[eCommerce Script] TomatoCart - A First Look Review
superboyac:
I've been playing around with tomatocart the last couple of days, and it really is a great piece of software. It's so nice, I was wondering if it could be used as a basic CMS tool. Meaning, I could remove all the shopping cart stuff, and simply use its basic article tools. I think that could work. We'll see.
But as for an ecommerce website, this is looking like a fantastic tool. Finally! Thanks Stephen.
JavaJones:
Surely there are other more appropriate simple CMS tools for basic article-driven websites? Heck even Wordpress might be better...

I've used Wordpress extensively. My problem with Wordpress is that it is fundamentally driven by the blog format, which really just means it's governed by chronological order. It takes a lot to organize your content in any other way other than chronologically. And I hate that.
JavaJones:
Fair point. But likewise with Tomato you're basically having to work to turn off all the stuff it's fundamentally designed for (e-commerce) so you can take advantage of one small part of it. Instead I'd recommend checking out SilverStripe or Concrete5 for a good, simple, super easy to manage CMS with a lot more flexibility.

I'll take a look at those. Ive been meaning to try Silverstripe, anyway. Thanks.
