Hi I’m using Magento 2 and always having issues not to mention I’m not a developer so that’s makes it worse. I’ve got years invested and now think it’s time to move on to another platform. I can’t even upgrade my php. My website has about 28,000 products on it and was wondering what recommendations for another platform that works great and user friendly and not to expensive. Thanks for your help
Hello There,

It sounds like you're having a tough time with Magento, especially without developer expertise, which can make managing such a platform challenging. For a user-friendly and cost-effective alternative, you can consider platforms like WordPress, which offers robust features, and ease of use, and can handle a large inventory like yours. If you want more customization without the complexities of Magento, WooCommerce (on WordPress) is a solid option.
Also, if you’re open to managed WordPress hosting, platforms like Devrims or Kinsta can simplify your website management by taking care of server maintenance, updates, and performance optimization.
Magento 2 is a powerful platform, but it can feel overwhelming if you're not a developer, especially when dealing with upgrades, PHP versions, and extensions.
While Magento 2 (especially with the latest versions and themes like Hyvä) can be incredibly fast, flexible, and scalable, it’s not always the right fit for every store owner - particularly if you’re looking for something more user-friendly and less technical to manage day to day.
If you’re seriously considering a move, it is an excellent alternative. It’s easy to use, fully hosted, and handles large catalogs well (28,000+ products is no problem). Plus, you can focus more on your business and less on the technical side of things.
