Furniture Stores Giant sets new trend

The furniture stores giant 'Moveis Estrelicia' based in Portugal has published its new and innovative web site (http://www.moveisestrelicia.com/) utilizing Joomla!

The site was designed and developed by Joomla specialists 'Navega Bem - Web Design'. Company MD Chris Szabo explained "Moveis Estrelicia have a very large customer base, not only located in Portugal but also the UK, USA and South America. We were asked to come up with a CMS solution that would provide a fast and user friendly experience with an online payment system. Our experience with CMS sites made Joomla! the logical choice".

The unique site interface which allows furniture to be viewed and purchased online is based on Virtuemart but with a lot of extra programming from 'OrangeWeb' (http://www.orangeweb.es). Edmund Elzer, the chief programmer explained that his objective was to make the site function in a way that was not instantly recognisable as a standard Joomla CMS. "The Joomla framework is very flexible and allows us to develop the site around the design - rather than having to adapt the design to fit the framework."

The site uses a Portuguese online payment system 'Redunicre' which accepts all the major credit cards.
