Hello,

I will build a new e commerce site, which will be quite large: over 30,000 products in less than one year more than 1,000 orders a day.

I worry about the performance, and maybe it’s enough to have a dedicated server big enough for that.

Initially, he planned to do with the template ja_orisite (virtuemart v.2).

Does anyone know a store of this size?

Another option is to use magento.

Are there any special discount on the magento templates for JA developer members?

Thank you very much and greetings

This depends on your specific needs.

If you have a large commercial e-Commerce site to build then Magento is for you, and if the client can afford it the Enterprise model is not expensive for what you’re getting.

However, if you are building an e-Commerce site for a small/medium client then I would have to say go with VirtueMart + Joomla.

Both systems will do 90% of the requirements for 90% of businesses.

Magento will do that little bit more, but it is more complex and requires more knowledge.

Both systems also have a large development community.

Performance of the site is subjected to your server, the template itself won’t affect to the performance.

Here are several resources I found via a simple “Joomla v Magento” Google search . . .
