Marcel and Sara Floyd run a clematis nursery business based at Norrington Plants about half a mile down the road from Godjira Worldwide headquarters. Joe Almond from Norrington Plants is already a happy Godjira customer so when Marcel mentioned he wanted to sell plants on-line Jo pointed him in our direction.

Marcel is a specialist Climber and Clematis grower and wanted to be able to offer the plants on a website that was easy to use, easy to find and performed well in search engines.

We put together a solution based on Zen Cart, the open source e-commerce software. We figured this was going to be a shop first and foremost, so the site must look like a shop and behave like a shop and have all the bells and whistles that go with a shop.

The design needed to be in keeping with his competitors, but we hope we have added the regular Godjira touches that make it bright, clean and easy to use. Of course being Godjira, we went the extra mile with things like dynamic image resizing, search engine friendly URLs,  an XML sitemap and publishing the feed out to Froogle (Google’s shop thing)*. We helped Marcel set-up PayPal to take the money and sorted out the shipping rules and helped with the terms and conditions as well, we figure we have done this sort of thing before, so it’s only fair to help.

* if you want to know what this stuff means, give us a call and we will be happy to explain!

As a result, Marcel and Sara have an on-line shop that lets them earn money while they sleep as well as represent their business on the web. Godjira have gained another friendly and happy customer.
