Volusion vs Shopify
Volusion and Shopify are two of the most successful shopping cart platforms available, and they both have a great deal to offer. If you sell products or services online, you need an eCommerce service that is user-friendly, secure, fully customizable, search engine optimized, and built to convert. As the founder and CEO of a highly successful Los Angeles design and development firm, I’ve worked with all of the major shopping carts, and I’ve had successes with most of them.… read more “Volusion vs Shopify”

Shopify Vs BigCommerce Vs Magento Vs NetSuite- Ecommerce Review
The Goods on the best shopping cart:
I know you are all here for one primary reason: to find out what the best shopping cart is! Well without further delay, here is the list as it stands now:
- BigCommerce – Extremely easy setup, full design customization, rapid dev, best SEO, great support in Austin

- ZenCart – Full of security holes, but you can custom program anything
- NetSuite – Massively overpriced

How to Buy A Used Car
- Avoid dealers – they are professionals at this and will always beat you… either you will get a lemon or you will overpay. Every single time without question.
- Avoid buying on credit (or much credit). Banks make an absolute fortune on car loans.
