I agree. I have come to the same conclusion that going with a PHP based solutions is the best option. In fact, right now, I don't have the time to learn a new platform as well.
That said, I've started thinking on a different line since I posted this question. Instead of going with a CMS or a framework, I think it will be much easier and quicker to go with a dedicated E-Commerce application like Opencart, ZenCart etc.
- thinkalone 16y agoIf your main focus will be the online store, I'd definitely suggest going with an e-commerce app to keep things simple, but did you look into Drupal + Ubercart (http://drupal.org/project/ubercart http://drupal.org/project/ubercart)? If your needs extend beyond just the online store, that may be a good solution. Also, Magento (http://www.magentocommerce.com http://www.magentocommerce.com) has a free community edition and may also work - just adding it to your list of possibilities! :)
- aj 16y agoI did consider Ubercart but found it quite lacking in features. It is more of a ... addon... than a dedicated E-Commerce app. I've been reading up on Magento and found quite a bit of negative issues about it - regarding speed, support and documentation. Also, it is supposed to be a pain to extend or modify.
