Hi,

 

my shop went live last week after many hours of learning 'oscommerce', 'php' & 'sql' it's up and running and customers are buying, so it works!!

 

Contributions added - in no particular order:-

 

Article Manager

Australian Bank Transfer

Australian Shipping Module

Paymate Express 2.0 (still got a wee problem with it not adding shipping?)

Credit Class and Gift Voucher - great mod - tricky to install but works like a dream

Australia Post Shipping Module

Monthly Sales & Tax Report

Price Updater (worth it's weight in gold - someone should write a qty updater too!)

Random Quotes

Random New Products

Search Box Enhancement

Customer Loyalty Discount Scheme

Member Discount Scheme

Low Stock Report

Orders Tracking (handy for stats !!)

Low Stock Level Email

Tell A Friend

Email Button in Orders

Gift Registry and Wishlist

 

And Bundled Products (still trying to iron out some problems - determined to crack it though)

 

So if you have a few minutes drop by I'd appreciate feedback - before I bolt it down and stop 'fiddling'.

Cheers

Why the English Link in the upper right?? Since that is the only Language u are using anyways. also in you Footer you have your email address -- why not make it a link still displaying the address. People are lazy I would rather click once ---than open my email then cut and paste your address into it. That is all I saw so far I really did not have time to go further ..

 

I do like your backgound and colors

 

Looks really Cool

Tables look a little bit different in Mozilla as compared to IE. Might want to check it out, its not really bad- just different.

My advice comes in two flavors- Pick the one that won't offend you.

Hi,

 

I was just stopping by to announce my store's opening and saw yours and thought I'd comment.

 

I don't have the time right this minute to check out the functionality of the store, so all I can comment on at this time is what I noticed at a quick glance. These are just my first impressions and shouldn't be taken personally or that I know anything of what I speak. :D

 

The first thing that hit me was that your logo takes up a huge amount of space at the time, forcing me to scroll to see the products. To hold my interest, I'd need to see something sooner on the page. I have too much text at the top of mine and have pared it down lots.

 

Also, I'd take the "articles" infobox off until you have some.

 

I'm pretty nitpicky and would change the pink background on the text at the bottom (email address) and match it to the background of your infoboxes.

 

I do like the discount scheme that you have added and will check that out soon.

 

That's it for now, but I will certainly try to come back and check out the store itself very soon.

Took me some time to figure out how to check out.

Suggest a check out button on header.

Large logos are ok with me but I do think there is too much space above your name.

Hi Afterdark,

 

constructive criticism is appreciated - but you really haven't given me much to go by?

 

Would you like to ellaborate a little?

It's not an English Link - it is the Australian Flag to show we are an Australian Site

 

also in you Footer you have your email address -- why not make it a link still displaying the address.

 

As soon as I work out how to do that in a .jpg I will - thanks

- Thanks

- I don't know how to see what your seeing - I use Mozilla - not sure what the 'difference' might be??

- Yes I was worried about that two - will require a bit of reworking - I have some like it some not - not sure if I should do something about that?

 

too much text at the top
As soon as my 'Grand Opening' period - about 4 weeks is over most of the text will disappear - I agree - pictures are better as a first impression :-)

 

take the "articles" infobox off until you have some
- I'll consider doing that - thanks - not sure I'll change the pink border though it is supposed to match the pink side panel.

Have to give that one some more thought - what are you suggesting - another link somewhere at the top that says checkout? So you can click that or click the Shopping Basket ? If I re-work the logo I might have some room for that so I'll look into it.

 

thanks everyone so far for your feedback - much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

regards,

 

Maria

My personal taste (I can't create--check out my site ;) ), but I know what I like and don't like...that said.

 

The space of above your name in your logo is stealing from your selling space, so I'd just chop off the top part for starters.

 

I'd need to go back again, but I remember that I made my display font smaller in IE to see if that helped and it did, but does everyone know they can do that? What size is your font? Maybe you could just make it smaller? I'm not sure I like the orange colored text thrown in as I had to resist the temptation to click on it.

 

If you don't have any articles yet, it's best not to advertise it and, since that can be a marketing tool, save it for later to give your store a boost.

 

I just thought that the pink line and pink side panels were a mistake and not deliberate, sorry. Maybe you should choose a more vibrant third color for your color scheme????

 

Hope this gives you some food for thought...I'm just giving you my first impressions and isn't that what sells??? Mine is so plain, too, but I'm going to spice up when I get the time.
