Site Profile

Description: Silk Plants Direct is an e-commerce shop which offers high quality silk plants, silk trees, artificial flowers, silk floral arrangements and much more that will decorate your home or office interiors as well as exteriors.Case Study: Silkplantsdirect.com was created using Joomla 1.5 and incorporates VirtueMart 1.1.4 due to the large amount of silk plants and trees inventory. While creating the site, our entire focus was on providing the customers an enhanced as well as an effortless shopping experience just a few clicks away.

Each and every product of silkplantsdirect.com is backed by exclusive information as well as 150 x 150 thumbnail image for a realistic shopping experience. Aligning the images as well as contents of thousands of elite silk plants and trees was an exigent job. The site faced the challenge from SEO scenario due to its huge size and thus the product names and category names were introduced in H1. The site also makes use of sh404SEF to boost user-friendliness.

Calculating taxation on the basis of zip codes (US) as well as integration of Moneris (payment gateway) was yet another challenge. The coding of both these extensions to VirtueMart was done and used effectively.

Combining Joomla and VirtueMart, silkplantsdirect.com has evolved well and all the further developments will be based on this platform.

Great Layout with a Large Selection of Silk Plants

I thought given the huge selection of silk trees, plants & flowers the site did a wonderful job of organizing this large amount of information. I would be interested in learning more about how Joomla could allow a user to compare artificial plants.
