    Multisite deployment

    Hello everybody,

    I am thinking of how to launch multiple sites with ecommerce.

    Is it good idea to use lets say Drupal with ubercart? I know it can be done but not sure on resources etc.

    Regarding resources and load, is it better to have static websites Launched individually with a shopping cart as a link within the website? can this be done automatically?

    Please state you opinion and mostly your experience.

    thank you

    If you can find something that will run multi-store then that would be better in the long term. As you mention, Drupy wil do it, and I'm also led to believe that Magento will too.

    Hi Losvre

    Am 100% sure Magento will run multi-store Ecommerce. So you can manage a lot of different shops, on unique domains, from one admin panel.

    Some CMS will run it, Expression Engine is one. And Drupal like we've already mentioned.

    Apart from these few you have to look to bespoke solutions.

    I know the guys at Webnetism - they have a multi-store ASP.net Ecommerce and CMS system - and really nice it is too. Custom system though, and has costs associated with it at a high level.

    We sometimes use a system from White Box Solutions. They have a multi-store Ecommerce system running on ASP Classic. It's not free though, cost is something like in the region of £2K just to even get the code, before you've done any mods and custom programming in there. Some of their clients run 30 stores on one admin panel. So all the orders come through to one master admin panel, and there's a flag in there that tells them which store the sales was made. It prints out unique invoices too.

    The idea is that you build one master store, and then build niche stores - focussing on specific product categories. Good for SEO

    Hello again,

    I know that Drupal can be a bit heavy on resources.

    What do you think about typolight and Modx. Which would suit best for a multi-site and/or multi-store deployment?

    Many thanks
