Website Software Upgrade

Well after 10 years using different versions of osCommerce to power our website this weekend saw us move to prestashop. The decision to move was a difficult one as the two shopping carts are very different, but the final decision was really down to the fact that the core of osc is now over 10 years old and quite honestly the osC project now seems dead with the long promised version 3 still not near production ready. Short term we're sure there'll be a little disruption and even a fall in google ranking might happen but we think for the long term benefit of the website a newer more modern approach was essential.
The new site will allow us to offer everything the old one did with a few extras such as being able to offer related products to purchase with each other and even grouping products together for purchase in a single click.
The benefits of the new site are probably too great to list here but if you check it out you'll see whats on offer.

For UK and Ireland customers you can see our UK Wedding Jewellery here.
