The Significance of a Scalable Website, and More

Posted on: December 25, 2011 by Jordan Hardy

You may be building an eCommerce Website with standout software such as Magento, Zen Cart, VirtueMart, osCommerce, or BigCommerce. Or, you may be considering a terrific CMS such as Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine, or Interspire. It could be that you seek to build a blog with one of the best options, including WordPress, Typepad, Blogger, Movable Type, Squarespace, or Tumblr. Beyond these, there are hundreds of platform options. For sure, not one solution works for all companies.

While researching the best option for your business, I suggest choosing the most scalable platform. That way, as your business grows, you can add navigation layers, modules, features, content types, and technology. I find it also important that a Website solution provide files hosted on your own server. If this is possible, you don’t have to worry about their downtime or what happens if they go out of business. You’ll own your pages, and can migrate content if needed in an emergency. Another preference that comes to mind is having extremely flexible and editable templates. It can cost quite a bit of money to design new templates, so the ability to edit existing templates is a big plus in some cases.
