One Sixth Depot Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 OK folks... I have been "live" for 10 months now... Through mass marketing (free forums, newsgroups, and word of mouth) I have gotten myself a pretty steady group of about 300 customers. My stock pretty much sells itself. I would like to add some color - a nice theme maybe? I have been in touch with several folks that want $250 PLUS to add some color for me - not my idea of a good investment... I'd rather just "do it myself"... But I have no idea how to do it - I am PhP ignorant, and I have NO idea how to program... Everything I have done thus far is with a simple html editor. Help? Suggestions welcome... Here ya go: http://www.onesixthdepot.com THIS STORE IS LIVE - orders WILL go through if placed. Thanks for your help! Bear Johnson
mmier Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Yeah you defiantly need to do something with the site. I?d have someone overhaul it with a whole new layout, not just the colors and get the camo/outdoors look going since it seems it?s more military & outdoor based equipment. I?ve had a few people do some work for me off elance.com. They took photoshop layouts I designed and implemented them into OsCommerce. It improved sales on my site within the first month! ( Link to my Website ) It was about what you?re being offered just for the color overhaul, so you may want to look elsewhere. If you need help with it, let me know. Ill do what I can and if not I can lead you in the right direction. Good Luck! Miz --------------------- Contributions New Fields with Easy Populate Remove Category Images
matrix2223 Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 I would get a new catagories box like a drop down or one that has subcatagories and on mouseover the other pop out, reason is your cats are a country mile long no offense just a simple suggestion. I could help you out with a camo background that you could implament into the infobox headers along with custom camo buttons with a really cool font. If you would like some help just let me know and I unlike some folks wont charge anything but a thank you.
Guest Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 HI Are you useful with photoshop or other similar graphics programs, ie: can you design a site look that you would want? If so, its a case of finalising that design in say, photoshop, then slicing the image and using stylesheet and root files in oscommerce - and implementing it. Have you thought about making your site narrower, as the trend seems to be toward sites of 760 wide and maybe a color backround? All the best Merc
