Online Sales system options
“I’ve come to view platforms a little bit like cars. A proprietary software is a bit like a Ferrari, while open-source CMS like WordPress, Joomla and Drupal are like Toyotas.
There aren’t many Ferraris and there are even less specialist mechanics for them, so you pay accordingly. On the other hand, plenty of people can service Toyotas.”
