I believe Adobe BC is a real threat to Joomla. If you read my friend's email, you DO have control over the design (she's a graphic artist), the ecommerce has all the bells, whistles and functionality you could want, and you can *easily* build any component you need.
I think one of the biggest hassles with Joomla is keeping up with all the 3rd party component upgrades. ________________________________ From: Stephen Britton <[email protected]> To: NYPHP SIG: Joomla <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, December 15, 2010 10:12:29 AM Subject: Re: [joomla] BC vs. Joomla How much does BC cost per month? I am also wondering if it is anything like Yahoo Stores, which I find confusing, difficult to design and program, and uses code that is not search engine friendly. The thing that scares me about these software as a service (SOS) e-commerce programs is you don't have control over the design and other features, like being able to connect to certain payment gateways. Also, what happens if the client wants features like forums and galleries? I personally would stick to Joomla! with Tienda.
