I’ve always wanted to get into the whole, “build a site with an e-commerce solution” thing… At first I started with a wordpress plugin called “WordPress e-Commerce” This is a great plugin for small business who are just looking to put up a couple of products for sale. I have not used this plugin to its fullest potential yet, but, I do not think it will be practical for a much large scale inventory. Thats where Magento comes in. I just started to read up on Magento and even began work on a prototype shopping cart. So far its very simple to put together but has a strict learning curve.
I’ll write more about magento later in the coming weeks… once I have something to show for it.
