1 - 1 - - 1 - Shopping Cart Check out our new and much-improved web site. Ender has spent a lot of work building a full-featured e-commerce site, saving me from learning php and mysql. We are running the same software that some of the largest sites on the web are using. The shopping cart is very secure and works great. Besides being very easy to order, we now have pictures of most of the plants in the catalog, not just thumbnails but medium and large images as well. All are pre- scaled to keep load times to a minimum and to give you the best quality pictures. By summer we should have pictures of every plant we grow, assuming I manage to catch them in bloom. A number of people have donated pictures, thanks to all, you know who you are. If you do wish to donate any pics we are missing, the simplest way is to mail us a disk; our bandwidth limits preclude downloading big files. If you want to check out the new shopping cart along with all of the new pictures simply go to http://www.arrowheadalpines.com/ and click the Shop Here link on the main page. Remember to keep checking the cart because we will have some late additions that are web only, in the past we had to hold these things for a year but now the will be available much sooner, You can browse the shopping cart to your hearts content without buying but if you do want to add a few things to your cart, we won’t object. As always you can still order the old fashioned way with a paper order. We do still accept phone orders however, I am not around as much, so if at all possible use the cart or order form. I do still answer plant questions and try to be as helpful as I can, please do not leave a huge set of questions on the answering machine it just jams it up, call back in the early evening and talk to me. I have even answered questions about plants purchased elsewhere, the joys of being an unpaid consultant. You can also go directly to http://www.arrowheadshopping.com/. The site is very fast; our host has an oct-28 connection directly into the Internet backbone. This is like having hundreds of t1 lines; it takes broadband to insane levels. I would love to have a connection like that.
