How long does it take to learn e-commerce?

Part of the Additional Pages Index

The time it takes to learn how to use any piece of software depends on a number of important factors.

How "intuitive" is the software?

If a program is organised well and everything is in the right place (both visually and logically) then the you will be able to find everything you need without issue.

Is the software well designed?

Software that adheres to strict "design patterns" is always easier to understand and use. A clean and easy design means that you can concentrate on the task at hand without distraction! Additionally, if the software has logical "grouping", by colour or location, then you will always be able to find what you are looking for!

COG groups the administrative tasks by both colour and location, meaning that at a glance it is easy to know which part of your shop you are modifying!

How much help is there?

If you get stuck what options do you have? It is always useful to have an active support channel as well as good documentation for reference!

Every editable part of the COG administration is grouped with a help document meaning that there's always a quick reference or definition. We also have an actively monitored and maintained support forum for anything that the Help can't solve!

To conclude

If the software has done everything right, then its perfectly plausible to "hit the ground running".

We at COG have tested and analysed the vast majority of the popular e-commerce solutions and have found most of them difficult to use on at least one of the sections raised above. Through these analyses we have learned from their mistakes and have created something we truly believe anyone can use without any hassle!
