Primary link - http://www.opencart.com/
Templates - available ( free also) but not in large numbers
plugins /addons - available (free also ) but not in large numbers

Open cart is framework which enable us to create e-commerce site in few minutes. When first time i installed opencart i am very excited about its look. The site it will create is fantastic looks and colors every thing is just great. I don't even want to enable paypal option it is enabled. So i can say it is truely readymade e-commerce framework of php.


You can see how good it home page. It looks very good when you hear that it comes after my 10 min effort. Everything is ok here and ready to work.

However it looks great in its home page but it admin page or control panel is not so good they are only try to give you features and they don't bother about look of admin panel . Color combination is also not good or i may say bad color combination. If you can ignore its looks then it is very good or i can say excellent framework.

Score - 9/10

Note - sorry but 1 point i have dedected because of it bad look in admin panel.

plugins - only few plugins are available only

Seagul is good php framework with excellent graphics .It color combination is excellent . It has so many option for content management and updation. But i am not advice you to use this framework unless you are expert in framework installation. Its navigation in the admin panel is like joomla . several time user ask from me "i want this thing on that corner where do i update" . So in simple way it installation and navigation both is complex. But if you are experienced user than you should use this seagull framework.

Seagull's admin panel . Large number of option easily confuse new user but give several options that you want in your application.

Seagull site's front page. Sleak and excellent color combination. Lots of options available.
