Nilead (from Nil to Lead)

The official Nilead repository. Symfony2 based shopping cart system.

Nilead is a shopping cart system built on our 5+ years of experience working with Zencart, Magento and a number of other open-source shopping cart systems.

Nilead is built for:

1. Small, medium businesses who need ecommerce system that is designed for normal (non-geek) users and just work.
2. Enterprises that need an extendable ecommerce system.

Nilead is built to:

Nilead concentrates on User Experience, we want to build a shopping cart system for the mass.

Nilead is inspired by other prjects:

1. Shopify: for its business model, simple and user friendly design
2. Sylius: for its usage of Symfony2 as its core, and for many parts of its implementation of the cart system

3. Spree: for its carefully crafted database design and program flow 3. Zencart, Magento, Prestashop, OpenCart, ... and many more

Why Nilead?

Nilead does not aim to be a do-it-all ecommerce system, our first and foremost target users are small and medium businesses who:

1. May not have experience with ecommerce
2. May not afford to have in-house IT team
3. May not afford the time and cost to learn a complicated system with so many features that may not be helpful for the current business
