Similarities and Differences

Similarities

Regardless of what you pick, Magento or WordPress, the platforms are free. These are powerful open source environments that can help you with web development. These platforms have blogging as an integral functionality. This enables users to generate content related information for your business. We believe that both Magento and WordPress gives brilliant customization options and fascinating themes.


Differences

  • If you want professional websites, you must go for Magento. WordPress is ideal for simple websites.
  • Hosting websites in Magento is quite expensive. WordPress is cheaper than Magento.
  • It is easy to install sites in WordPress. The process is cumbersome in Magento.
  • Customizing websites in Magento is more difficult than WordPress.

What is your site’s purpose?

  1. Try to establish a multi-vendor marketplace. In such cases, Magento will be useful and reliable. The robustness of Magento will help you.
  2. If you are planning to sell virtual products, you should use WordPress. It comes with simple order tracking methods and shipping strategies.
  3. Both WordPress and Magento offers company services. You can integrate shopping carts easily.
  4. Both WordPress and Magento can be used to sell physical products. But, if you want to sell more than 500 products, you should go with Magento.

Templates

When it comes to templates, WordPress will delight you with multiple posts and pages. There are plenty of loops and functions to help you call page content and posts. You can create customized template files in a single page. Though Magento offers similar features, WordPress is less programmatic and more UI oriented. If you wish to add CMS page templates in Magento, you cannot rely on new template files. Instead, you must create new modules.


CMS Static Blocks

In Magento, CMS static blocks is a collection of posts. On the other hand, it is a collection of widgets in WordPress. You need CMS static blocks to place texts and images in a page/template. This is quite similar to widgets in WordPress. Of course, Magento has its own widgets too. These widgets offer high level functionalities. A major difference between these platforms is that Magento is carefully powered by OOPs concepts and WordPress depends on PHP scripts. And, most of engineers claim that WordPress has stricter naming conventions than Magento.


Conclusion

It is quite evident that Magento is more recommended and efficient than WordPress. If you want to launch a successful ecommerce website, you must opt for expertise and professionalism. Well, these qualities can be expensive. Luckily, WordPress is evolving on a regular basis. We can expect the platform to support larger businesses. It is coming up with newer management tools to make your life easy. As this happens, Magento will be the best and ultimate pick for selling products online. Here we use Magento to host marketing content without any worries or technical troubles.
