    Hey guys. I've been looking over the internet for a good CMS regarding an online shop. Now, I've heard only good things about both of them. If you have any experience with one or the other, or maybe both, please share some insights :)

    I'm only interested about functionalities, if it's hard or easy to skin them and so on. I won't be making online transactions, it will be more of a exhibition store.

    Ive tried both opencart and zencart.
    Zencart was cluncky, and opencart was smooth.

    I was surprised by how good the coding of the cms was.
    It has a smart and flexible template system, it is lightweight, and has a very intuitive back-end.
    It also uses the MVC programming pattern(dont let you turn that off, it makes things much easier).

    If I was to compare it to anything, I would say it is the ecommerce equilant to wordpress.

    Cant wait to get back into it. In fact, give me a pm if you choose Opencart, I could probably help you :)

    Ive heard good things about Magento aswell.
