Question :
Can I use SiteGiant instead of WordPress for E-commerce ? What is the advantage and disadvantage ? I was told it is specially designed for E commerce use.
Answer :
SiteGiant can link to all the E-commerce marketplace. You can also do auto posting to the marketplace with one click button.
Useful if you need to publish products in multiple stores, instead of doing multiple product posting.
The disadvantage for platforms like SiteGiant, EasyStore, Shopify is although they have built-in SEO settings, it is not as strong as as compared to Wordpress.
These platforms caters for E-commerce needs not marketing needs.
So if you are looking for FaceBook Advertising to drive traffic, SiteGiant no issue.
But if you are looking for SEO to drive traffic, it will require more effort in SEO, and there is nothing much you can do on these platforms to optimize for SEO.
Wordpress is very SEO friendly, these platforms are merchant friendly
So it really depends on your business needs.
