FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – May 04, 2008 – San Diego, CA — Top bloggers have long heralded WordPress as the superior blog platform for its ease of management and for the vast selection of open source social and SEO plugins designed for integration.

Now, a growing number of website developers and Internet marketers are leveraging WordPress as a platform for ecommerce websites – and for a whole new set of reasons.

According to online entrepreneur and Internet marketer Tim McGuiness, the WordPress platform offers search engine optimization components that are not present in traditional website platforms. By effectively utilizing these powerful components, e-commerce websites built upon the WordPress platform achieve high visibility in search engines in a very short span of time.

“I set up an entire WordPress based website in less than 5 hours and made a $115.96 sale from a Google search within 24 hours of launch. In 5 days, the site was already ranking on page one, two, and three in Google’s natural results for several of my primary keywords,” said Tim McGuiness, Internet entrepreneur and founder of Orovo Weight Loss.com (http://www.orovoweightloss.com).

McGuiness used a WordPress e-commerce theme developed by website designer Cory Miller to transform the look of WordPress from a traditional blog into an e-commerce style website.

Miller says that he created ecommercethemes.com for WordPress after realizing the benefits of using the platform in his own online ventures. “With just a few tweaks, WordPress, an open source content management system, can be a powerful way to both maintain your website while optimizing your site for search engine marketing,” Miller explained.

McGuiness says that his total costs for the theme, hosting, and payment gateway cost less than $75. Within a few days, McGuiness recouped his initial investment through product orders on the website from shoppers searching online to buy Orovo.

“When creating the Orovo Weight Loss website, my goal was to find a platform that was search engine friendly, inexpensive, and easy to implement. WordPress exceeded my expectations in all areas,” said McGuiness.

About Orovo Weight Loss.com: Orovo Weight Loss (http://www.orovoweightloss.com) is a WordPress powered e-commerce website offering the popular Orovo and Orovo detox products made with Super Foods featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The company offers same day order fulfillment and shipping to the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Making it easy for your customer to buy from you is a mantra most online retailers know well. Just as important for many small business owners is finding an e-commerce solution that is easy for you to set up and to run that e-commerce storefront.

Reminder: Many of the top web hosting companies offer e-commerce tools and storefronts, so before you switch it is worth taking a look at your existing host’s capabilities.

More than any other category that I’ve worked on so far, there were so many e-commerce or shopping cart companies offering solutions it was tough to organize. I tried to triangulate on the best known or popular (by comments I’ve read or ratings) services and list the top three in a category. Also, I’ve left a fair number off this list mostly because they either didn’t look to be keeping up with the marketplace or they didn’t make pricing easy to find. But if you have a favorite that you want to tell us about, please share the company and website with everyone in the comments.

Let me start with the easiest and best known mechanisms to enable e-commerce by many small businesses: Paypal, Google Checkout, and Amazon Checkout all let you add Buy Now buttons to your site and enable a purchase of both physical and digital goods. There are people building their own electronic stores using these one of these tools and the main reason is they are well known trusted brands. A person with a Paypal account (or Google or Amazon) does not have to share his or her info with you directly, but just log on to their own accounts and send you a payment.

Open Source

Free appeals to just about all of us and open source e-commerce solutions can give you just that. But it comes at a price, you need to hire someone or be more technical yourself. Most open source solutions also have premium versions that include support and service.

Magento is one of the market leading open source e-commerce solutions and has won many awards. The community edition is free (which means there is no support) and the professional level starts at $2,995 per year.

osCommerce has built an impressive customer base of 230,000+ online storefronts. They have a strong community and Live Shops directory where you can see what others have built.

Prestashop is a rapidly growing open source solution with an active user community. They have a good site with good demos and feature explanations. They have a bug tracking tool that shows they are responsive to customer input.

Zen Cart promises a very easy user-friendly install. Often open source is viewed as more difficult for the end user, but not according to Zen as they explain anyone with basic website building skills can do it.

Open Cart as the name implies offers an open solution. It sounded like one of the easiest to install, out of the box. But, there is no box. They offered some great features like search engine optimization (SEO), auto image resizing, unlimited products and more.

Spree Commerce is an open source flexible commerce platform built on the Ruby on Rails programming language. Completely free to use.

SimpleCart(js) is an elegant open source solution. If you can write basic HTML, they promise this lightweight (in terms of program size of only 20k) app is for you.

Blogging Platform (CMS) Storefronts

Since many small businesses run their sites on popular open source CMS’s (content management systems), I’ve included the top three: WordPress, Drupal and Joomla and all offer free plugins or add-ons to create online catalogs and storefronts.

Ubercart and Lite Commerce for Drupal

VirtueMart for Joomla

These next five e-commerce options just for WordPress, one of the most popular and user-friendly blog platforms. As an aside with no affiliate link, I heartily recommend Thesis for WordPress for a robust theme and blog design management tool.

Get Shopped is probably the market leader for a bolt-on storefront. Here are a few more:
Shopper Press
Fat Free Cart for WordPress
E-commerce by Instinct
Shopp plug-in comes highly recommended.
Premium Hosted and Standalone E-commerce and Shopping Cart providers

BigCommerce is one of the top hosted e-commerce and shopping cart players. They were one of the first to offer social commerce tools (selling via Facebook, for example) and have a well laid out site. 15 day free trial, then starts at $24.95/month.

Volusion is also one of the top hosted e-commerce players on the market today with over 100,000 customers. Their plans start at $24.99 per month with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. They have a really cool VZoom feature that lets a user zoom in and around your product image.

Infusionsoft is regarded as an email marketing 2.0 leader, but they also offer a robust shopping cart and e-commerce solution bundled into their software-as-a-service. Of course, you can integrate all that customer data, your email marketing, and your customer’s purchases into one dashboard, too, so it is pretty powerful. It is best for small businesses that have a solid revenue stream to afford the $299/month.

Shopify has been in our small business contest listing for a long time with their $100,000 prize offering (ending June 2010). They have a 30-day free trial, then starting packages at $24/month. They do a nice job of showcasing how they are an easy-to-use e-commerce provider.

3d Cart offers a free trial with no credit card required. They also have 80 payment gateways supported (Paypal, Amazon, etc) which makes it pretty easy to make a switch if you’re using someone else. Plans start at $19.99/month and go up in smaller increments than others.

NetSuite is a powerful system that includes e-commerce, but is much more of a complete business suite of software from ERP to CRM to Inventory control to a Financial System. One of the more robust options listed here. No pricing available.

FoxyCart is built by web designers for web designers, according to their website. While you must be more techy, they appear to be feature rich and robust. The service is free while you are in development, then $19/month.

ShopVisible stands out because of their many integrations to companies like eBay, Craigslist, Overstock and many others. No pricing available.

Hey Smart Guy is a pretty sharp company with ecommerce, CRM, and content management system starting at only $39/month.

CS Cart is a standalone shopping cart solution that sells for $285 for a site license. They offer a 60-day free trial, however. From dozens of included templates (or design skins) to one-page checkout, this software offers many features.

Fortune 3 is a hosted e-commerce solution with a 30-day free trial and plans starting at $29.95/month. Like others, they are SEO-friendly and offer many designs/templates for the new user.

Avactis is a fully hosted e-commerce player with a unique difference: They allow developers to white label their solution as their own. This means you can sell your own e-commerce offering, if you choose. They offer the standard feature-rich list of shopping cart functionality starting at $19.95/month. They also have an open source free version.

X Cart is a standalone application built in PHP. They offer a more traditional pricing structure which starts at $115 as a one-time fee, but you can add support “points” and other options to make it fit your needs (at a higher cost). 30-day money back guarantee.

Instant e-Store offers a fixed price of $49.97 per month with discounts for longer subscription. One of the features that stood out for me was they offered a loyalty points program so your customers could redeem earned points (by way of purchases) for other merchandise.

Cube Cart differs from many other carts in that they are hosted, not open source, but offer a free unlimited trial. The paid license comes with a bunch more features, but you could run a store on the free version for quite a while.

CRE Loaded is more than your average shopping cart because it is fully compliant with all Payment Card Industry (PCI) security rules. It starts as low as $10/month with a free trial.

Zeus Cart is an open source e-commerce solution, however, you can’t download it without entering your email and contact information. It looks incredibly rich in features and easy to use. It may be that you need to use their other services like SEO to get it for free.

Interspire offers a separate shopping cart for purchase for those who want to own their software. BigCommerce is their Hosted solution.

SunShop is a turnkey, search engine friendly shopping cart. A basic site license starts at $249 and climbs to $549 for what they call “owned” which gets you lifetime upgrades. They had a cool iPhone app that lets you view reports and orders.

SquirrelCart starts at $129 for the Acorn version (light) and goes up to $289 for the Pro version. You can then customize a theme for an affordable $105 or buy various add-ons, if you need them.

ShopFactory looks and feels like it is as simple to set up as a blog. It is a hosted solution at $19.95/month or you can also purchase outright for $499.

ViArt Shop offers a free trial and hosted solution at $49/month, but you can also purchase a light version for $149. They had a fair number of customers highlighted on their site and I found myself wandering around from store to store checking out the many features.

Pinnacle Cart is a combination of a shopping cart and website builder application. The home page talks about it being “built from a marketing perspective” which appeals to me because the biggest challenge for most sites and stores is traffic. So it looks ideal for web-based businesses. Starts at $25/month with a free trial.

Wix is a flash-based free website builder that has an upgrade e-commerce option. They promise that no tech skills are necessary. Starts at $4.95/month for just the website portion, but with e-commerce it is $19.90/month.

OXID looks very much like a corporate, professional e-commerce solution. The site appears to be aimed at the Fortune 500, but then you see that it offers a community open source version! It starts at over $4,000 for the professional version.

Live Cart is one of the other e-commerce solutions that offered a private label option (see above) that starts at $149, but they also offer a community level for free. I like that their testimonials were tied to real people with real sites.

DPD stands for Digital Product Delivery and if you sell downloads of any type, this service is worth looking at. Flat pricing starts at only $5.

Just for Artists: Big Cartel offers a great and simple and fast option for the artist community. Smart niche approach. What’s amazing is they have a completely free option (small store, but free) and then plans start at only $9.99/month.

Just for Photographers or Designers:

PhotoStore is the market leader for photographers wanting their own photo store or if you are looking to build a stock photo service. They have a feature rich software solution for $249 for a site license.

CMS Account offers a PHP-based Photo Store Script that you can load onto your webserver/host and run your own media files store. Starts at $99.

WordPress shopping cart integration

Released: 01 June 2005 | Author: Molly E. Holzschlag on behalf of The Web Standards Project

In an effort to refocus energy on advocating for standards from a perspective of universal access and vendor neutrality, WaSP is handing over the reigns of the BrowseHappy [1] campaign to the good folks at WordPress [2].
The move comes after WaSP members examined past and present activities and decided that while the BrowseHappy campaign serves an important role its lack of neutrality has actually put WaSP in a compromising position by seemingly showing favoritism toward specific browsers.

“WaSP reviewed its charter and the original vision of The Web Standards Project, and we’ve decided that at this time, in order to best serve the Web design and development community at large, refocusing our work in this fashion is key” said WaSP Steering Committee member Molly E. Holzschlag.

While the URL for the site will remain the same, WordPress is now the official host and sponsor of the project, and WaSP as a group will have no influence over the future of BrowseHappy.

Matt Mullenweg, one of the lead developers of WordPress, says “WordPress has always been focused on web standards and providing the very best experience for our users, and a good browser is a necessary baseline. We’re more than happy to take BrowseHappy under our wing and keep this valuable community resource up-to-date and relevant to as many people as possible.”

Founded in 1998, The Web Standards Project (WaSP) fights for standards that reduce the cost and complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of any site published on the Web. We work with browser companies, authoring tool makers, and our peers to deliver the true power of standards to this medium.
