Main features of Magento
Magento is an open source e-commerce content management software created on the basis of the Zend Framework in 2008. The latest Magento version uses Symfony technology. The vocation of Magento is to enable companies to build their own medium to large e-commerce sites. This technology has been designed for high traffic sites that offer large product catalogs.
Magento is intended for all e-merchants. However, it should be noted that the implementation of this technology is not within the scope of beginners. To create a viable and scalable e-commerce site with Magento, you need to have advanced technical skills.
