Magento is our preferred comprehensive e-commerce solution. It’s the world’s most utilized open-source e-commerce platform, with over 21% of online stores operating on it. Acquired by Adobe from eBay in 2018, Magento has robust corporate support, enhancing its capabilities and reliability.
Just like WooCommerce/WordPress, Magento Open Source benefits from its commercial counterpart, Magento Commerce, which requires a significant annual license fee. This relationship ensures that the open-source version remains robust and dependable, thanks to the infusion of resources from its well-funded proprietary development.
At Watermelon Web Works, we are adept at working with both Magento Commerce and Magento Open Source, tailoring our services to meet specific client needs.
Magento’s user-friendly administrative interface allows virtually anyone comfortable with a smartphone to manage e-commerce operations—such as adding products, creating coupons, processing orders, and managing site content. The launch of Magento 2 in 2015 further simplified these processes, including the integration of standard content pages like About Us and Contact Us.
We also provide a Magento maintenance plan to ensure your site remains PCI compliant, secure, and visible on Google.
For businesses looking to expand, Magento’s Multiple Storefronts feature allows for the management of various stores through a single administrative dashboard. Our configurations can support recurring payments, single-page checkouts to enhance customer conversions, and much more.
Magento Accessibility
Web Accessibility is an important part of having an optimized website. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) provides a set of guidelines for site features that need to be in place in order to make websites fully accessible and functional for users with disabilities. Ensuring that your website is fully compatible with screen readers and accounts for users with special needs all factor into accessibility.
Magento can be a difficult platform to customize, which can make implementing accessibility changes difficult and tedious. Our team has detailed knowledge about the necessary features to make your Magento site fully accessible, as well as experience with modifying the platform to implement those features.
Watermelon Web Works has also customized several Magento 1 & 2 sites to work with WordPress, the world’s best content management system and blog.
