best CMS for ecommerce website

  • looking for to decide on a CMS that will be best for an ecommerce website. have recently used joomla for one of my projects, but now i have to work on a project which is totally a ecommerce website. so, i've been looking into opencart, prestashop, magento, wordpress and joomla. among these, which one would you prefer would be the best solution and can be easy to edit (template).

    i am really good with jooma and i am learning the rest, so also if anyone knows good tutorials for opencart, magento and prestashop please help !

    thanks for help.
  • thanks a lot ! but they only themes, i will be creating custom designs according to the client. so,was looking for an alternative to joomla.

    which one among the one listed above would you prefer ?
  • I'm really starting to enjoy working with Shopify, though it'd be another new language for you to learn (though it's pretty simple).
  • @TheDoc : i've seen it before, a friend of mine has worked on it ! even he said its really easy, but isin't it a hosted e-commerce solution where you have to pay them !

    i am looking for something that is open source.
  • It's really according to how many items you are planning to sell. Magento works great for a large store but for fewer items I would recommend wordpress with an eCommerce plugin.
