It is observed as an easier platform in main ways, which ultimately aids in proper management and extension. It is faster in a series of aspects, however, the decision might not be properly proper-cut for the store owners. As the worthy choice, let’s figure out how to make a well-informed decision.

How old is the existing version

At first, take a look on the existing Magento installation. You can see the present version at the bottom of the backend. If, it is anything less than 1.14 for the Enterprise edition or 1.9 for the Community edition, make sure of the fact that; you are running much behind in terms of features, performance and security. Your store should be optimized for the modern mobile-buying consumers.

What about the extensions

The biggest concern is; whether the themes and extensions presently used on your Magento 1.x store will function properly on Magento 2. Well, the answer is ‘no’ as because the Magento extensions are being re-written at par to the new platform. The present 1.x themes and extensions will not only copy over and work. But, you can be able to create one single migration plan which, will retain the advantages and attributes of the existing site.

It’s the time to do a Face-lift

Themes can be considered as another issue. Presently, there are over 2 themes being listed in the Marketplace of Magento 2. However, more number of themes are soon to be implemented in the platform. Thus, if the existing online store is sluggish, not responsive or boasts a conventional style design, then, migrating to Magento 2 serves as the great opportunity for an improved face-lift which, provides with real benefits.
