From what I see you only have English as an option - why waste space with the language box if you aren't offering an option?

 

where it says - Let's see what we have here - there is a place holder for an image showing but no image and right under that in your box heading I see the words table_background_default.gif I would delete the let's see words and replace with the category name.

 

Why not make your buy now buttons the same as your top buttons?

 

The green you use for your info boxes should match the green for the header and footer exactly or use some other colour.

 

Good luck I really like your flash banner.

Language option is in the future.

I can't find where i have changed that image - index.php? I did not see anything wrong there.

Put a fixed width on your site!

Find a new button set!

By the looks of your borders I can still see that right column a little! I would fix that and stylize your page a little.

Get rid of any stock text and see about reorganizing your product listing and using your space.

 

Site must be seamless and look professional before people will buy...even Russian people... B)

 

Didn't mean to sound like a drill sergeant...good luck :blink:

I have worked out thjrough lengthy searching through your site that you are a seller of Russion DVDs based in the States. Is this right? Why don't you say so on the front page - I assumed (like your other reviewers I think) that you are based in Russia, and that would put me off trading with you.

That's great tip thanks. Will definitely incorporate that asap.

Take 2 steps out of your checkout process and streamline your site, and its easy!

 

Get rid of the "Welcome Please Sign In" Page, this page stops people in their tracks and will hurt your sales.

 

Use this to take the "Welcome Please Sign In" Page and the "Account Created Success" Page out of your checkout process but still collect all their info and create an account or to "Sign In" if they already have an account.

I was informed that the link didn;t work so here are the instructions.

 

Open up checkout_payment.php and find:

 

// if the customer is not logged on, redirect them to the login page

if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {

 $navigation->set_snapshot();

 tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));

}

 

Change it to:

 

// if the customer is not logged on, redirect them to the login page

if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {

 $navigation->set_snapshot();

 tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));

}

 

Then:

 

In checkout_shipping.php change:

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));

 

 

To:

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));

 

 

and if you want to get rid of the "Account Created Success" window that pops up after they create their account do this:

 

In create_account.php

 

Change

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SUCCESS, '', 'SSL'));

 

to

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'));

 

this will remove the thank you message after account creation to speed up checkout. You no longer see create_account_success.php, it goes right to shipping.

 

With this process you have just removed 2 steps from the lengthy cart process, and removed the Dreaded "Become a Member" Page that scares of potential customers, and you still get them to sign in and get them to create the account.

 

Is this great or what?

You can use the center shop contribution, to be found here.

I like the header graphics but I find it unnerving that they have to reload whenever I change to a different page.

 

Currently EscapeToRussia.com is shipping within USA only.

 

And yet, I can create an account with an address literally anywhere in the world.

 

Is it legal for you to refer customers to ways around the DVD region locks, especially since the software you endorse also allows you to break the copy protection as well as the region lock?
