khampaman Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 please everybody, this is my first venture into oscommerce. after lots of screwing around, i finally managed to create a resemblence of a website. so please guys, any suggestios, advice, whatever, throw me some bones. i'm terrible with colors, you can tell by the website, here it is Site TIA Khampaman
khampaman Posted July 15, 2004 Author Posted July 15, 2004 guys, i would also appreciate any suggestions to change header tags, etc. tia - khampaman
ema Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I liked, The colors are different, are soft and very nice to look but the basic is Oscommerce !!! One sugesstion : You can't modify the bottons of the shop, i think the blue bottons does not have the look of your store....
Guest Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 First impression: header graphics are WAY cool! I don't like that the left column boxes are so narrow, while the right column boxes are quite a bit wider. Perhaps make your credit card graphic a little smaller? Yup, ema's right - you need to make some buttons which match the site's style. You probably already know this, but you need to personalize the shipping and privacy pages. I'm still impressed by the graphic. Did you make it yourself?
burt Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 It's a good start to an Osc site, but... You have some major competition: http://www.tibetcollection.com/ Both your site and this site are fiarly standard looking Oscommerce layout - but the tibetcollection site is where I would buy from as it looks more professional. Please don't take this as a bad thing - for your first site, what you have is good. But end customers want to look at a site and think "wow"... hope this helps
khampaman Posted July 15, 2004 Author Posted July 15, 2004 Ema and goldengrams: Thanks for the suggestion. I've already fixed the credit card grapics to match the width of other picture. now, left and right colum are of equal width. goldengrams- yes i did the graphic. just messed around with background and hues. burt: thanks for the encouragement. i know tibetcollection.com is way professional looking than mine but i'll try to improve my website. learning is so fun! by the way, do you've any suggestions Ema and GG: i'll be working on the buttons to match the store colors. thanks guys
khampaman Posted July 27, 2004 Author Posted July 27, 2004 :D hi yall, made some changes. any feeback is highly appreiciated. thanks. here you go My Site
khampaman Posted July 29, 2004 Author Posted July 29, 2004 guys, i made some changes to my website. please be very critical!!
iainshaw Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 I'd change the 'What's new here' on the front page. I'd fix the table_*****.gif images. They are so different visually good luck
HyperJack Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Nice job Tashi! But..... Date of Birth: required gender: required Why? I would leave your store and never come back! And 'Post Code:' should be 'ZIP CODE' and placed after 'state' ------- Advanced_search.php Everything in the bottom box can be removed. Actually, I'd remove the 'Advanced Search" link from your quick find box. ------- product_info.php "This product was added to our catalog on Wednesday 21 July, 2004." WHO CARES!!!! ------- The date is formatted wrong in your footer. ------- I like the login page and your pictures are great. Good luck!
TAPAKAH Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 You have two search boxes. one on top right corner, and a standart OsC one in Quickfind box. Do you need a second one to help the first one? ;)
khampaman Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 thanks hyperjack, would u by anychance know how to implement the changes that u suggested. i mean how to make the date of birth and gender stuff not a requirement and also how to move the zip code below the state.
khampaman Posted July 31, 2004 Author Posted July 31, 2004 hyper jack, figured out how to get rid of gender and dob and all other unneccesary stuff. but still couldn't figure out how to put the zip code after the state.
khampaman Posted July 31, 2004 Author Posted July 31, 2004 long night does good to me, hyperjack, i figured out the zip code problem. thanks for your suggestion. can u check out my create account page again. thanks. -tashi
HyperJack Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Sorry I didn't respond. I haven't been to this site in a few days. Site looks good. I would change one more thing. Consider changing the 'sign in' button to read 'continue'. I know it sounds strange, but trust me! I really like your products. FYI- products_id=72 is missing a bi_image. Also, if you're in the states, you should change Tuesday 03 August, 2004 to Tuesday, August 03, 2004.
HyperJack Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 And, I would valign the search box with the images in the header.
khampaman Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 hyperjack, got your points, i'll work on it. thanks. -tashi
khampaman Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 done! thank you very much for your critiques
pushkraj Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 :rolleyes: i have seen ur site it is good i also wants to develop a store site can u give me some point how to start waiting for ur suggestions
etepalusip Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 very nice job khampaman.....i truly like simplicity in a web site; they don't have to WOW me to get a sale. minor quibbles: proofread the 'shipping & returns' page, get rid of the 'requests since july', get rid of the stock gif images such as 'table_background_specials.gif' on the privacy page, i get a popup security warning when trying to create an account, you should add further contact info---phone #, address. pete
khampaman Posted August 7, 2004 Author Posted August 7, 2004 thanks pete! i'm working on it Yogi - did u check www.oscommerce.com. if not try this and get back to me
schmirk Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 You have a colour/contrast problem with your rollover links at the top "My Account | Cart Contents | Checkout " Hard to read the white on light blue. This sort of thing is a minor detail but imediately fails your site as a professionally maintained project.
khampaman Posted August 9, 2004 Author Posted August 9, 2004 brandon - thanks for your suggestion. i didn't notice it before, anyway, its fixed. pete - about the security popup! i've no idea how to fix this. if u know how please let me know. actually, i bought ssl certificate from comodo inc to use for my website but i don't know how to apply it to my current store. i'm right now using the shared ssl that comes with oscommerce. so if u know, i would appreciate ur help. anyone??
Guest Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Thats really great ;) just a question how can i put search box on top and add color to border like categories and the rest
