Guest Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi, fantastic front page however once i selected which catagory the look and feel of the site seemed to die. I think it would help if you kept your thumb nails to one size (especially height) and perhaps could put some sort of boarder on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodoi Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 That really is a good looking site....very well done. Can't see anything wrong with it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtnhpy Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Very nice site...nice work! The only thing I noticed was that going through checkout, you have no SSL...that is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Agree - SSL is a must - wouldn't do business online with a shop that didn't have it. I know you have Ultimate SEO URL's but you may also want to think about either cDynamic Meta Tags or Header Tags Controller. Nice template.

Guest Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 SSL is there when you checkout. does it not appear? Roy Agree - SSL is a must - wouldn't do business online with a shop that didn't have it.

rommany Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Your SSL is fine, i like what you have done but im not sure that the white background of the product images work, i would think about changing it to the pink you have as a background so the site looks more seemless. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The search icon reminds me of osc - Spoils an otherwise briliant site Excellent work and good luck! Regards Mark Regards Mark A Reynolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Thanks for all the comments, will get to work on them! Yeah, I hate the search button too but was too caught up in so many things. So tired... so tired... I agree with all the comments - my only point is this... 1. The search icon reminds me of osc - Spoils an otherwise briliant site Excellent work and good luck!

mj_superfly Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Very original looking site - great work :thumbsup: As mentioned elsewhere, there's still the odd vestige of stock osCommerce lurking here and there which you should work to remove to truly individualise the site. I'd also get a very visible phone number and address on the site to show potential customers that you really exist and build credibility. The other thing that has to be said is that the site is very 'heavy', the homepage alone is almost 200k with 31 HTTP requests. Try to see if there are any ways you can reduce the page weight by replacing graphics with CSS effects. Also, you don't need Javascript for all the rollovers, just use the CSS :hover pseudo class. Good luck and well done for doing something innovative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spax Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 As said above, top marks for originality. I'll be honest here, when I have reviewed other sites, if others have gone into the technical aspects, I usually look at the landing page and leave. However, being as your site is so original, I clicked through all of it. Because of this, I think you have a winner, as others will certainly do the same. If I was really picky, which I am :rolleyes: I thought the small sideways scroll spoils it a tad. You have the width set at 800 but that doesn't allow for the vertical scrollbar or any margins. Could you bring it down to 770? That would eliminate sideway scrolling. Out of interest, what coupon contribution did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I used the inigo coupon, but I modified it to have a use_left column that gets subtracted from each time the coupon is used.

Thanks for that, I'll check it out! I need one that I can choose what the coupon number is so I can put that number onto some printed flyers. Would I be able to do that with inigo coupon?

Guest Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 yes, but if you only have one number, you won't have any control over how many times it gets used and by whom. Thanks for that, I'll check it out!

Guest Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I looked fairly quickly and I found it VERY original and well executed! Congrats!!! When I clicked on the Size Chart link at the botton.... the chart is the same color as the background ... I could not see it... but other than that (on my glance) I didnt see anything else wrong with it Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spax Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 yes, but if you only have one number, you won't have any control over how many times it gets used and by whom. Yea, so I see! I got it installed ok but wouldn't mind doing the same as you have. Did you alter that from within Ingo Coupon or did you code it in yourself?

dailce Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Man this template is sooo overdone - I've seen sooo many variations of it. It looks good but I'd prefer something oringal. good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Hi, I'm sorry, which template? The index page or the listings? Which part of it do you think could use some variety? The part where items are actually listed? Can you tell me where you have seen the same variations? Do you mean online stores in general or do you mean oscommerce stores? Thank you, Roy Man this template is sooo overdone - I've seen sooo many variations of it. It looks good but I'd prefer something oringal. good luck.
