Title: Handcrafted Jewelry VirtueMart
Post by: mbonyak on November 24, 2012, 02:42:18 AM
My first VM store is up and running!  It still needs work in the details but I'm finally happy with the overall feel.

Bonyak Jewelry: www.bonyak.com (http://www.bonyak.com)
VM 2.0.14

I've finally got most of the weird bugs ironed out and am focused now on polishing the overall customer experience.  Any constructive criticism or other feedback is appreciated.

Hi,
I noticed that most of your category thumbnails are scaled down due to settings in your css files. Image scaling makes a website slower. For example .../com_virtuemart/assets/css/flexibleVM2Global.css - below .FlexibleThumbBrowseV1Picture, there is a height limit of 170px. You could increase this a little bit to avoid image scaling.

With category images which are usually 200px wide, you could also consider to display 3 products in a row instead of two, so you customers have to scroll less.

Overall your shop looks good.

BTW - you should consider to write a review about VirtueMart in the Joomla extension directory  ;)
