I have recently been added on to a new project. It is an online gallery that uses an external shopping cart for eCommerce (Mals). Their backend system is Movable Type 3.15, so it is really outdated. We want to completely redesign the site, and give it a new backend, but my knowledge is stretching.
My background for the last years was mostly in marketing. I do however have lots of experience with blogging backends, html, css, email marketing, etc. Before signing onto this project, I worked with NetSuite, and that was a headahce.
I need to be able to find a backend system that will be similar to blogging systems, in that it will be template based. I have no problem finding a template, and completely customizing it.
Basically, here is what I am looking for
- Tamplate based
- Blog included or a plugin available
- Easy to create multiple informational pages (no cart)
- Secure cart
- Multiple shipping options
- Accounting tie in would be nice
- CRM would be nice as well
I am looking for suggestions, with examples of stores using the various carts. I have looked into SunShop, Magento, Shopify, Lite Commerce, CRE Loaded. I am looking to pay for a 1 time license with support.
HELP
