Laravel E Commerce vs. LightCMS (discontinued)

Well, in case of designing dynamic websites using core OOP concepts this framework is perfect. However, in case of integrating with web services and other API's and developing features for Android apps this might not be a good product.

LightCMS is perfect for 90% of websites out there. It has all the basic modules like calendars, photo galleries, news/blog, or forms building built in. Small businesses to mid-sized businesses are perfect for LightCMS. We use other solutions when the requierments for the website include a lot of third party integrations or custom modules. As a hosted CMS it has the same limitations as others with server-side development.

• Version Controlling - It's on the top of my list that Laravel does great as its built-in features.
• As Laravel supports OOP concept, so it has made it much more easier for developers to developer apps in most recent languages.
• It supports a huge collection of free extensions which are easy available in its store.
• It supports a large number of latest programming languages.

• LightCMS provides all the major functionality 90% of sites need. It keeps out of its own way by making these solutions intuitive and simple and not trying to solve every problem for everyone which would over-complicate the tool-set.
• This is the easiest to use CMS we have ever seen. I tell my client's that if they can make a Facebook post, they can manage their website, and it's true. Their UI is so easy and keeps getting easier to use. Untrained users get it in minutes and are able to manage their sites without our help.
• LightCMS's code is simple and light-weight. Sites are fast and the CMS doesnt get in the way of performance.
• You can do almost anything you want (except server-side programming) with LightCMS. So, we can create any design we want and it works great with Light CMS's tokens and editable regions concept (which is also simple to implement.)
• Constantly upgraded and fixed, the product is 1000x better after 10 years of working with it, but is still simple and not bloated.

• In some cases developers need to integrate with third party apps. Laravel E Commerce needs to improve it in the form of a single package.
• It consumes a lot of system resources and sometimes gets stuck if multiple projects are open.
• Finding error is this framework is a quite difficult task. This mechanism needs to be improved.

• While keeping it simple is LightCMS's thing, some of the elements/modules could use deeper options or control for advanced users.
• Some content, such as calendars, cannot have data exported/imported easily.
• Support was amazing 10 years ago. We openly talked about how awesome they were... it isn't as good as it once was, but is still way above almost every support of other CMS systems we have used.

Laravel E Commerce is simple, elegant and robust. It is easy to use and customize websites even for a newbie. It does not require much effort as compared to other products. All the relevant data is available over the Internet which is a great advantage for beginners. It comes with a lot of stunning features.

We have looked at hundrends of CMS's and LightCMS is a perfect entry-level system for most of our small to mid sized clients. LightCMS's feature set is less complex than almost every other system and the actual interface is miles ahead of most other CMS systems. It's simply thought out better. It lacks sensibility and an API as well as other advanced features many more expensive or more DIY systems have, but the simplicity makes up for it.

• With this framework, analytics can be set using PHP modules that helps to get more profit from your online stores.
• If payment securities can be further improved, it helps you to make most out of your investment.
• With Laravel E Commerce, Ecommerce solutions can be built for profit purposes.

• While I always think the price could be cheaper, LightCMS is incredibly inexpensive if you consider the costs of hosting, support, and upgrading is all included.
• As part of their partner program, we are able to control client accounts from our master account, making moving between clients easier and supporting them faster which ultimately makes our labor costs better.
