What is Bitrix. Typical online stores Cms Bitrix

1C-Bitrix is ​​convenient to use for work major projects, which require stability and a high level of protection. The platform is optimized for RuNet, which is manifested not only in the localization of the interface, but also in the support of domestic services: both other 1C products and solutions from third-party developers.

1C-Bitrix also offers built-in tools for monitoring site traffic, studying referral sources and user behavior. This module is weaker in functionality than Yandex.Metrica or Google Analytics, but it can also be used to collect basic information about the success of the site.

There are a large number available on the engine by default marketing tools. Among them:

  • System for sending notifications to registered users.
  • Widgets for communicating with clients on the site and beyond.
  • Authorization through social networks and social bar to share links.
  • Analytical data demonstrating a portrait of the audience and showing traffic.
  • A/B testing to study the effectiveness of a sales offer.

The standard functionality of the engine is expanded by installing applications from the Marketplace. Here you can find ready-made websites, integrations with third-party services, applications for managing and interacting with visitors. For example, there is the “1C-Bitrix: Administration” application, which allows you to manage orders, edit product cards, and monitor statistics.

Another solution is the 1C-Bitrix: Demo Store program, which eliminates the need to order the development of a mobile version. With this application you can create a catalog that will be available to customers from their phone. They will be able to make purchases through it, as well as subscribe to notifications about the arrival of new products.

In older editions of 1C-Bitrix, the ability to collaborate is implemented, which automates the process of interaction between employees. For example, product cards with descriptions prepared by a content manager are not immediately published in the public domain, but are first sent for review by the site administrator, who receives a notification about this. After studying the material, the administrator decides to add it to the user part of the site.

The system also offers convenient tools for managing and communicating with users. You can create groups and assign them statuses that will determine access to certain opportunities - for example, participation in promotions or the use of promotional codes. To resolve any issues that may arise, you can connect to an online consultant or set up a separate module for customer support. It collects requests through a special form and groups them by topic. To manage the module, you need a manager who will answer questions or forward them to other employees. With a large number of requests, the support service can grow into an entire department that will work only with customer problems.

Almost unlimited scalability is one of the main features of 1C-Bitrix. You can start with a small site that will be managed by one person, and over time you can reach a large portal with a bunch of employees and different opportunities for interacting with customers. And all this can be implemented within one system - only the editions differ.

Design

Websites are created based on templates that determine their structure and how content is presented. One layout can contain several themes, but the difference between them will be mainly in the colors. All templates have a responsive layout that ensures excellent display of content on different devices. You can customize the design using a visual editor, editing template files, as well as downloading solutions developed independently or ordered from specialists.

The visual editor's capabilities are limited. With it, you can edit content, change photos, place links and banners. The editor is available in the “Site Management” module, which adds a universal designer to the engine. There are more than 35 thematic templates and about 200 blocks available on it, which can be freely moved on pages and modified.

However, the builder is more suitable for launching landing pages as part of the marketing promotion of individual products/services. Websites created in the designer are located on the same hosting as the main project and are available as its subdomains. This connection allows you to quickly pull up the necessary data - for example, place a product from an online store on the landing page and use the functionality of the main website to place an order.

To deeply customize the site interface, you need to edit the template files. The visual editor is not an assistant here; its prerogative is to customize the accompanying pages. If you have never edited templates yourself, then the most effective solution a web designer and layout designer will be hired to solve this problem.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO parameters are located in the “Search Engine Optimization” section of the administrative panel. Inside you will find tools for adding search engines in which promotion will be carried out, as well as for creating a site map and indexing rules. To receive more detailed reports on the operation of the site and its further optimization, you will need the “Web Analytics” module. It is available in business editions.

To manage standard SEO parameters, the functionality of the visual editor is used. It allows you to enter key phrases for which the section will be promoted in search engines, as well as enter title and description meta tags.

Among special tools optimization can be noted composite site. When this technology is enabled, the site content is defined in two parts - dynamic and static. Static content is loaded immediately after the user clicks on the link, and the dynamic part is loaded gradually. This allows you to save resources and at the same time speed up page loading.

Tariffs

An online demo is available for 3 hours to test the system's capabilities. If you want to explore Bitrix a little deeper, download the trial version for a month. To use the system permanently, you must purchase a license. If you select several editions at once, a discount of 5% to 15% will be calculated upon purchase.

The minimal edition of “Start” allows you to create two websites. The number of pages on them is not limited. In addition to the 1C-Bitrix core, it offers a built-in constructor, a structure management module, information blocks, and site search. At Start you can create a small company website with news, a list of vacancies, galleries, and catalogs.

To add interactivity in interaction with users, you need to upgrade to the “Standard” tariff. It removes the limit on the number of sites, and also adds the “Forum” and “Blogs” modules, plus some marketing tools and an additional security module appear. Creating a store is only possible in the business editions, which have appropriate names.

The maximum configuration of the engine is available when purchasing an Enterprise license. Its price is not indicated, as it depends on the type and complexity of the project. But the cost calculation starts from 1.5 million rubles. The power of the editorial office is emphasized by the projects that were created on it. Among them are the Euroset store, RIA Novosti, and the websites of large banks.

Each edition has templates with ready-made solutions for launching various sites: landing pages, stores, information portals. In addition, along with a lifetime license, the buyer receives an annual subscription to updates. After 12 months, you can continue to use the engine, but updates will no longer come. The cost of renewing a subscription depends on the time of payment, the maximum value is 60% of the original edition price.

Advantages and disadvantages

1C-Bitrix is ​​a powerful system on the basis of which you can build a website of any complexity. By purchasing the appropriate edition, you will be absolutely sure that the engine is ready to implement the task at hand - for example, creating a store. This allows you to speed up the development process, since in fact the user can only adapt ready-made solutions to his project. Let's note other advantages:

  • An editor with a visual mode that simplifies interface customization.
  • System of user groups with division of rights.
  • Built-in security tools and the ability to purchase extensions to protect your site.
  • Possibility of connecting modules developed independently.
  • Engine updates and expansion of its functionality.
  • Own system for accelerating page display.
  • Marketplace with applications and ready-made websites.
  • Deep integration with other 1C products.

Using 1C-Bitrix requires a serious budget. You will have to pay specialists who will monitor the performance of the system and set up integration with other services, for updates, the subscription to which extends only for a year. In addition, the engine is quite demanding on resources, so you need to invest a lot of money in hosting. You can get by with virtual hosting only for very small projects. The bulk of sites on 1C-Bitrix are located on VPS and dedicated servers, and this requires considerable investment.

It is possible to create your own website on 1C-Bitrix without the help of specialists, but solving this problem will take much more time than mastering a free CMS or website builder. The same visual editor, which simplifies site management, is only suitable for adding and changing content. When it comes to administration, ensuring uninterrupted operation, and timely updating of components, it is required technical support from those who are professionally involved in projects on 1C-Bitrix.

Developers also find shortcomings in the CMS. One of the main complaints is the complex code and the lack of detailed documentation in the public domain. To understand the peculiarities of the system, you have to take courses, most often paid, conducted by 1C and partners.

“1C-Bitrix: Site Management” is a professional platform for creating web projects of any complexity, ideal for supporting and developing corporate websites, online stores and information portals.

Setting up - using the Wizard


I promised to devote a separate article to 1C-Bitrix software products, and now I am fulfilling this promise. The article is a review, in it I will not delve into the technical details and features of using the program code; for this there is detailed documentation available to everyone on the company’s official website.

Here I will talk about the important features of the Bitrix Framework, as well as the software products created on this platform. The article is intended primarily for users who want to understand whether their business needs certain Bitrix developments and what their features are. Also, the information from this article may be useful to developers who work with other CMSs, but also want to get some insight into Bitrix.

Lately I often come across website integration with CRM systems and programs for recording the movement of goods and cash. Most often in our country, integration is required with different versions and configurations of 1C. Also, often, by the time they contact me, customers have either already created a Bitrix website, or are interested in the possibility of switching to this engine, since the 1C company recommends it as a system that has everything necessary to automate data exchange. Numerous questions and the accumulated practical experience of working with Bitrix sites became the factors due to which I remembered my long-standing promise to talk in detail about Bitrix and nevertheless wrote this article.

What is Bitrix?

I propose to start with the definition of the very concept of Bitrix. Typically this name is used in two versions:
  1. Bitrix is ​​the name of the developer company software.
  2. Bitrix is ​​an environment for developing web applications, the so-called Bitrix Framework.
A little history
First, let's talk about the company in order to understand where the Bitrix software product came from and why its name turned out to be that way. The Bitrix company was founded back in 1998, immediately after the financial crisis, as a web studio specializing in the development of custom-made websites. In the early 2000s, the company created and began to develop its own CMS system, which it also called Bitrix. The first versions of the Bitrix CMS were not fundamentally different from many other website engines, until in 2007 the 1C company bought out a controlling stake in Bitrix, after which the site management system received the name 1C-Bitrix.

It is important to understand that after such a merger of companies and the subsequent change in the name of the product occurred at the business and marketing level, i.e. The companies merged, the brand merged, but the technical solutions for the most part remained the same - each software product (1C and Bitrix) had its own.

Very often, users, focusing on the name and advertising from the 1C company, come to the conclusion: if the company uses 1C and seeks to create an online store, then it is best to choose the Bitrix CMS for this, because these are products under the same brand and 1C developers also recommend It is this engine that is the best for exchanging data with the 1C program.

Similarly, and vice versa, if there is an online store on Bitrix and the owner comes to the conclusion about the need to automate sales, then from all the options for accounting systems he will most likely choose 1C software products.

In fact, Bitrix and 1C are different products created by different companies, and the developers of these products work completely independently of each other. It cannot even be said that 1C developers focus their work on the needs of Bitrix users or, conversely, that Bitrix developers take into account some innovations from 1C in their work. And the combination of names is exclusively marketing a move that must be admitted was very successful. That is, this move can be considered a successful move precisely from the marketing side; from the technical side, I cannot give positive examples from the merger.

Bitrix as a software product
All Bitrix software products are based on the Bitrix Framework. If you refer to the help section on the 1C-Bitrix website, you can see the following definition:
Bitrix Framework is a PHP-based platform for developing web applications. On this platform, 1C-Bitrix has created two popular products: “1C-Bitrix: Site Management” and “1C-Bitrix: Corporate Portal”.

This definition is clear to web developers, but does not tell users anything. Therefore, I will try to explain in a simplified way what we are talking about.

Framework is a kind of “framework”, a platform for creating software products.
PHP is the programming language in which this “framework” is written.

Based on this “framework”, this platform, the Bitrix company created the software products “1C-Bitrix: Site Management” and “1C-Bitrix: Corporate Portal”. These are ready-made CMSs that can be installed on your hosting, configured and worked with, just like with any other content management system.

From a technical point of view, Bitrix software products (websites and mobile applications) are created on the basis of its own Bitrix Framework platform.

  1. Today these software products are represented by the following solutions:
  2. 1C-Bitrix: Site management. A system for creating websites and online stores.
  3. 1C-Bitrix: Corporate portal. Platform for creating powerful corporate portals.
  4. Mobile applications based on the Bitrix Framework (mobile versions of websites, etc.)
  5. Various ready-made industry solutions.
In addition, Bitrix supports own store“App Store” called MarketPlace, where you can also buy or download for free various solutions, for example, templates, additional modules, add-ons for software products, ready-made solutions for connecting telephony, integration with other services, etc.

The development of software products on the Bitrix Framework platform is carried out by a narrow circle of programmers consisting of company specialists. This is a commercial product, and therefore this limitation can be considered an advantage. Software updates are predictable and clear, the approach to work is comprehensive, and new features usually work exactly as advertised.

The company also takes a very responsible approach to the operation of its MarketPlace add-on and application store. Not only company employees, but also third-party developers can offer development for this store. But any proposed product undergoes strict pre-moderation, the solution is tested by Bitrix specialists, and only after their approval appears in the public domain.

Among the disadvantages of this approach, it should be noted that the number of extensions (modules) is much less than that of products with a free license, and they are much less diverse. This is understandable - the number of developers is not limited by the size of the company.

What is a "framework"? More about Bitrix Framework

Bitrix Framework is a certain set of ready-made modules and components, i.e. “bricks” from which Bitrix programmers create software products. In principle, any programmer can, if desired, use the Bitrix Framework platform to create their own software solutions; it is also quite possible to modify ready-made Bitrix products in the way the user needs.

Bitrix Framework is an open source solution, i.e. a programmer can modify your Bitrix software product in any way he likes; there are no restrictions on access to software modules and their code in this system. But at the same time, Bitrix Framework is a solution supplied on the basis of licenses. Those. You can install and use software products based on the Bitrix Framework on as many computers as the number of licenses you purchased.

For comparison: 1C software products also come with licensing, but only the configuration can be modified; the kernel (the basis of the software product) is not available to programmers. In Bitrix, a programmer can make any changes, including to the core. And, for example, DRUPAL is an open source system, but without licensing.

In order to understand how Bitrix software solutions work, you need to know that each of them consists of a core (platform) and add-on modules. Those. There is a programming language (php) in which the core is written. The kernel contains certain capabilities, rules, and tools that can be used by the developer. When creating a software product, the necessary tools are connected and configured; if necessary, the kernel can also be modified. And when working with a finished software product, you can also adjust the platform, but more often it remains untouched, and improvements are made using various external modules.

You also need to take into account that the platform already includes a certain list of basic modules that can be connected or disabled if necessary. That’s why, for example, the corporate portal has a “shopping cart” module, which would seem to be completely unnecessary. But, since it was included in the basic set, it is present in all Bitrix software products.
Next, the user (moderator, site administrator, etc.) can work with ready-made tools and use them to create content, post products, and so on.

Bitrix software products

Bitrix software products differ from each other mainly in the set of modules that are included in the ready-made solution, and are divided into categories according to the type of site that may be required in a particular case:
  1. The solution “1C-Bitrix: Site Management” is a software product that is used to develop online stores, business card sites and similar projects.
  2. The 1C-Bitrix: Corporate Portal solution is best suited for large companies and for any business that requires a corporate portal to operate.
  3. Industry solutions are specialized solutions based on the Bitrix Framework, which provide modules for organizing work in a particular industry.
1C-Bitrix: Enterprise – a solution for large Internet projects.
Also in a separate direction it is worth highlighting the product “1C-Bitrix: Mobile application”, which is used to create mobile versions of websites or online stores, as well as other types of applications for mobile devices, which, once created, can be posted for download or sale on the App Store or Google Play. This software product is also a ready-made platform, thanks to which the creation mobile applications it happens much faster and easier than working as a programmer from scratch.

Let me also remind you once again that any 1C-Bitrix product after purchase can be modified at any level, starting from the familiar external modules and add-ons to core modifications.

1C-Bitrix. Site management
“Site Management” is a software product designed for creating and managing online stores, business card sites, etc. There are a huge number of editions of this software product, but they are all designed for one purpose - creating a website and its further maintenance (filling, editing, etc.).

Initially, Bitrix was created as an engine (CMS) for creating online stores, and therefore Site Management has a very wide range of capabilities and rich functionality. On the other hand, all the rich capabilities of this engine are rarely used. It is rare to see several catalogs on a Bitrix website; marketing opportunities are practically not used, since most online stores do not need all these functions, but they are still included among the capabilities of the software product and, if the need arises, they can be connected at any time.

When creating an online store using the Site Management product, you must:

  1. Install the “engine” itself on the hosting;
  2. Set up a design, set up information pages;
  3. Set up a product catalog and cart management (checkout);
  4. If necessary, connect payment systems, data exchange with an accounting program, etc.
Most of the functionality that may be required to implement any type of online trading is already included in the “Site Management” product, but you can also use your own developments or buy solutions from MarketPlace.

Important! System "1C-Bitrix. Site Management" requires a wide range of hosting capabilities; some hosting companies even introduce special tariff plans for “online stores on Bitrix”, this is important to remember when choosing hosting and calculating the cost of website support.

1C-Bitrix: Corporate portal
An enterprise portal is, in general, a web interface for employee access to corporate data and applications. Wikipedia

1C-Bitrix: A corporate portal is a kind of platform where information is collected, the company’s information center. This is a multifunctional product where you can combine information in a variety of areas. For example, a company maintains accounting data in 1C. Accounting, movement of goods through warehouses and sales - in 1C. Trade and warehouse, work with potential and real clients - in a CRM system, technical support is provided in a specialized customer support service.

A corporate portal allows you to manage all these areas in one place, collect data for management reporting, and get an overall detailed picture of the company’s work from different points of view. In some ways, the Bitrix corporate portal is reminiscent of a Swiss knife: this tool has no specialization, but with its help you can perform a variety of actions, since the product contains tools for working with clients, users, and much more, albeit at a minimum level.

1C-Bitrix: The corporate portal is also positioned as a product that allows the manager to control the entire work process of the company, for which a variety of reporting is used; the manager can also set functions, for example, the start and end of the working day, set tasks (projects) for departments, set for them the timing and main stages of implementation. Also, a CRM system, telephony, accounting, accounting programs, etc. can be integrated with the portal.

There are two products from Bitrix designed for corporate work:

  • Bitrix24 is a SAAS solution where you pay for access to the cloud service. Here you do not need to pay for your own hosting and specialist services; all service updates will be available to you without any action on your part. But at the same time, you will be able to use only the functionality that the developer offers, as well as solutions from MarketPlace. Custom modifications are not possible in Bitrix24.
  • A corporate portal is a software product with open source code for customers, which must be installed on your own hosting after purchase. You will need to make all settings for this software product yourself. To receive updates, you will need to download them and install them yourself. But at the same time, your specialists have access to all functions of the software product and any modifications will be available to you.
Industry solutions
Specialized industry solutions are a “Site Management” system with all the functions available in the basic version, supplemented by pre-installed add-ons for organizing work in a particular industry. For example, such solutions are very popular for organizing work medical institutions, budgetary organizations, educational institutions etc.

There are already special questionnaires for creating a patient’s medical record or registering an entrepreneur, tax payer, future property owner, etc. etc. Options for the sequence of actions when making an appointment with a specialist, paying state fees, invoices for services, as well as other modules necessary to create a convenient website for a particular industry have been implemented.

1C-Bitrix: Enterprise
This solution, designed for large and complex projects, is sold at very high price(from RUB 1,499,900) Bitrix positions this product as a solution for companies ready to make the most of the opportunities of the Internet and e-commerce. The product includes all existing modules and add-ons and the implementation of the most diverse capabilities that you can imagine. The developers claim that the product, along with a huge number of capabilities, also has an incredible degree of scalability and flexibility and guarantees extended technical support.

Whether it is worth using such an expensive and powerful product is up to you to decide. Some large ones retail chains successfully work with this solution, others prefer to implement the work based on the usual “Site Management” functionality. It all depends on the scale of the project and the demand for the wide range of features that developers offer for the price indicated above.

A few words about MarketPlace

If you wish, you can also buy or download ready-made solutions for any of the software products through your own application store 1C-Bitrix MarketPlace. There are a lot of different templates, solutions for integration with various software products and systems, and additional modules for implementing a variety of functions. These solutions also come as open source, i.e. If desired, they can be modified to suit your own needs. But it is important to understand that after making any changes to the code, technical support for these solutions is not provided.
Important: the Bitrix core, like the 1C core, also needs to be updated regularly. Although these updates are not as critical as for 1C software products, they also have their own nuances.

When updating the core of a software product, any add-ons and applications from the MarketPlace may stop working, and therefore, after the update, you will need to re-test these features and, if necessary, download and install updates for them separately. Also, the update becomes unavailable or problematic if changes are made to the software product code.

A composite site is another technology that is actively promoted by 1C-Bitrix developers. They position composite sites as an opportunity to combine high loading speeds with all the features of a modern, dynamic site.
How does this work:
  1. Site pages are divided into static and dynamic parts.
  2. To quickly display the static part, caching is actively used.
  3. The system loads the dynamic part in the background and also caches it in the browser.
Active use of caching allows you to reduce the amount of information that the site sends to the user each time the site is accessed again.

Those. When you first access the composite site, the page loads normally
A call is made from the user's browser to the hosting site. The site generates a response, i.e. a full page along with all the images and other types of content. The user waits for all the information to be downloaded to the computer and sees a full page.

Composite sites then store most of the page (images, videos, other static information) in the system cache. And when accessing again, the presence of a copy of the static part of the page in the cache is taken into account, and therefore only the dynamic part is generated and transmitted, the rest is loaded from the cache. Due to this, the download speed increases significantly.

Usability of 1C-Bitrix products

The usability of Bitrix software products is very unique. Initially, the Bitrix developers used a special approach for their CMS, which in many ways did not coincide with other popular website content management systems. The number of features included in Bitrix software products is very large and increases even more with each release. And if many other CMSs are designed according to the principle of having a small and relatively simple core to which you can connect a wide variety of solutions as needed, Bitrix is ​​trying to put “everything at once” into the software product.

As a result, there is a phenomenon called overcoding; in 1C-Bitrix software solutions there is too much code and capabilities that are most often not used. This, in turn, leads to increased complexity of the entire system. As a result, not only users, but very often even programmers find it difficult to understand the usability of software products and understand where each feature is configured. Unfortunately, this drawback is the downside of powerful and multifunctional solutions, which is important to consider when choosing a product for creating a website or corporate (collaboration) work.

Resume

1C-Bitrix software products are very powerful modern instruments for creating websites, corporate portals and mobile applications. But we must understand that these technologies are only one of the solutions available on the modern market. Bitrix has a high entry rate and certain specifics. Therefore, before deciding to use a particular software product, it is very important to familiarize yourself with the various offers on the market, as well as consult with specialists.

Among the advantages, in addition to the opportunities listed above, it is also worth noting that the software products and all documentation are in Russian, as well as the presence of many partner solutions for integrating Bitrix with other systems.

The disadvantages are the complexity of the software products for users (administrating websites on their own is difficult, and setting up without the help of specialists is almost impossible), as well as not the most affordable price.

Whether or not to work with these software solutions is everyone’s personal choice. I believe that even for integration with 1C, the use of Bitrix is ​​not necessary; there are other methods for organizing data exchange. On the other hand, for complex and large projects, this powerful system with extensive capabilities can be a suitable solution.

Brief history of origin

The Bitrix company was founded back in 1998. The development of the “Rental Stores” and “Info Portal” products gradually began. Work has also begun on creating a website management system.

For several years in a row, the world has seen a number of versions of the Site Management platform. By 2004 affiliate network Bitrix already included over fifty companies. At the same time, the CMS gained compatibility with the 1C system, which expanded its scope of application.

In 2005, sales of the boxed version of “Site Management” began in retail networks. The number of projects based on the platform grew rapidly. A year later, the first version of the “Corporate Portal” was released, jointly developed with QSOFT.

The joint company 1C Bitrix was created in 2007. After this, complete integration of Bitrix and 1C software was carried out.

The active development of several areas has begun, making Bitrix products suitable for solving most problems when creating web projects.

Who is 1C Bitrix products suitable for?

1C Bitrix products are a practical and universal option for small and medium businesses. For selling goods and services online, an online store on 1C Bitrix is ​​an excellent option.

They are also used in government institutions and the field of education. Bitrix-based portals are owned by large organizations and enterprises.

The presence of different versions and editions of proprietary developments allows you to choose best option for any task.

Using 1C Bitrix tools, you can implement the most efficient, modern and high-quality portal with a minimum of investment.

A properly implemented project will become an important functional link in the overall corporate infrastructure.

Advantages of CMS 1C Bitrix

The 1C Bitrix platform has many advantages, including:

  • Security and burglary resistance. The developers offer a powerful firewall that protects the site without the participation of an administrator. The protection works on the principle of an antivirus and becomes more reliable with each update.
  • Stable technical support. Experienced consultants will be able to answer all questions that arise and help resolve problems.
  • Automatic updates. The administrator only needs to download the necessary modules, and the system will perform further operations itself.
  • Site backups. To create them, no special knowledge is required, because you just need to click on the appropriate button, after which a copy will be automatically saved to the Bitrix server or cloud. You can restore your site in one click.
  • Scalability. As the project develops and its functionality expands, you won’t have to create a new site or transfer it every time. 1C Bitrix allows you to gradually increase the complexity of a project by moving to a new level on the same hosting.
  • Standardization. 1C Bitrix supports continuity and typicality of solutions, due to which there is no connection to a specific studio or developer.
  • Large selection of templates. Allows you to create websites that meet all the necessary requirements without spending a lot of money and time on its development.

Conclusions

1C Bitrix is ​​a universal and practical solution with clear logic and structure. Developers are constantly improving their products and simplifying the user part as much as possible, making learning and working with the system more enjoyable.
