the above in mind, we’re definitely fans of certain systems and in the e-commerce space we’re big fans of WooCommerce. Why?
- It’s a “killer” system with complete flexibility to design/dev as you wish.
- It’s a fully integrated plugin for WordPress which powers about every site (ok, slight exaggeration but WP does power more sites than any other and that’s a whole lot of Websites).
- It’s “owned” by the same folks who “own” WP (i.e. Automattic).
- It’s open-source (i.e. free) and powers more e-commerce sites in the world than any other (39% of all eCommerce sites are powered by WooCommerce) which is about 1.5 million active stores.
- It’s fast, secure, and modern technology that is consistently being enhanced by a global community of developers.
