I’ve had clients come to me to optimize Shopify sites. I have yet to work on WP ecommerce – but I like the fact that they have an easy to use schema plugin (all-in-one-schema.org Rich Snippets) bec this will definitely remove my headaches in implementing markups 🙂

oh yes! there’s a plugin for everything with WP, that’s one of the things I love about WordPress, makes life easier! 🙂 Genesis framework as a better schema function than most themes, I think, based on the reviews that I’ve read and personal feedback from users.
