Gorgeous website and stunning photography. Great job :-)
Cool list of extensions too. If you blog we’d love to hear how you ended up using some of them (HTML Panel, Sitemap etc).
Coming from none-other-than Nick, it’s quite heartwarming ;)
I don’t usually blog about web-developement (ahem, when’s the last post on Shelovestofu?), but I’ll be happy to share my first full-on experience with Symphony. Can’t thank you guys enough for this magnificent tool.
There’s a lot going on, particularly on the XSLT side. Can post a description on the forum if that’s OK.
I love how you boldly did away with shoppingcart functionality. I always felt that shoppers never buy more then one item at once from a shop with a unique product that is new to them. So why bother.
What happens for multiple items: Order by email, or just repeat the (simple once logged into paypal) process?
If anyone knows of other 'buy now only' sites selling classy products from smaller companies, I'd like to add them to my list...maybe this is a trend in the longtail shops coming of age?...
Thanks @newnomad.
Spot on, the shopping cart didn't make any sense and it would have added additional complication and cost to the project.
We have yet to see anyone asking to buy more than one product ;)
No idea about other sites that use the same approach, but I'm sure we're not the only one.
