Grandioso Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 We're currently looking to create a new website for a client who's a major retailer/reseller. They basically want 3 websites: - a retail site, selling directly to customers - a wholesale site, selling to other businesses - a consumer blog They already have a stock control and order management system in place. We're looking for the best solution we can come up with and I thought you guys could give me some ideas. My idea was, since they already have stock control and order management systems, to use a massive Wordpress multisite for all 3 websites, make a plug-in to handle the communication between the site and the SCS. We would also like to implement some features like 'popular items', 'recently viewed', 'sales reports; etc, which WP is not really good for. Any ideas ?

trq Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I would suggest that the best CMS to go with is likely the one you know best. Any CMS is quite capable of the functionality providing they are being setup by a developer in the know. Personally, I would be more inclined to go down the bespoke path, maybe starting with a CMS framework such as Symfony2 CMF. I guess it depends on your time frame and budget though.

annaharris Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If you are planning to develop Big/ Dynamic website then ASP is the best, otherwise you can use PHP.

BradlySpicer Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 You my friend are either misinformed, ignorant or both. I would guess just a spammer, or someone who is just illiterate with terminology.

Grandioso Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I was Googling for a couple of hours and the best solution I could come up with was to either use Drupal, or WP and build the site around them. E-commerce solutions, such as Magento only make sense when they handle the stocks, am I right ? This client already has a stock control in place and they also want to use shopatron, which I understand works as a shopping cart / order manager (?).
