We have to develop an Ecommerce site with 20+ pages of static content which needs a CMS and a store or 30+ products. We use Magento or Cubecart for Ecommerce and Wordpress or Joomla for CMS sites.
Which has the best of both worlds - a good CMS with Store management? I am not sure if a Wordpress CMS site with an Shopping cart plugin will be a scalable solution.. Any advice?

Proprietary, or closed source, content management systems are owned and developed by individuals where code is private and cannot be modified. The development company owns the software and sells or licenses it out for others to use for their websites.
No, Shopify is not an open source CMS. While it offers users an impressive amount of control over their stores' designs and functionality, they do not have access to the source code. This may be seen as a drawback by those who want complete freedom when building their online presence, but it also has its advantages.
WordPress.org is a free open source CMS originally designed for blogging, but now it's used by all sorts of websites / online stores. WordPress.com is a blog hosting platform.
I would use Magento, it is based on the Zend Framework and it is the best PHP solution, well documented, OO.

I'm a big fan of Drupal for a full-featured CMS, and though it has a bit of learning curve, it's worth it for its flexibility and power. Its e-Commerce module is excellent as well, and integrates nicely to create online stores. Both are totally free, open-source goodness, with a large, supportive community.
