It has been long time since we reviewed beautiful Joomla sites, so here are some for your inspiration. However, we will not write about personal blogs or corporate sites as we did before, but will focus on Joomla stores: the online stores which are powered by Joomla.

Actually, Joomla is not an eCommerce engine and to build a Joomla store you’ll also need VirtueMart. The case is “VirtueMart is an Open Source E-Commerce solution to be used together with a Content Management System (CMS) called Joomla!”

Although VirtueMart is available free of charge, it still provides a high level of security and usability to ensure that your online stores are not only visually appealing but also reliable and easy to manage.

So, here is a list of online stores that are a mixture of Joomla and VirtueMart. You’d better remember this powerful combination if your site is powered by Joomla and you’d like to turn it into an online store.
