Nissar When we look at the chart — most CMSs like Wix/Joomla are not growing. They are in fact shrinking. The only platform that’s growing is Shopify. For me — the indication is that when it comes to Websites/blogs — WordPress is still the leading choice. However, when it comes to eCommerce — Shopify is gaining on WooCommerce. WooCommerce has to be Automattic’s Achilles heel. It scares a lot of new webstore owners because it’s not straightforward to set up. The WordPress team should make it easier to purchase WooCommerce extensions. To compete with Shopify, they can launch a subscription service that includes extensions. The new WordPress 5.9 & 6.0 full-editing features and Gutenberg enhancements should IMHO help people move away from Wix or others.
