The latest on our ongoing and ever expanding web presence

Catalogue Interface changed

I have changed the way customers can view the items in the catalogue. Now, instead wading through numbered sections, you can, using the letters at the top and bottom of the catalogue, go directly to all species that start with any letter of the alphabet. If there are no species that start with the letter you choose, a message is displayed to that effect.

This makes looking for a particular species very easy. You can also view all items in the catalogue at once if you wish, although it may take a while to download if you've got a slow connection.

Pure species and hybrids are displayed separately. Your comments on the new system are most welcome!

Beta Version uploaded.

An advanced version of the site has been uploaded and members of the general public have been invited to test run it and give us their comments. More work has been done on the back end system of the reservations section, in order to make the system more efficient and also to fix a few bugs in the code.

There is now lots more content for visitors as well as a few more photos in the catalogue sections. Current sections/features under development are:

• Section for members to edit the information they entered when registering.
• Enable members to edit previously saved reservations.
• Feature for member to see what they have ordered on previous occasions.
• A comments section for visitors.
• and a few more that are only for site administrators (BE)

Also, soon to be added are the links to the FAQ section. Now this is an extremely tedious process, as our current growing guide need to be revamped and re complied to new information. There is, as yet, no projected date for release.

Catalogue structure changed.

The catalogue section with direct link to the reservations section has been completely redone to reflect the format of our new and improved price list, which is available in PDF format for download.

Regular visitors can browse the catalogue to get an indication of prices as well get a glimpse of the quality of our plants. Some photos are not available as yet but will be uploaded before the official release of the site.

Once visitors register with us and are given the appropriate retail/wholesale status, they can log in to view the retail or wholesale sections of the catalogue and place orders through the website.

Alpha Version uploaded.

The rudimentary version of the site was uploaded today to test out some of the basic functionality and page download times. This version is only for code testing purposes and does not have any content for general viewing.
