Hi guys maybe this it’s not the right forum/ community or subject to speak about other web design platforms but would like to know if somebody familiar with the Magento platform and opinions on it versus RW for e-commerce. I’m faithful with RW nevertheless looking at other alternatives for my e-commerce web designs 😐 Cheers ---

While I really like RapidCart Pro [https://4gnd.com/rapidcartpro/](https://4gnd.com/rapidcartpro/) I am also a big fan of ecwid: [https://www.ecwid.com](https://www.ecwid.com) I’m using it with my own online store and am really loving it: [http://www.shuffleskins.de](http://www.shuffleskins.de) Here’s a site I built for a client using ecwid: [http://www.weingut-merg-frick.de/unsere-weine/](http://www.weingut-merg-frick.de/unsere-weine/) The integration in RapidWeaver is done via a small code-snippet and is really a snap. Another great choice would of course be Cartloom 4 ( [https://www.cartloom.com/cl4promo/](https://www.cartloom.com/cl4promo/) ), but I have no experience with it. ---

Well, if you want an easy to design and manage site, go with RW as magento can be really tricky. If you need a good ecommerce site with a lot of options (and maybe no other purpose than selling products), I would recommend to have a look at prestashop or WordPress/WooCommerce. For me those products are easier to develop and maintain than magento. ---

Thanks very much Chris for the recommendation, will have a look at this two options too \> `PrestaShop or WordPress/WooCommerce` or even will consider to do it with RW Foundation or Foundry + RapidCard Pro 4 Advanced or Cartloom 4 PRO will see. > [@cric](#): > > Well, if you want an easy to design and manage site, go with RW as magento can be really tricky. > If you need a good ecommerce site with a lot of options (and maybe no other purpose than selling products), I would recommend to have a look at prestashop or WordPress/WooCommerce.
