Hello folks! i want to start business in my country like aliexpress or kaymu. where suppliers and customers are connected. i really want your suggestions about which CMS should i use to run this buying & selling platform for suppliers and consumers. Thanks in advance.
I'd probably pick a framework like cakephp or symfony and build something bespoke. The site isn't really about publishing content as much as it is about cataloging suppliers, products, variants etc and justifies having something written from scratch.
There are a few ways to go about this. The term you are looking for is "multi vendor" You can pull it off with a custom plugin or two such as https://yithemes.com/themes/plugins/yith-woocommerce-multi-vendor/ You can also use marketpress and run wordpress in network mode. If the latter you can have manufacturer.site.com or site.com/manufacturer. WP is certainly going to be the cheapest way to go about this as well. N.
That does not allow brands to sell or display their products. That is simply a shortcode to display a row of brand names so you can add them to layered navigation.
I live in Florida and I want to build a skyscraper similar to the Empire State Building. I don't know anything about building though. I assume I can get books and build it myself. Any advice? P.S. my budget is $40.
