In this article, we\u2019ll walk you through, step-by-step, how to make the choice between WordPress or Shopify for your new website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Should_I_Use_WordPress\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Should I Use WordPress?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>You should use WordPress if you want full control over your user experience, agency partners, and integrations.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress has two great advantages over Shopify for customization:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Open source code: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress code is free for anyone to download and modify, meaning that any developer can take WordPress and run with it. You pay WordPress no licensing fee for its software. Your costs go to making the site your own (more on that in a minute).<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>High adoption rate:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/colorlib.com\/wp\/wordpress-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">43% of all websites use WordPress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This scale means that there is a large amount of community resources. There is likely a use case similar to yours.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When customizing WordPress for e-commerce, the most common (and TechArk\u2019s preferred) plugin is WooCommerce. Like WordPress, WooCommerce is open source, meaning you can build your own extensions or install them from third parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/gotechark.com\/blog\/custom-website-design-vs-wordpress-themes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should I Pick a WordPress Theme or Custom Design?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Should_I_Use_Shopify\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Should I Use Shopify?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Shopify is right for you if you need a simple, easy setup that works well for e-commerce without coding or development knowledge.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify has two key pros over WordPress:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Built for e-commerce: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify is an e-commerce platform first, designed for online stores with basic features built in. Unlike WordPress, you do not have to purchase a separate plugin or download any code to list products, handle orders, or run transactions.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Customer Support: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open source platforms like WordPress offer no customer support; you get the code as-is. With Shopify, you have access to 24\/7 support because it is software-as-a-service.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several of our clients choose Shopify for their online shops because these sites are easy to create and maintain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Choose_Between_Shopify_or_WordPress_Three_Considerations\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do I Choose Between Shopify or WordPress: Three Considerations<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"cstm-title\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the free nature of WordPress\u2019 open source code, simple Shopify sites are less expensive to build and maintain. However, as you wish to make customizations and build integrations, WordPress has a much better return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from the premium software you license, you own the code with WordPress websites, which means you can change providers if you need to without losing your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Shopify, you lose your site as soon as you leave the platform because it is proprietary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/advisor\/business\/software\/shopify-vs-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify boasts more ecommerce specific integrations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than WordPress\u2019 WooCommerce plugin. Overall, however, WordPress has 50,000 total plugins in comparison to Shopify\u2019s 8,000, meaning that if you have needs beyond standard e-commerce, WordPress can support them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have asked yourself, \u201cIs WordPress or Shopify better for SEO,\u201d WordPress is the clear frontrunner.
