cart shop, forum and blog as one solution

Hi,

I've got a potential client and potential problem. The client wants a
website based on CMS with forum, blog and cart solution. Here's the
problem.

I could offer him:

- website based on CMS, e.g. joomla
- blog based on wordpress
- forum based on vBulletin
- and shop cart based e.g. on cubecart

The problem is I don't know ( and I assume it's rather not possible )
to integrate all of them into one website with the same look ( which
the client could stomach ) and, what's the most important, the same
login and password for the user who could access forum, blog and cart
shop.

Is there any solution or any way to integrate all of the requirements
into one?

...or bespoke solution is the only option?

Cheers,
Richard

Take a look at Drupal:

http://drupal.org/

CMS, blogs, and forums will be there by default. Shopping cart
won't, so you'll have to get a third-party extension (there are
several).

On a second thought, you might be able to do this in Joomla!, too;
blog functionality is already present, while forums and e-commerce
could be implemented with available extensions...

Thanks NC for your suggestions.

I was thinking about Joomla. The only contern I have that e-carts for
Joomla aren't very professional.

Well, that's where your software development skills come in. Take the
shopping cart extension that has the most of what you want and enhance
it...
