Wholesale store export what do you thing about it?

[peteravu]

Now it is time to hear your opinion. The most changes I made are on the technical side, not so much on the design.

 

One issue I have now is SEO, google and ask.com indexed the site last weak, but only the index page, but now after only 5 days I nearly disappeared on them. What have I done wrong?

 

My site is www.avuasia.com

 

Please fill free to try out everything in the shop, and let me get your opinion.

Every item I add the the cart, I get the message, "Products marked with * don't exist in desired quantity in our stock. You can buy them anyway and we will inform you when we can deliver." Major turn off. Either turn this off or adjust your quantity on hand.

 

Your color scheme kills me. Change your buttons those white borders around the corners are bad.

 

Maybe on your view cart page where it says 'Qty.' change that so the customer is reminded that he/she is ordering 1 dozen instead of just 1.

Lots of aqua -----

 

 

lots and lots of aqua

 

past that it looks good.

[peteravu]

Just wonder if it?s only my blue aqua color that everybody doesn?t like or other ting/color to.

[radders]

Change the backgound colour pleeease :-) I couldn't possibly buy from a shop with that colour scheme. I know blue is supposed to be a trustworthy colour but not that shade haha!

[peteravu]

Ok what about this?

 

How to take away the space between the header and the box, they?re the background color come ass a line?

Now I made it even more lighter, what you think about it now?

[sincp]

You just need to change the value of cellpadding and cellspacing to modify the separation from header and body.

Thanks for that:

it is in catalog\includes\classes\boxes.php

 

  class infoBox extends tableBox {
   function infoBox($contents) {
     $info_box_contents = array();
     $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $this->infoBoxContents($contents));
     $this->table_cellpadding = '1';
     $this->table_parameters = 'class="infoBox"';
     $this->tableBox($info_box_contents, true);

change to

 class infoBox extends tableBox {
   function infoBox($contents) {
     $info_box_contents = array();
     $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $this->infoBoxContents($contents));
     $this->table_cellpadding = '0';
     $this->table_parameters = 'class="infoBox"';
     $this->tableBox($info_box_contents, true);

I like to get more feedback about the CEO and the colors (when the colors are ok I can make new buttons)

Also any other comments are welcome like design suggestions, errors, misspelling or any thing else.

1. Definitely aqua needs to go. Based on the products that you are carrying earth tones might have better appeal.

 

2. Your currency notation is confusing me. Pillowcase of silk for Full price

4,85 USD. Does this mean $4.85 (decimal instead of comma) for a dozen or $485.00 for a dozen.

 

3. When you have a lot of products in a category, you might want to limit the number of rows to be displayed to avoid scrolling. Maybe limit it to 10 or so. This can be easily achieved through admin.

 

4. Ornamental Vases. Being ignorant about shades of brown, i would not know what is the difference between dark brown vs. dark brown nature vs. burl wood color vs. light nature wood. I suggest put a color chart on the product detail page or somewhere on the site for reference.

 

5. I would like to see your physical address and other contact information on your Contact Us page.

 

6. 'We don't have stock, therefore you can get just what you want at reasonable prices.' This is confusing. If you do not have stock then what am i supposed to buy at reasonable prices. Perhaps you should change the wordings to explain it well. Maybe 'Our items are available in limited quantities ......'

Ok now what everybody think about the new colors?

Thanks, that opposite how we do in Denmark.

Anybody know about the other currencies how they are displayed correctly?

 

 

3. When you have a lot of products in a category, you might want to limit the number of rows to be displayed to avoid scrolling. Maybe limit it to 10 or so. This can be easily achieved through admin.

Well I did that because I thin that it is easier to scroll down than click next 10 times.

Thanks for the head up on that, I will see how I can do that a good way

You're got it.

I will see how I can improve it.

 

 

Thanks allot for your excellent feedback Nafisa.

Are now change to "We don't have stock, we only make to order at reasonable prices." hope that is more understandable.

Too much scrolling isn't good. The people with slow connections will leave if the page isn't loaded fast enough, and a lot of images makes it load slow. osCommerce is drawing the smaller thumb image by resizing the large image, rather than using an actual thumbnail (which would be much better). That means each image is adding quite a lot to the load times. Most people will wait 10-15 seconds max for the page to load before hitting the Back button.

 

Personally, I think scrolling once is okay, but if it's really long it's annoying. I limit my images to about 20 products MAX per page.

I think I ended up using OnTheFly GDThumb. It made the image load allot faster.

I like to hear what some on a slow connection means. I'm on a slow connection also, but I think it load fast after I installed OnTheFly GDThumb.

The default osCommerce was a nightmare even with only a few images.

[moonlitsun]

I would suggest migrating away from the standard osC structure/infobox layout...

 

IMHO

Any comments on the colors?
