NYCPHP Meetup

[Herbert M. Tucker]

Hi Norman and Donna,
Thanks for helping out. This is a big decision and I'm looking to get as
much info to make as wise a decision as I can.
@ Norman:  I've did a fairly quick look at the Magento site and their
version comparison table doesn't really tell me what their community version
does have but rather what it doesn't in comparison with their licensed
products, which isn't a viable option for this project (seems like all
projects anymore are done on the cheap). 
Does the community version of Magento provide all the features listed at
http://www.magentocommerce.com/product/features ?

@ Donna: I'll check those solutions out. I looked at the Adobe store front
for this client but the fee structure wasn't very appealing to him.

Godspeed!
Herb

Magento is by far a more complete solution for that many items. You can get
away with zen-cart or oscommerce, but you will be modifying the heck out of
it to get to where magento starts.

For the money/time you spend configuring and maintaining, I would use a
hosted solution like Ecwid or Big Commerce. RocketTheme has an Ecwid
