Dev Hypothetical

    Pure hypothetical here. A bloke I used to work with is looking at to starting a niche web development business. He's more a marketing/PM guy.

    The business will target a particular industry and will need a web CMS with a database that can integrate with an online store, inventory management and email marketing.

    He has no real preference in terms of the platform it is developed on, but wants it to be extremely easy to use from the admin's perspective - eg, the CMS should be 'Wordpress-like' in its simplicity but have enough grunt.

    Not looking for opinions as to whether this will work or not - he wants to do it and has some cash to hire staff - he's just interested in opinions as to what might be a good platform with ready access to developers.

    It's not really my area so any advice welcome.
