Just after some advice: I need to build a webstore that has a large amount of CMS features.

I was thinking about using OpenCart in parallel with a CMS like WordPress or ModX, but things might get a little messy. I am wondering, if Magento has the ability to provide decent CMS features.

What I would need, along side the store, is:

  • a blog
  • an image gallery (upload images not related to products)
  • news page with individual news articles
  • ability to create an infinite number of other regular pages

Would Magento be ok to use for this?

Or am I better off using a split CMS/e-store system?

Any advice is appreciated!

    Yes, you can use Magento’s CMS pages in your site but if you have a lot of them I wouldn’t go that route myself – particularly if you are letting the client loose on them, I personally don’t like the Magento WYSIWYG editor much and tend to disable it on all my sites and just use HTML for the CMS pages.

    Edit

    Coming back to this years later. I still do this now, using WordPress for the CMS content. You can see this link for the nest way to integrate the two in my opinion;
