Why Wordpress when you can have Prestashop???!
I'm just wondering, after reading a lot of threads in here about building ecommerce sites...
Why do people go for "Wordpress for ecommerce" when they can go for Prestashop???!!
I just don't get it. Prestashop is FREE as well. And offers you EVERYTHING you need to start a professional ecommerce website.
I have worked for a startup web design company in the past, building websites for costumers, a number of which were ecommerce websites. My mind blew up when I found out this startup was also using Wordpress to build ecommerce websites (and charging $XX,XXX for it)!
I mean yea, I know wordpress is the most widespread free CMS that even dumb Joe can work with, but this is not a platform you want to use for your serious and robust ecommerce business.
If you can't go for the high-end ecommerce platforms (magento, shopify, oscommerce, etc...), and you don't have to if you're still small, then Prestashop is just fine. And they have a much better online forum to get help from their community, than wordpress has.
I came across Prestashop in 2010, and ever since I kind of fell in love with it. So please, do yourself a favor, if you know nothing about Prestashop, download it, install it, play with it for some time until you grasp all the power it has to offer. Only then can you decide if you still prefer Wordpress
