Alignment Problem + Payment Advice

[robstillwell]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me out with a problem I have with infoboxes on the right hand side of my shop. They Align with my top header when you are viewing a product but on the main shop page and some other ones they are right out on the right hand side. Can anyone suggest the best way to fix this.

The site can be found here: Beautiful Organics

Also I have not yet set up payment methods, what do people recommend as the best method. This is the first time I have done any e-commerce stuff so don't really know.

 

thanks in advance

Rob

Firstly your images are quite large, you could reduce them slightly.

 

Alternativly you need to do some fixing of the widths of some of the rows.

 

An example is:

Skin Care>Treatment Gels

This show two items. The fist the description in brackets there is no spacing, so this forces that cell to expand. When 'mouse over' and the writting turns bold the cell expands even further.

1st trying adjust the text.

 

More major surgery is required in some areas.

Like 'Reviews'

If you select 'review' from the items page it shows an image along with any review, or states 'no review...'

 

Because you have centered your site this will continue.

I recommend adjusting the table layout in the review.php so that the image is one of the following:

1. Reduced in size.

2. Moved above any review info, or below.

 

Not the easiest of things to do, but the best method (i think)

 

Basically, because of centering the site you have reduced the potential width of the site. Thats not i bad thing, i have done the same.

You just need to adjust out any little bugs.

The way i worked around it for my whole site is to remove the right hand column from all files. If i wanted a box from the right column i just added it to the left column when required.

Cheers for that. I seemed to solve some of it by reducing the number of new products displayed also. Gonna try and put the image thumbnail addin in too so i can reduce image size dynamically.

Hi,

 

I'm confused as to why your site home page address is:

http://70.85.58.4/~beautif/shop/catalog/

[and not http://beautiful-organics.com or something!!!!!!!

I think you have configured wrongly also you are showing ~beautif in your address which means you are using a shared SSL yet non of your pages that should be secure start https:// So here is how I set mine up check yours is the same also very important make sure you have no empty spaces before <?php at the top of the page and after ?> at the bottom.

 

Kind Regards,

Michelle
