New ecommerce website

[artonweb]

Hello.
I have undertaken a new project for a new ecommerce website.
The person who has assigned me to do the job has already a website (with his company's presentation) made with Joomla 2.5.
I would like you to tell me your opinion.
Should I install the old version of virtuemart in the existing website or must I install the last version of Joomla 3 with the latest version of Virtuemart?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

VM3.0.12 runs fine on an up to date Joomla 2.5 so use the latest

Hi,
It's possible to stay with J2.5,but it's same as using old VM.
If you can, update all Joomla + Virtuemart. Because on updating to Joomla 3.4 after you can fully break your design(and plugins...) and mostly in Virtuemart and you loose more time.
