title: Scalable and flexible framework for e commerce website based on PHP or Django
body: <p>I have to build an <strong>e commerce website</strong> that aims to target very heavy traffic 2 to 3 years down the lane. I am comfortable with <strong>PHP or Python</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know what would be the best framework that I should use? Which solution would offer the scalability and ease of development? Moreover I would like the framework to be totally <strong>customizable</strong>. I have looked at various frameworks such as Magneto, OpenCart, PrestaShop, zen cart and loads of more. But frankly I can't understand well enough any of them until I dwell into the development.</p>
  
  <p>But I cannot afford to waste time by experimenting with these solutions. I would like to know whether I should go for any framework at all?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is really appreciated.</p>
