I'm sure you all know www.shopstyle.com . I'm going to make a web page like shopstyle.com, but without directing and linking to another sites from my site. I just want to make a online directory of clothing, shoes, accesories. As E-commerce websites are not so popular in my country, I decided to make just directory of stores likes - Zara, Bershka MassimoDutti ..etc. Everything is same as in ecommerce web sites, my version will be without "Add To card" or "buy" button. I want visitors to search for clothing and make them notice about sales, new collection arrivals. I wonder what is the easiest way of making such kind of site? I've tried Wordpress with Ecommerce themes but its not the one I want.
This depends entirely on the system you want to use really. For example, if using woocommerce with wordpress you would use this for instance. http://lucasstark.com/solutions/woocommerce-catalog-visibility-options/ What you are talking about is called "catalog mode" in terms of making a shopping cart not actually sell something. Here is the mod to do it with opencart http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=3090 hope that helps, Nigel
Thaks for replay, I found it very helpful. I wonder i this case, which is the best platform of creating catalog mode web site, what about Joomla? Do I understand you right, that there is no setting or free plugin for that
No the mods I have seen for this are cheap though. I don't suggest using joomla for anything, ever lol.. This cart for wordpress has a catalog mode but I have never even heard of it so I cant really advise you there. http://wordpress.org/plugins/dukapress/ For wp-ecommerce http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-e-commerce-catalog-visibility-and-email-inquiry/ so that solution would be entirely free as well. I typically find woocommerce to be the soundest of the wordpress carts but you will have to spend a few dollars to get the catalog plugin. Nigel
