Ecommerce Website Design, CMS and Hosting is not really very much different from a medium to bigger informative website except few important points. From the title of this article on Ecommerce Website Design, CMS and Hosting has three aspects – Ecommerce Website Design, Ecommerce Website CMS and Ecommerce Website Hosting.
As the terminology Ecommerce Website is quite broader, quite obviously the technology needed to run an International Bank’s Ecommerce Website is not the same that of a Ecommerce Website selling few ebooks per month. We are taking it as a medium sized website with 50K daily pageviews and 10% conversion rate, which is quite high in some competitive segments.
Ecommerce Website CMS
As most are inclining towards CMS based solution, even for Ecommerce websites, instead of hand coded HTML pages, there are practically few CMS those are used now. The major difference of a Ecommerce Website with a blog is the need of an integrated cart and payment gateway. Other than that, practically all other aspects are same. In fact a blog needs much more updates to stay in the SERP than a ecommerence website. There are various reasons behind it. Whatever the reasons are, our main discussion in this paragraph is about CMS. Magento, OpenCart, PrestaShop are widely used Open Source (free) CMS.
Now there is a slight inclination towards WordPress as Ecommerce Website CMS after availability of various plugins and specific Themes. Quite obviously, if carefully handcrafted, a Ecommerce Website based on WordPress can simply make others shameful from various aspects – the look, features, SEO friendliness, wide community support and the list is non ever ending.

The most important point is hosting, as moving from one bad host to another is not only pathetic, you will loss a part of sales too. We highly recommend to chose within three options – Rackspace, Amazon and Media Template.
