A good fast CMS for my shop

[MadKad]

Hi

Can you help, I am after a good possible free or really low cost CMS for my selling website.

I need to be able to add different cart options (ie. Credit card, paypal, others)
Add my own style (full template change)
Lots of extras on it that can be added
Extra pages
User accounts
Shipping options
+ more

I have a host, credit card system and other websites, I am getting mine built, but I need this site up with most of my options, its needed as a temporary thing why I finish my full site off.

What is the best out there as its been a while since I looked into it and things have changed a lot since.

Can you help?

thanks

Madcat,

If you already have a payment company go to their site. They will list the carts compatable.

Usually you pick the cart with the requirements you need and find a processing company that supports it. Even cheapo carts support what you listed. One of the most important things (not on your list) is a SEO mod. Then again you can always build html static pages and link into the cart. Getting a gateway written isn't all that big a deal, if you have a decent programmer.

An el cheapo cart I like (partly because the SEO mod is only $20)...lol and does work is http://www.candypress.com/store/scripts/default.asp

Use sql if you have a lots of products and expect a lot of simultanious users, other wise a access db is fine.

Here's an example (just to show the mod works)
- http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...earch&aq=f&oq=

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...earch&aq=f&oq=

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ar&btnG=Search

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ar&btnG=Search

But build a html site around your cart anyway - That was a freebie for a nice lady ...I built the html around it then purchased the $20 seo mod when she could afford it.......lol


Good luck
