Car Import Website with Catalog: VAuto
VAuto imports new and used cars from Japan and the USA to Georgia. Its website brings the car catalog, filtered search and auction links together in one place.
Project in brief
VAuto is a car import company that brings new and used cars from Japan and the USA to Georgia. The website is built on WordPress with the Vehica car theme. The home page has a search form by make, model and price, followed by featured listings, popular makes and a block with the company's strengths. A simple admin panel is used to add new cars, and the site works fully on phones.
Challenge
What a buyer needs from a car import website
Buying a car abroad takes trust. A buyer wants to see which cars are available, where each one comes from and how the process works.
The car list changes often, so the catalog has to stay up to date
Buyers want to see the original auction listing themselves
A buyer should narrow the choice quickly by make, model and price
The company needs to add a new car simply and fast
Solution
How the car catalog is built
The site is built on the Vehica theme, which is made for selling cars. The catalog is dynamic: a new car appears in the list as soon as it is added.
Each listing shows the price, year, mileage and transmission type, so a buyer can compare cars at a glance.
