Solution for Clothes Store with CMS

Discussion in 'eCommerce' started by rockinaway, Jun 1, 2010.

    I am not sure which software (must be free) to go for which can be styled well, has good features and some sort of cms or page extension (where I can create extra pages like About Us, History etc)

    Any ideas?

    I have been using joomla with virtuemart and it works great. Other one is magento, try to research a little so you can see which of them is better for you.

    CS-Cart does have CMS features along with flexible design customization, we'd appreciate if you could consider it as well.

    Joomla fulfills CMS functions and for e-commerce you can choose Mighty Commerce or virtuemart

    Those on the page directing you to Joomla are giving you good advice. Wordpress is not a CMS, it is a blogging platform. Pick Joomla or even perhaps Drupal. Joomla will have more technical support if you ever need it.

    Hmmm. Did you know that Virtuemart is a featured extension ( LINK ) on Joomla.org ?

    If you want to talk about it PM me, we are getting a bit off topic. The OP wanted a solution and Virtuemart is definitely a valid solution for them.

    I agree Prestashop is screaming fast and very easy to use and style. If you want a really high end enterprise level solution go with Magento. I don't get why folks always rant about Joomla. That stuff is way too hackable and frankly a convoluted trainwreck of bad coding practices. Usability is not something those folks think about. Even the admin panel is a mess.

    PrestaShop is indeed coming on quite strongly. I am now split between PrestaShop and OpenCart.

    You can use a lot of open source described in the previous comments, also you can try a turnkey ecommerce ready to use with a webhosting plan included, with a lot of features and 3 different customization (depend of the size of your next ecommerce)
    You can find more info here: http://bit.ly/bJVVTx
    Hope it works for you, some people I know use it and it works great!
