Choosing a CMS for a small online store?
Hello.
I've been reading information about different cms for 2 days and I just can't decide, help me.
For a quick start, I made a store on insales www.ekamin24.ru/, the site worked a little and it became clear that it was difficult for customers to navigate it, it was decided to remove popular products on the main page and instead make product categories with pictures and a small description, something like here www.electricfireplacesdirect.com/Dimplex-Electric-...
Insales asked 4,000 rubles for this. There was an option to buy a suitable design for shopify and install it on insales, I thought it would be easy, but insales said that the template adaptation would cost from 40,000. After that, I began to look at other cms.
What I want from the site:
1) The ability to make categories with pictures and a small description on the main page instead of popular products, or some other convenient option for customers.
2) Convenient and cute product filter system. We need filters by hearth, color, material and price (it doesn't look nice on insales) www.ekamin24.ru/collection/kaminokomplekty-dimplex...
3) Ability to buy a modern template for about $100
4) Ability to "shove" on the main blocks in the benefits.
5) Simplicity. I don't know any programming languages and I'm not ready to invest in programmers at this stage, I'm ready to invest only after the site starts making money. I should be able to edit the site myself and change or add something to it if necessary.
6) There will be 200-300 goods
7) Simple ordering without the mandatory entry of email
8) Integration with Yandex market, payment systems, integration with courier services is desirable. Possibility to add other useful modules.
9) Preferably, when choosing the property "color" in the product, the picture with the color I needed changed.
10) The ability to import products using excel
At the moment I have selected several options:
1) Cs-cart. A convenient way to "drag and drop" blocks. You can buy a good design template for under $100. Very functional, would choose it, but not ready to pay 20k for cms at this stage. They have a free version, but I can't figure out if I can make a store with the features that I need at the moment on the free plan. In the future, I will be willing to buy their paid version if the site makes money.
2) Shop-script 5. They have a tariff for 599 rubles per month. Looks very functional, they claim to be number 1 in terms of features. I especially liked the features: changing the picture when choosing a color in a product, a built-in automatic function for suggesting similar products, popular products, and products that a given customer is likely to buy with this product based on store statistics, beautiful and convenient product filters. At the bottom of the page are viewed products, products added for comparison and favorite products. In addition, Enter was created on this engine, which also speaks in its favor. I really like this option in terms of functions, but I read bad reviews about it and for it paid templates are inferior to paid cs-cart and open cart templates. I didn’t understand how to change the design myself or add categories in the form of pictures on the main page in this cms,
3) Opencart. As far as I understand, the most crude cms of the ones I have chosen, but everything can be completed with modules. On the plus side, this system is completely free. I really liked the design of the paid template journal.digital-atelier.com/3 for only $48 with a lot of additional modules, but the template is foreign, you will have to spend a lot of time reworking it, although there is free time for this. Of the minuses, I noticed that I would have to put down numbers for sorting goods for categories and goods, which is not convenient, it would be much more convenient to simply move them through the list of goods, and not go into each product and change the number. I haven’t figured it out yet, if you choose this cms, is it better to choose opencart 2.0 or ocstore 1.5?
4) Insales with shopify template. Is it possible to find a programmer who can remake the shopify template for insales for 5000r?
Help me choose cms for my needs. Can you recommend some other cms.

Thank you.
Most advise Wordpress + Woocommerce because it is the easiest for a beginner or is it also not inferior to the cms I described in terms of functionality?
