Written by Kyle LedbetterComment on this post

Mercado is our first major entry into Joomla Ecommerce Templates. This template comes w/unique styles for 3 big components: VirtueMart, Tienda and K2. It's packed with 5 beautiful themes, 34 flexible module positions, 10 ribbon module styles, 10 button styles, and 5 slick ribbon banner styles. A CSS dropdown menu is built-in and our new TiendaSlides module (jQuery Tienda product slider) is included as well, whew! We'll go into more detail with screenshots after the break.

Until recently we weren't comfortable with the available ecommerce solution for Joomla. Two things changed that: 1) Dioscouri released Tienda, a huge step in the right direction for Joomla ecommerce in terms of code and compliance on the frontend and backend. 2) We finally came around to the idea that even though we don't approve of VirtueMart, it's one of the widely used Joomla components out there, and some of those people using it are probably JoomlaPraise customers.

Let's take a look at some of the goodness in Mercado.


Themes

Each of the 5 themes is fairly different from each other. There's Blue/Gray, Black/Yellow, Green/Gray, Teal/Khaki and Red/Black:

What do you think? Are we going down the right path supporting Tienda and VirtueMart? Should we do more ecommerce templates?
