Shopify and Joomla are two very different platforms — one built specifically for ecommerce, the other built for flexibility.

But if your goal is to sell online, which one actually gives you the best tools to run a successful store?

I’ve spent hours comparing both platforms — from their pricing to their design features to how easy they are to use day-to-day.

After testing both platforms for ecommerce setups, Shopify is the clear winner for most online sellers. But Joomla has a few surprises too, especially if you’re more technical or want full control.

Let’s walk through what I found.

When I first started working with B2B ecommerce businesses, I realized something quickly: most companies were trying to apply B2C thinking to B2B websites. And it wasn’t working.

Selling to businesses is completely different from selling to individual consumers.

The buying journey is longer. The orders are larger. The expectations are higher.

If you’re trying to build or redesign a B2B ecommerce website, it’s not just about picking the right platform or adding a few product pages.

You have to think about how businesses buy—and then design everything around that.

In this article, I’ll break down what goes into building a high-performing B2B ecommerce website.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or overhauling an old system, this is the roadmap.

Framer and Squarespace are two very different website builders, but both are gaining popularity with online sellers looking to launch visually appealing ecommerce stores.

If you’re wondering which one is right for your business, you’re not alone.

I’ve spent over 100 hours testing, reviewing, and comparing both platforms across key ecommerce features like design flexibility, ecommerce tools, SEO, pricing, and ease of use.

After going hands-on with each, here’s what I found.

If you’re a creative with design experience, Framer offers unmatched visual freedom.

But if you want a full-featured, beginner-friendly ecommerce solution, Squarespace is the better all-rounder.

After comparing ecommerce tools across multiple platforms and analyzing over 200 hours of creator-focused product testing, Stan Store stands out as one of the most streamlined digital storefronts for influencers, coaches, and online educators.

But how much does it actually cost? And more importantly, is Stan Store worth the price compared to other tools?

In a nutshell, Stan Store offers two paid plans, ranging from $29/month to $99/month, depending on the features you need.
