Yesterday, during our conversation, one of my prospects was asking about the ability of WordPress CMS to build eCommerce websites and other web applications. I did explain to her the possibilities that WordPress can easily deliver and I also shared some of the websites that we developed using WordPress.
I must say, she was quite impressed with WordPress & agreed to build her eCommerce store using WordPress.
