Just been cruising through all of the advice on how to create and set up an online and store and with so many choices out there, not sure which one to go with. Volusion, Joomla, 1&1 Commerce? And which service will allow me to customize HTML the most.Let me know what your thoughts are! Really looking for what set up people like most and which one is most user friendly. THANX
If you have some good experience with php, css and html you can go with Joomla/Virtuemart. If you are not very experienced, like in my case, so forget about Virtuemart because in my honest opinion their support is 2 Thumbs Down. I will stick with it but I'm not sure if I would chose VM again. The VM Forum has almost more unanswered/open threads than solved ones. But other than that Virtuemart offers a lot of really good features. And...It's for free...and so are some bugs they come with it. Just compare some of the shopping cart systems and what will meet your needs and experience the best, do some more researches on reviews and check out some forums. (I now wish I had done that before I decided for using VM) Regards verdecove
I can not tell you about Volusion or the other '1 & 1' , but I use Joomla and you can make custom HTML modules all day long if you feel like it. If you have big plans, use Joomla. If you have smaller plans or only want to blog, use Wordpress. Both Wordpress and Joomla are search-engine friendly. Of the two, Wordpress or Joomla, the admin section is more well laid out in Joomla. Good luck.
