Built this website with Joomla 1.5.18 (meanwhile upgraded to 1.5.20) and Virtuemart 1.1.4 (well, just noticed there's an upgrade right now..  ;)).

I had to work quite a lot on little layout features, because i was not so happy of the main presentation.
Hope there was more place for customization and less bug in image uploading, but i found Virtuemart a great tool for setting up a reliable shopping cart.

I also used SecureTrading specific extension for Virtuemart.

Thanks to all the people in this forum
for giving me help and support.

Thanks.
Right, used siteground "149" (don't know if this number is enough to find it) template for it.

As i said, had to work quite hard on Virtuemart aspect, but now looks quite right.
Only thing im not so happy is about some validation errors somewhere in products browse pages, but im trying to fix them all.

Thank you guys.
I was thinking how unconvenient is to basically reinvent the wheel each time we start a brand new Virtuemart website.

I mean, the basic Virtuemart installation is very poor in its look-and-feel and need much editing in both css and php files.

That's why i began writing down a simple hack (just files override and a bunch of css rules to append in theme.css file) which gives it a better look.
An idea of what's the result is on this website.

You can get the hack here: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=75367.0

Let me know if it works fine for you as well, im looking for some feedback to improve it day by day.

cheers
