Web, Ecommerce, Data & Automation
Websites, storefronts, hosting, QA, databases, analytics and the automation between them: how each is built, what it is judged on, where they go wrong.
About Web, Ecommerce, Data & Automation
Websites, storefronts, the data underneath them, and the automation in between.
The thread running through all four is that each is judged after launch rather than at it. A site is worth what it converts, a store is worth what it ships, a database is worth what you can get back out of it, and an automation is worth the hours it removes rather than the hours it took to build.
The decisions in this area are mostly platform decisions, and platform decisions are made once and then lived with for years. WordPress or a custom CMS. Shopify or WooCommerce. Build the integration or buy it. Each of those is a cost structure wearing the costume of a technical preference, and the cost turns up in year two.
So the comparisons here are written with the ongoing numbers attached — licences, hosting, the support load each choice creates — rather than as feature tables. Feature tables are the reason people pick the wrong platform confidently.
