Weinshop Peth – Weingut Andreas und Heinfried Peth

Eduard Seifert — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 12:48:03 +0000

Weingut Andreas und Heinfried Peth is a modern, medium-sized winery in Bermersheim in the heart of Rheinhessen and it is nearly 100 impressive years old. Wine quality, tradition and respect to mother nature are Bacchus-laws.

YLF.Design created their webshop using the OXID eshop Community Edition. One of the main reasons we decided to use Oxid is the fact that Oxid is not as resource-hungry as many other systems. Another thought was the benefit “value for money” that our customer gets and the monthly fixed costs are held moderate.

The goal was to keep the page as clean and simple as possible. Just snippets of JavaScript and only a few jQuery plugins were used. For the CSS layout we took the 960 Grid System. The result after the development was a codebase valid, accessible, fast and really nice looking wine shop.

Finally we want to thank the people at the Oxid Community for the assistance they gave in some cases. We appreciate it very much!

Now, take your time, a glas of wine and relax while looking at the images and visiting the shop. Next time you open a bottle of wine, we hope it will be one of Peth’s. Just remember (proverb only works in german language): »Für guten Wein ist’s nie zu sPeth«
