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.
