Two things..
1. I don't think you need Joomla for your particular site.. You really can do EVERYTHING you are trying to do in ZenCart. You can use the defined pages and EZ pages to create all of the "non shopping" content.
2. Go back and look at the link I posted (it's on page 14). IF you decide to go with Joomla (a step I don't think you need to do), you don't HAVE to use VirtueMart. The link I posted is a Joomla main site with a ZenCart for shopping.. I used THIS template contrib to tie both together esthetically.


Now that said, (and please do not take this the wrong way) I gather that you are not very experienced with HTML and such (hence the need for the WYSIWYG tool) this is not a slam.. just an observation.. If you are at the level skill wise that I think you are at, combining Joomla with ZenCart is a LOT of work, and you are gonna have to have some GOOD understanding/experience with CSS to make it LOOK & feel seemless.. That said I had a few tricky areas on my site where I that I had to turn to greater CSS experts for help..

IMO you should REALLY give a looksee at doing your entire site in ZenCart.. I've seen NOTHING in your current site that gives me the sense that this is not a viable solution..
My thoughts ogie are that you dont need to use any additional CMS's on top of your zen cart ezpages will allow you you keep its all running the same. stuff w/o having the trouble of having to learn one more programs interface.
