Magento is a feature-rich eCommerce solution offering flexability and control over the look, content, and functionality of an online store. When we say feature-rich, we don’t mean that guy that lives in the neighborhood over kind of rich, we’re talking Saudi Princes sitting on billions of barrels of oil rich (Maybe it’s a horrible anology, but you get the point).

Claiming the title “fastest growing eCommerce platform on the market”, and with over 400,000 downloads we believe it too, Magento quickly turned heads.

Magento empowers you to manage unlimited categories and products, multilingual support, 100% customizable theming, one-click upgrades, content management for static pages, integration with every major (and some minor) payment gateways, SSL on front and back end, coupons, search engine friendly URLs, guest or member checkouts, wishlists, product tagging and much much more.

For the designer, Magento has a straightfoward step-by-step tutorial on building your own theme.

With a very impressive demo and very intelligent screenshots, it’s clear that osCommerce is being replaced as the open source solution to eCommerce.

Whether you’re selling products from your local store or attic, or you’re running your own multi-million dollar a year e-business, Magento could be the open source solution you’ve been waiting for.
