Just launched CarGear.com using NOPCommerce
NopCommerce (www.nopcommerce.com) is the closest thing to Magento except that it runs on Microsoft’s .NET instead of the LAMP stack. It’s still a long way to go for NOP to catch up with where Magento is at, but if you have used Magento, you will see A LOT of similarities in NOP, as I have a feeling that the developer behind NOP based its implementation off of Magento. NOP will be strictly for the developers using Microsoft Technology (C#, ASP.NET, MS SQL 2005, IIS), if you can go either way, PHP or .NET, I suggest you go with Magento, simply because it’s more mature and has a whole lot of plugins ready for use.
That being said, the reason why I built CarGear.com using NOPCommerce, is specifically for the reason mentioned above, I needed to build this project using Microsoft technology simply because my technical resources for this project is more versed in .NET than PHP. A secondary reason would be the fact that since NOP is less mature, it has a more raw framework to build stuff on top of it.
CarGear.com sells auto parts, collision replacement parts, and everything else you can think of that deals with cars.
All feedback welcomed.
