Unlike running retail shops which can yield walk-in customers, online shops do not have that luxury. No matter how well the website the eshop web development is or how good the products are, customers will not know that without visiting the website.

As a top e-commerce development company, Lolli Media in many cases do recommend clients to use WooCommerce for their eCommerce websites because it is widely used with many available plugins. However this solution is meant for small to medium sized businesses with a small range of products.

Being known as a reliable eCommerce design company, Lolli Media would recommend using Opencart for the chosen eCommerce platform because it includes most standard eCommerce features, is quick to load and has a very easy to use backend system. For online shop development, Lolli would consider this to be a perfect solution for most medium scaled eCommerce projects as it covers a wide range of payment solutions and supports lots of customizations.

As usual, Lolli Media is able to customize the design of the eCommerce website freely. The downside for this eshop web development solution is that it is not optimal for highly complex eCommerce functions such as multi-shop or product customization functions.

Being an experienced eCommerce development company Lolli Media gets asked this question a lot. In short, Lolli Media typically does not recommend using Magento for most clients. The reason is because Magento is such a powerful system with so much to offer that the client typically is unable to fully utilize all the features, making it an overkill for the eCommerce website project. For Lolli Media a top e-commerce design company, Magento is usually recommended for very large scale eCommerce websites with a very large range of products, very complex or highly customized functions. 

Most eCommerce development companies do not use Magento because the backend CMS is less user friendly and can be overwhelming for non-technical users. The fee for design & development is also much higher with a longer development time. Magento also requires a much more powerful and high cost web server to run, which is why Lolli Media avoid recommending Magento as the eCommerce website solution unless it is absolutely necessary.

Typically, online shop development by Lolli Media will include the following:

Product Management System, Shopping Cart & Payment Gateway Function, Order Management System, Customer Management System, Promotion Management System, Shipping Modules, Reports & Analytics.
