What platform to build from?

Hello Everyone,

I really need help. I am beginning to build a commerce site similar to that of artscyclery.com but for a different sport.

Where do I begin with the front end & backend?

I'm trying to decide between Shopify, OScommerce, Magento, or Volusion.

Any tips on which one to choose or an alternate option?

Thank you, your help is deeply appreciated!

Whatever you decide is the easiest to use for YOUR purposes.

What any of us find the best for any particular solution may not suit what you need.

Volusion definitely isn't

Magento has a OS "Community" edition

Shopify is a "hosted solution"

So the only true open source one is, (as the name implies; )

open
source
Commerce

I'd suggest Joomla with Virtuemart. That is a good opensource solution. Another is wordpress with a number of different plugins.

Hello. I would suggest you to use wordpress. It’s a great decision in your case. Also, you can try Joomla. Another variant is Volusion or Virtuemart. It provides a really good support every time and there you can find very easy in use tools. One of this platforms will definitely help you to build successful e-commerce site.
