Texture Plants

We all know I like my gardening right? I had the honor of redesigning one of my old sites I designed from scratch, around two years ago.

The Texture Plants site has been re-organised to allow people to browse by plant purpose aswell as alphabetically. Some helpful gardening know-how advise has been added, the gallery was tweaked to make browsing the images a little easier, Virtuemart was upgraded and the catalogue given a new layout to help the user gather more info without having to click all the way through to the product description. To add to all of that I gave their template a spruce up, they were after some bolder and darker colours to make the site easier to read and scan. They were happy to stay with their old joomla system, so all was familiar on that front. There was a final push to get it live ready for Christmas, which we achieved! Wooo hoo!

Working with the guys who own Texture always keeps me on my toes and reminds me there is more to gardening than growing vegetables. Now I am imagining my deck full of lovely interesting looking succulents with a nicely setup table and chairs to sit and drink tea in the sun on. Have a look around the Texture site for some inspiration and oodles of gardening advise. Even better, if you love visiting garden nurseries and are in town go and have a look around, its not your normal nursery, inspiration for the succulent lovers and more is abound…
