Frequently
Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between WooCommerce and MetrixCMS?

    WooCommerce is a plugin for WordPress that turns a WordPress site into a full-featured online shop. It’s widely used, open-source, and very flexible, with thousands of themes, extensions, and integrations for payment, shipping, and marketing. However, it can become complicated to manage as your store grows, as it will need regular updates and third-party add-ons. MetrixCMS, on the other hand, is a dedicated content management system designed specifically for eCommerce. Unlike WooCommerce’s reliance on WordPress, MetrixCMS is purpose-built, with integrated features and a simpler learning curve. It’s less dependent on third-party plugins, making it faster and often more secure.

  • How long does it take to build an eCommerce website?

    The timeline to getting your website up and running will depend on your store’s size and features, as well as which platform you choose. A basic site may take 8-12 weeks, while complex, custom builds can take longer. I will provide you with a scope of works before you give me the go-ahead for your project, so you’ll know what to expect and can plan accordingly.

  • Can I manage my products and orders myself?

    Yes. You’ll get access to a user-friendly content management system so you can easily update products, track orders, and manage inventory, if you want to.

  • Will my eCommerce website be mobile-friendly?

    Yep! Every store is fully responsive, ensuring a seamless shopping experience on phones, tablets, and desktops.

  • Do you integrate payment gateways?

    Yes. I can make sure your build includes secure payment options like Stripe, Google Pay, PayPal and card payments.
