Developing your e-Commerce app with PHP - Is it good

Why PHP: PHP has a good reputation in the industry as a cost cutter technology. It is an open source language that enables the web developers to create advanced web applications without much headache for the development cost. Hence there are many large scale web applications build in PHP, that are not only popular but also having a good user response. The number of websites being developed in PHP is increasing at a rapid tempo with time. In the initial phase of PHP, it was used to develop common websites that are not heavy in size or functionality; but with time due to introduction of many PHP frameworks in the industry, PHP developers get inspired to build enterprise standard web applications for almost all sectors including e-commerce websites or web apps. In past few years, we have seen many e-commerce applications being developed in PHP for different platforms like Android, iOS and Windows etc.

PHP is cost effective: Due to open source in nature and huge availability of resources PHP developers are getting more than enough support from the industry. As a result, the process of web application development is getting easier with time and this impacts the development cost for the client. Moreover, with the availability of many PHP frameworks in the industry it becomes even easier to develop web apps for smart phones and tablets. The future relies on smart devices and fortunately PHP developers have the potential to develop e-commerce apps for these smart devices within budget.
