Expression Engine is good and reliable... but you got to pay approx 200$

for commercial license. Also, currently EE does not have a full-featured

E-commerce module (just basic paypal.)

The current approach for most EE users is to use something like Cubecart

or Zencart.

<http://www.cubecart.com/site/home/>
<http://zen-cart.com/>

Note: I hear there is a full-featured module being developed for EE... I

hope it comes-out soon... Keep a look-out here:

<http://solspace.com/>

Additionally, I find that EE makes me pull my hair out trying to make 
sure I have all my settings perfected... I think EE is great for folks 
that are not perfectionistic (maybe it is just me) -- I personally spend

way too much time playing with EE settings -- For a couple pro-bono 
projects, I never finished (or switched to an alternative solution) 
partly due to all the "loose ends" that need to be tied in order to get 
EE fully optimized. Additionally, code redundancy is also a problem when

it comes to templates (though, some would say this is a feature of 
EE)... Long story short, overall optimization can be attained, but it 
takes time, especially if you are new to the templating syntax and EE 
workflow.

Do not get me wrong, EE is really nice though -- I would say there are 
many more good aspects than bad (great community support via forums.) 
Also, due to the price, EE is always growing and getting better.

I love Textpattern, but it is lacking in the E-commerce department. Prob

best to get a third party app (i.e. Cubecart/Zencart) for e-commerce 
stuff if using TXP.

Drupal looks a bit too involved -- I enjoy coding, but it looks like if 
you got a quick deadline, and are new to Drupal, then you are SOL for 
quick-turnaround.

I have heard good and bad things about Joomla (I personally never got 
past the installation.) Also, I rarely need a CMS that has everything 
under the sun (this is main reason why I love TXP.)

I have heard Website Baker is good, though never used it... not sure 
about e-commerce, but maybe worth a gander:
<http://start.websitebaker.org/en/introduction.html>

You might want to look at these sites:
<http://www.cmsmatrix.org/>
<http://start.websitebaker.org/en/introduction.html>

Also, the WSG has a WSG-CMS listserv... Might want to ask questions
there.

Just my .0002cents... Good luck!
Cheers,
M
