The Vividfish Experience

VirtueMart is the leading Online-Shop solution for Joomla!  (with more than 1.5 Million downloads so far).

VirtueMart is OpenSource and we can modify it without any restrictions (License: GNU/GPL) - just as we do with the core CMS Joomla. But VirtueMart is no stand-alone script, but a Plug-in and requires the PHP Content Management System Joomla! So our e-commerce solutions are based on a Joomla installation first, then VirtueMart. A lot of translations are available and we can install addtional language files to make your online trading truly international.
