MAGENTO 2.3

Magento 2.3 is a CMS (content management system) for medium and large online stores and other web applications. It is a functional, flexible, easy-to-administer engine designed for B2C and B2B, which will give your website an excellent UI (user interface) and high performance. Magento is the basis of more than 30% of online stores around the world. All of them look equally good, although in different ways, and work stably on PCs and smartphones, solving e-commerce tasks.

What is a CMS and when do you need it?

Magento is a CMS or a content management system. This is a web application written in one of the programming languages (in this case, PHP), the basis to which modules responsible for various functions of your online store or other project are connected. The CMS determines how the site itself and its administrative panel will look and work, as well as many other important aspects, such as stability under heavy loads, as well as the details in the format of interface elements familiar to the user.

In theory, a website can be written from scratch in a pure programming language, but it is very difficult and unprofitable for many reasons, from hundreds of times higher price to problems at the stage of solving even the simplest tasks. That is why developers use CMS and frameworks. With a CMS, programmers have ready-made, customizable or custom modules from which to build a website, and a framework is a set of rules and tools for writing modules with the necessary functions. Both solutions are suitable for both small stores with several dozen products and large marketplaces. The only difference is how unusual features you want to offer your users. If you are going to release a complex web application with a unique business logic, it is better to choose a framework such as Laravel or Node.JS.

If you want to create an online store, a website for a delivery company, online services with a content subscription, and much more that works according to the principle familiar to users, you will most likely be able to use one of the CMSs. Development will be cheaper and faster, and the finished site will be highly ranked by search engines and well received by customers from the very beginning. The CMS already has a basic set of blocks and functions, and we have our own custom modules for popular tasks, for example, connecting Ukrainian payment services. All you have to do is choose a content management system, and Magento is one of the best options.

5 reasons to choose Magento for your web application
Why developers choose Magento
PHP and open source code 1 / 3

Anyone who knows a programming language can write a new plugin and expand the engine's capabilities. This means that developers can create, connect, and customize an unusual solution that is not yet available out of the box, specifically for your project. Magento 2.3 supports the latest version of PHP 7.2, and with it the latest tools, performance and security improvements.

Power 2 / 3

The tasks of large online stores and busy online services cannot be solved as efficiently with other CMS. With Magento, developers can easily implement the business logic you need. The CMS has tools to make a web application SEO-optimized, connect payment systems, delivery trackers, multichannel communication methods, and much more, including sophisticated analytics modules.

Comfort of development 3 / 3

Magento has a fairly high entry threshold, and although the system is becoming more developer and user friendly every year, only experienced programmers work with it. The latest build adds a visual editor and other tools for personalizing your project. Design, interface, and functionality are easy to make the way you want, while maintaining the factors that are important for online trading - speed and performance.
