CMS for online store must meet the following criteria

  1. Convenient administration. The less time and effort you spend to study the administrator panel, the formation of the catalog and adding information about products and services the more it will remain to attract customers and sales, so it is worth choosing a CMS with simple and understandable admin.
  2. Free to use. There is no need to pay a lot of money for paid CMS at a time when there are free solutions that are not inferior to them in quality and capabilities.
  3. Free add-ons and templates. If you are just starting a business on the Internet, it is not always advisable to spend significant funds to pay web programmers and designers. Instead, it is convenient to have at hand a set of ready-made and, importantly, free modules, plug-ins and templates that will expand the functionality and improve the appearance of your site.
  4. Customer Protection. To secure online transactions to pay for goods or services, a website should have tools designed to protect users’ financial and personal data.
  5. SEO suitability. The speed of the site, the absence of technical problems, additional plug-ins and extensions designed for internal search engine optimization for search engines Google and Yandex. Without taking into account these features to find the site pages on the Internet among others will be difficult.
  6. CNC function. The platform must provide the ability to create understandable for human URLs, ie have a function CNC (human-understandable URLs), or SEF (Search Engine Friendly URLs). Addresses of this kind are equally well and correctly indexed by search engines and easily understandable to people.
  7. WEB-analytics and sales analysis. Make sure that the chosen CMS has a built-in system that allows you to monitor key metrics on site visits and sales. This is a useful feature, even though the main indicators should be analyzed using specialized services Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica.
  8. Integration with 1C or import and export data. The engine, with the help of additional modules, allows you to form and fill the catalog of goods from 1C, as well as import and export files in Excel and XML-, YML-formats.
  9. Payment modules. The platform supports dozens of payment modules that allow you to safely and quickly pay for purchases online, including bank cards and electronic money Yandex Money and WebMoney.
  10. Loyalty programs. On the basis of plug-in paid and free modules on OpenCart you can form partnership, promotional and discount programs.
  11. Multilingualism. Language localization packages, connected to OpenCart, open the possibility to create versions of the site with information presented in different languages.
  12. Multicurrency. Another add-on will allow you to configure automatic updating and display of prices for goods in different currencies after setting the exchange rate.

Does CMS OpenCart meet these requirements?

The answer is unambiguous – yes, it does. OpenCart, even in the basic configuration, combines the functionality necessary for the successful creation of an online store, its filling, promotion and interaction with visitors.

Creating a site on Modx https://quokkaproject.org/creating-a-site-on-modx/ Tue, 27 Jun 2023 09:23:00 +0000 https://quokkaproject.org/?p=65 We use CMF Modx to create fast, optimized and well configured websites with high security level because it is a professional tool for website development.

We use CMF Modx to create fast, optimized and well configured websites with high security level because it is a professional tool for website development. As a website theme we use HTML templates to make the code as clean as possible.

The goal of MODX is to give the developer the opportunity to create a site of any complexity, with almost any set of features, without the system in any way affecting your code. All thanks to the flexibility and open nature of the framework. In a word, you can have a website with desired functionality and design.

The motto of Modx is freedom of creativity.

Modx features

  • Security and SafetyMODX takes security quite seriously. The entire architecture of MODX Revolution was created with security in mind. The development team constantly audits MODX code to make sure it is up to date and fixes any issues that may arise.
  • Complete creative freedomThe MODX website management system allows you to create websites exactly as you envision them, with absolutely unlimited creative possibilities. We believe that website development tools should take into account the creative vision of users without imposing any special restrictions.
  • MODX’s unparalleled website optimization (SEO)MODX allows you to control your output almost effortlessly to 100%. Unlike other systems that require you to learn complex templating engines, in MODX you work directly with HTML and as many special site variables as you really need.

Is creating a site on MODX suitable for you?

If you have a fairly standard functionality of an online store, 80% of which can be covered by a ready-made solution, it is much faster and more reasonable to choose a CMS like Bitrix or Magento rather than MODX. Because such CMSs offer a lot of ready-made solutions that can cover the main tasks of the project.

But if you are looking for a more flexible system for the same money as a CMS, MODX is an ideal option in terms of value for money. In this system there are both ready-made functional parts and the possibility of customization for individual client’s request and thus get an individual solution – an online store, ready for scaling and implementation of non-standard features. Such a solution will cost much cheaper than development on Framework, and at the same time it will be more flexible than, for example, Magento and Opencart.

WordPress is a very versatile tool that you can use to create different kinds of websites. The possibilities are endless, but we’ve gathered the most common ways to use the CMS for a better understanding.

Blogs

WordPress started out as a blogging tool and remains the most popular platform for this purpose. You can start small at a minimal cost, such as a simple Hostinger beginner-friendly plan. Then, when your blog gets bigger, you can upgrade to a plan for more complex solutions.

Portfolio

Freelancers, artists, photographers, musicians, writers and other creative professions often use this CMS to create online portfolios. There are a number of portfolio themes on WordPress.org and beyond that include all the necessary features such as a gallery, lightboxes, and a portfolio grid.

Business card sites

If you have a small business, WordPress will also prove to be a good solution for creating a website. This content management system is very popular with small and medium-sized companies, and is increasingly being used by large corporations.

Charitable websites

Since the platform doesn’t require a large investment for maintenance and is fairly easy to learn, it’s no surprise that the platform has become popular among charitable organizations and churches. Thanks to WordPress, more and more non-profit organizations have an online presence these days.

Online stores

If you want to create an online store on your own, but don’t understand anything about web development, then you need this CMS. WooCommerce – the most popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress allows you to add key e-commerce features to your site such as: shopping cart order management system, payment pages, one-click refunds and more.
