Most scalable, fast web-framework (or CMS) for e-commerce?

[OP AlecTaylor 0]

Good afternoon,

I'm building an e-commerce site. I'm looking for a web-framework or CMS [any language] which covers the following requirements:

• Scalable: For up to 1000 separate online shops in the one website directory
  
• Fast: In comparison with other frameworks or CMSs (in terms of load speed, caching, transaction time)
  
• Interoperable: Must be built on web standards (not limited to one browser or OS... mobile accessibility also required)
  
• Quick development time: Looking for something which already has the components, and I just need to link them with minimal custom code (i.e. this is the case with DJango)
  
• Free and locally hostable
  

Please recommend some good ones.

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

Heard nothing but good things about open cart:

http://www.opencart.com/

Dunno if it will be 100% suitable.

Drupal + ubercart (http://www.ubercart.org/) is also popular. I'd use Drupal 6 over 7 at the moment.

When I think on frameworks and confidence.building software solution I take a really a good look on the use and experience the software have.

Wordpress and WP e Commerce would do a good job on your needed solution features.

BTW, If you interesed in good scalable themes for this configuration, go to storefrontthemes.com. They have a really good quality themes.

Here is my affiliate link. I earn money from visitors buying themes on the site: http://storefrontthe...ap_id=pulgafree

Good luck.
