Magento Beta Released
The open source e-commerce platform Magento has just been released.? It isn't ready yet for commercial use...but there is something to download and play with.
I've been looking for a while for a good e-commerce platform that is relatively easy to theme via CSS. Professional support is mandatory, as is an attractive and easy-to-use UI. SunShop looks very interesting, but they don't offer a downloadable demo - only an online one. I would like to play with it locally on my machine before paying $250 for the license ($550 for the lifetime updates option). They offer support but it is via support points...and I'm not seeing on their website how much this option is.
So what makes Magento very interesting is that not only is it open source, but professional support is available as well. Maybe this is the one...
