20 days seems awfully ambitious, does your professor expect you to code
these by hand or are you allowed to use an existing CMS, I ask because
your original question seemed a bit odd.

For e-commerce you're better off choosing a CMS which does that out of
the box. Joomla has plugins that allow you to do these things, but it
can be a hefty CMS, and it's not particularly suited for shops, plus it
has a bit of a learning curve and some large security holes (which I
know first hand having had to just get a Joomla site to pass a rigorous
security test)

Lastly, please try not to top post :)

Thanks,
Ash
