10 years anniversary! New web is here!

2018-06-01

It has been 10 year since I started breeding snails. This anniversary deserves some special reward, this new website. I hope you will find it much easier to search for information about snails or even to purchase one. Finally there is a shopping basket and the site is responsive so you can fully enjoy it on your mobile devices. With a new architecture I will be able to extend web easier and faster. It is much easier for me to add new content now so I will add extended descriptions and many new species for sale in the near future. Also the section of snail accessories was increased dramatically and I will add even more stuff.

However as the website is completely rebuilt there could be some bugs and problems. I hope you will understand. It would be great if you can write me at my email if you encounter any problems. Also I would like to know about your comments or suggestions. What you don´t like on this new version or what feature do you want me to add?
