We had the opportunity to ask some questions cofounder of http://www.codeur.com who is also responsible for http://www.comparatif-ecommerce.com .

- Hello Serge, can you introduce yourself and your company?
Hello, my name is Serge Roukine, I am the co-founder of Codeur.com, the French marketplace benefits in development, web design and SEO.

- You are responsible for codeur.com, can you give us some figures on this site?
Yes, absolutely. We founded the company in 2006, we have over 6,000 providers freelancers, web-agencies or SSII. Our clients have published almost 4500 projects since the site. In all, over 45,000 quotes were compared by the project leaders. We have 3 dedicated servers, we are 5 to work full time on the site, and we have thirty domain name associated with our business :-)

- The offers of codeur.com, which part owns the e-commerce ?
On tenders published on encoder, I think we're third. Over 30% of the projects are related to e-commerce. Today, anyone can open his shop and offer its products directly online. This is a chance that no generation before ours had been. So of course, nothing is easy, but at least we can try without taking (too) risk. We are very excited about the e-commerce and that is why we place a special place for e-merchants on our site.

- How does the proposed benefits of Open Source software and in particular on Magento and Prestashop?
There are more and more providers are trained on Prestashop and Magento. And more and more customers too! The services that are requested on these two solutions involve first creations turnkey shop, but also updates, creations of charters and maintenance. Now get a e-commerce website application to consume services but not necessarily expensive on a regular basis for good update, secure and improve his shop.

- You just mount another site: www.comparatif-ecommerce.com , can you present?
Yes, with pleasure :) This is a fairly new site and so far in development. Roughly speaking, we wanted to install on a site all open-source systems so that visitors can test systems (admin and guest) without having to search the net every time.

- For what purpose did you realize this site?
As explained previously the aim is to provide a tool to test different solutions before choosing. Moreover, we tried to compare different solutions and highlight the pluses and minuses of each system.

- What is your business model (for comparison- ecommerce )?
There is no real business model for this site. We just want to help e-tailers in the making and at the same time make them aware encoder and the many e-commerce providers. Nothing in this category that we have over 2000 providers ready to respond to tenders and to fight on the quality, timeliness and price for the win.

- How do you evolve this site?
We will try to enrich it, by improving testing, opening it to other solutions that would emerge, or by adding new functions.

- What advice can you give a newcomer to the world of e-commerce?
First make the attempt. An idea has never reported if it is not prosecuted. Then be well informed. On the one hand, following the news on Magavenue :) but by carefully comparing the solutions. Finally choose a complementary partner (technical or commercial) or a trusted provider to technically support the creation of the site. Finally, be patient: the Internet, whatever is said, success takes time.

- Do you have other projects in anticipation?
For now we focus on comparison and encoder-ecommerce, believe me the work is already taking. But in the web, as you know, projects are mounted on all sides, so who knows?

- A last word?

Hi Stephane,
We (Magavenue) are not designers ecommerce-comparative. We therefore can not you add it.

If you are interested, you can write articles with your solution, or how to use (install, add products, themes ...) that we can publish on the blog.
