Having run successfully for five-years, the Veseys.com e-commerce website was ready for an update. The team at silverorange worked with the team at Veseys to create the next generation of the Veseys.com e-commerce site.

Veseys, based in York, Prince Edward Island, has been serving gardeners for over 65 years and has been sending its beautiful catalogues to Canadians for generations. We’re proud to help carry forward the tradition of beautifully presented quality products and great service to the web.

The new website takes advantage of improvements in web-browser support for the XHTML and CSS web standards to provide faster loading, better looking, and more accessible pages. The website is also the first major e-commerce site built upon the Swat open-source web application toolkit. Building upon Swat allows us to focus less on writing low-level code and focus more on making the customer experience as enjoyable and efficient as possible.

This platform change for the Veseys website also marks a switch from using a proprietary software to using a completely open-source software stack.
