Before you read: This article series aims at the Magento CE vs. Lemonstandapp comparison

A few months ago I ran into this e-commerce platform and after some serious flirting fell deeply in love with this no-frills approach to e-commerce.

As you may know I’m experiencing my third year with Magento development and have dealt with development of many stores. This will of course continue as Magento is now more powerful than ever and especially with the advent of Magento 2.0 and the x-commerce ecosystem as the result of e-bay completely buying Magento.

Then why would I even consider dealing with another platform?

Well, the answer is actually simple: if you don’t need Magento and believe me a lot of store owners do not need it, they just want it because of  the endless possibilities that eventually don’t get to perform on stage for their audience, you’ll need an elegant solution that covers e-commerce, blogging and CMS from the start in a way that Magento does not have right out of the box or needs extra customization.

At this point I’d like to clarify that these series of posts will be covering both feature comparisons and my attempt to master LemonstandApp inner workings.

What’s next?

My first post we’ll be developer oriented about some basics of pages, templates and partials.

Here it is: “Lemonstand App” CMS objects”

Next post we’ll be dealing with the comparison between Magento CE and Lemonstand App and should see the light of day by the end of this week.

Hope you’ll find this series informative and please leave your comments or just go straight ahead to see their documentation, demo store and the blog.
