Guest Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Thanks for looking in, After a month my site www.sweetieworld.co.uk, has received only a handfull of orders. I have been advertising on google adwords and have had lots of visitors, but this has only converted into a handfull of orders. I realise that I will receive repeat business from people that have ordered already, but I need people to order in the first place. Any feedback is welcome on the design of the site, as I am pulling my hair out and I had little enough to start off with <_< Thanks in advance for yout time, Paul www.sweetieworld.co.uk
Giselle Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 An immediate problem is your colours. When I think of sweeties I think candy colours, not 70's brown and yellow. It looks UNAPPETISING.
♥bruyndoncx Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Ok, here's how I would like to see a candy shop: - how much is 125g for a particular product ? - do I get a discount if I buy 1kg / 2kg of a particular kind ? - a clear image of the individual sweetie would be nice, specifically when clickingn to enlarge - product listing in columns would be nicer - can't you put some nice bundles together that are pleasing to the eye and ideal as a gift ? (I bought my 2 year old nephew a bag of colourfull candy with a big lolly on top for his birthday this saturday ...) - personally don't know how different sweets are categorized, I shop by recognision, and taste, as such an all products page with images to click and order would for me work best. HTH KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?! Find the most frequent unique errors to fix: grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt
FalseDawn Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 kola bottles - ho ho ho - I used to love those! If you had the ones with the sugary coating that was really sour, I'd order some! :-D
ksaun Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 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? :thumbsup: My Favorite Quote from a movie. Question: How do you know women sooo well? Answer: I think of a man, then take away reason and accountability.

Guest Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Thanks for your comments everyone. I will be updating the site a little today and hopefully it will make a bit of a difference. All the images of sweets are in the process of being updated, as well as the buttons on the site. Also, I will be updating the privacy info etc. Once again, thanks for your help.
