♥rocket468 Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Looks, good. I like the colors. I am a fan of chemo seo url mod. I would install that. I would also do this mod http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...=155079&hl= I am no expert though. But thats my view.
Guest Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 How do the pics look? do they look cheap? why dont the pics on the major retailers sites look like this when compressed?
♥rocket468 Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 I did not notice that. It looks like you have 1 pic thats being scaled down. I would open up ps and scale it down and upload the sm image. for all my images I would name it with no spaces something like this. pentax-optio-sv-sm.jpg pentax-optio-sv-lg.jpg
Andrew Yuen Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 A few things about your website: You need a logo, Get rid of Choose your language:, Why is the price red but the "$" gray?. Other then that your overall design is simple and easy to navigate but I do not get a sense of what the store sells (cameras) just by looking at the design. Andrew Yuen osCommerce, Community Team
abra123cadabra Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 It's a nice clean template. You should install a thumbnail contribution to reduce filesizes and to optimise the rendering. I'm using imagemagic which was fairly easy to install. There are others that create the thumbnail on the fly instead of storing cache version. You are missing a few essential things to win customer trust: 1) Physical business address (incl. street) 2) No privacy policy 3) No terms and conditions of use 4) No shipping and returns policy abra The First Law of E-Commerce: If the user can't find the product, the user can't buy the product.

Make sure that you always BACKUP the database and the files you are going to change so that you can rollback to a working version if things go wrong.
Guest Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I changed a few things according to recommendations, what do you guys think?
abra123cadabra Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Images look much better now and the load time is good. As for the other points, apart from the address bit, the policies are still missing. They are important. If you don't tell me what you are doing with my private data, can I assume you are selling them to third parties? More important: What are my options if the product is not what I wanted or damaged or not the one I ordered? You need to state how you handle this. Before I get to sending something back, I would actually like to know how you are shipping and what this is going to cost. Take a look at other shops for their policies. In Germany you even have to get the customer agree to the terms and conditions that are the basis for the contract. abra The First Law of E-Commerce: If the user can't find the product, the user can't buy the product.

mwstinson Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I think that the site looks great. As for the suggestions that I see here, everyone is correct. Possibly you could but a logo on the blue part instead of digital camera source. Possibly put shipping info and privacy policy info where select language is. Could possibly be in includes/boxes/languages.php you would put something similar to: <?php $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a><br>' .); new infoBox($info_box_contents); ?> I do not know how your template changes things. but this should be pretty close to what needs to be in there. Looks really good though. I thought this stuff was gonna be easy!! BACK IT UP BEFORE YOU JACK IT UP!!!!
HSMagic Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I'll assume you are working on something as your store is down with several errors in application_top.php
