Hi Greg,
It`s kinda blatant, but I can recommend my studio. My link is in the signature.

As far as free software, I would recommend Magentocommerce.com

Hey Dan, link that you gave has a referral code, no wonder you`re raving about this web site which by the way looks like piece of sh!t. If this is as much design you can get using this site, then it`s not worth the $200 you spend.  

re: xsitepro - agreed, stop hawking affiliate links, and if the site itself is the best they can do, move on folks, nothing here to see.

magento - amazing ecommerce package, but not for this thread owner - he`s not ready or skilled enough. I`m not throwing rocks, simply reading posts and questions, and can say it would be overkill for him to try it. Same with Zen.

shopify - hosted service, not software. You don`t have to install anything, just sign up, pick a template, and off you go.  Later, you want a customized theme (look)? That could be done by someone with CSS (cascading Style Sheet) knowledge and graphic/web design ability.

change of thread topic - see, you started out asking about an ecommerce site, which shopify will do. then you `oh by the way` the topic and suddenly need forums, blogs, etc. 

it`s usually a good idea to list ALL your requirements up front, so that the good people answering your questions (for free) can at least know what to answer.

I still stand by the shopify answer, with an addendum - I have seen many a shopify site integrated into a hosted website, by using the same theme, adding all the non-ecommerce features to the hosted site, and the `shop` (or whatever) link takes one to the shopify solution. (and on shopify, all the non-shop links lead back to the hosted website). Same theme/look means a virtually seamless transition.

Definately ZenCart. We`ve used if for many clients.

I vote for symfony framework.
