I just finished the new e-commerce website for ollie & max this week. The website needed to be built using designs and specs supplied by ollie & max. I used Joomla! and Virtuemart for developing the website. Included extensions: JoomlaPack (Backup System), Acajoon Newsletter, MyBlog (Bloging component),  JCE (Content-Editor) and of course Virtuemart (1.1.3).  Modified/customized template files include the fly-page for product detail, browse-page for category and minicart-page (minicart.tpl.php) (to mention only a few). To change the thumbnail size within the fly-page I used a very handy code snippet by Creb. It allows the dynamic resizing to your own specification leaving the thumbnail size in your browse-page the same as specified in the Virtuemart admin panel.  Commercial alternatives are found on the magic thumb website.
