Independently verified and not just Magento tooting their horn, 26% of the top 1 million sites (as ranked by industry leader Alexa) run the Magento e-commerce software. This is the third year in a row Magento has emerged the leader and the platform appears to be growing exponentially far eclipsing its closest competitors.

You would recall that I’ve recently introduced Magento as one of my recommended options for serious e-commerce in Trinidad & Tobago. I’ll be launching my first client’s Magento store soon so you’ll be able to see a working local store in action. One of my other options, Big Commerce also appears as one of the major platforms (as their parent Interspire) even though they offer no free edition like most of the others.

You’ll observe that the WordPress platform is noticeably absent and that’s no surprise as WordPress wasn’t specifically built for e-commerce even though it does the job, so it remains a great option I would say for smaller scale online stores in T&T.

About admin

I am Zaf Rahaman, owner of Forward Multimedia Ltd, a Trinidad based digital agency now in our 15th year. Through my experience acquired on the ground since 2011, I’ve become known as one of the foremost authorities in E-Commerce, especially as it pertains to Trinidad & Tobago. I began writing blog articles on various topics after observing the lack of online information about local E-Commerce. These articles quickly propelled the Forward Multimedia to the number one position on Google for all major industry keywords, a position consistently held since without challenge. In 2018 I was an invited panelist in the annual Trinidad and Tobago Internet Governance Forum. Also in 2018 I was an invited speaker for the launch of the Virtual Caribbean DNS Entrepreneurship Center (VDECC) an initiative of ICANN- the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the international body that that coordinates the Domain Name System (DNS) worldwide. I was also a stakeholder consultant for the Ministry of Trade & Industry’s National E-Commerce Policy which was passed in December 2018, with many of my recommendations making it to the final policy. Most of all, I love to write AND love to write on everything website and E-Commerce related to help business owners in Trinidad & Tobago get the most out of their online presence. ALL articles and pages on my site are written by me, in my voice, from the ground up, and for you, from a Trini perspective, using local examples and applications.
