Guest Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 B. Weaver Apiaries A couple months ago I posted this site for your input and much has changed since. I took a good deal of your advice to make it what it is. There are many features like an uber-module for shipping. Some products have fixed rates and fixed options for shipping, others have up to five shipping options each with up to 5 quantity breaks. All products also have price breaks pre-shipping. Needless to say, this was a lot of work just to figure out how to make it possible. They also required an entirely re-engineered shopping cart with no product pages. All in all, we are all very happy but now require some input one more time on flow and bugs, especially with this new approach to the cart. Your help is appreciated.
Guest Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 looks nice, have you tried it in lynx or a screen reader?
Guest Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 No, hadn't done that. We've gone over some options for low-res and text-based browsing, but that will be phase 2 (if at all).
AfterDark Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Nice use of grafx but i dont like the site. Its not at all user friendly to my thinking - having the drop downs at the bottom is not good. Too much moving about to do anything - there is no flow. Older people (which im guessing may be a part of your demographic) will not easily follow your logic. The pop up windows will be lost on some poeple who use popup blockers and such. There is little text so have phun with seo.
Guest Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Well, the logic is clearly not to "sell" as crazy as that sounds. Contrary to typical web cart approaches, the shopper is not forced into a purchase consideration as they look for information. They can browse around the site without any sales pressure and when ready, from wherever they please, purchases can be made immediately without having to re-find the product info page they liked. This merchant has an established customer base in the tens of thousands who simply want a display site with purchase options. Information first, purchase second. Customers are coming to appreciate that more and more from a web site. In fact, it is undoubtedly much more fluid a shopping experience, very little "trudging around." That philosophy is beyond debate, so before you analyze this from inside the osC "box," please consider that this is a new and novel approach. I'm not asking you to "like" this as a developer as I was confident that many wouldn't, but to trust me as a business- and salesman and challenge my coding in this new and challenging scheme.
iainshaw Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Don't know if it's me but the drop down under "find out more about ou bees" doesn't work in Firefox 1.0
etepalusip Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Not working for me in mozilla 1.7, throwing js errors 'homeNav not defined in line 22 of index.php' the site looks great otherwise. pete http://www.generouse.com
