Which engine to choose for an online store blog?

Question

Online shopping

Greetings!
There is a store with goods for hobbies, the engine is OpenCart.
We added an SEO CMS module to expand the functionality of the store and use it for a blog.
But, the blog page now looks as miserable as possible: joxi.ru/zANBB9YUlZ3WPA?d=1
For each "Wishlist" now you have to look for a layout designer, throw out good money for this story.
We are tired of such hemorrhoids, we are considering the option of setting up a blog on a different engine:
Aegea or WordPress. The blog format of the author of Egea is very attractive: https://ilyabirman.ru/projects/
It is readable, structured, and simple in appearance.
In addition to the direct task that our blog faces, we also need the ability to place mini-cards of the product / related products in blog posts.
I would like to hear your ideas and thoughts about such a "symbiosis" of opencart with a third-party engine.

Bro, install the opencart.cms or opencart.pro assembly and use both the store and the embedded blog to the fullest. Here and related products to articles and blog headings, and all sorts of other cute things.
Or you can put a template from Katalina, it has great usability, template management and also a blog module.
In both cases, the blogs function perfectly and look crisp.
