Hi,

 

I only had a quick look:

 

Why have you got a languages box with only one language in?!I would delete it.

I see you have added the category box mod from the basic design pack, I prefer it much more with the separator lines in between each cat - it's hard to distinguish which main cat your in at the mo (the subs and main cats are not really separated)

Why is there a conversion calculator when you can select the different currencies anyway?

I don't like category item counts but that just personal.

 

I'm thinking also of implementing the 3images contribution - did you have any issues with it? recommend it? is there an easy populate contribution that works with it or do you not use Ep.

 

Hope it helps a little!

Your store looks very stock osc.

 

I do like the header logo as it fills out quite nicely but adding fixed width will improve the layout more. Also, you need to play around with the image pop-up page because the full image is not on display - I had to manually make the pop up bigger to see the full image.

FYI

your popup_image worked for me (IE6) unless i missed something

Thank you so much for giving me all this feedback. I will go ahead and remove the languages box. And I agree with you about the separator lines in between each category. I have being trying to add that for quite a while and having hard time trying to figure out how to do it. I have selected only a few different currencies and that is why I have the conversion calculator added in for other countries with other currencies that are not in the selection.

 

I have no issues at all with this 3images contribution and I find it very useful when I have a few more photos to add in. I did not do much reseach when I install in this contribution. There might be other better contribution than this. What is EP.?

Hi Chooch,

 

So sorry! before going to bed lastnight, I check my feedback and I don't see any. Only when I log in to my PC today at 2pm then I see your feedback. I do not mean to ignore any feedbacks given to me. Thank you so much for making the effort to check my website and also in providing me with your valuable comments. If there is something wrong with my Pop up image, I will sure work on it. Thank you again.

[Becki]

Chooch is correct - the window isn't long enough, you should be able to change that in popup_image.php. I think there should be a value of '60' some where try changing that to 100 or so. It might work. Worked for me anyway!

I have tried to change it to 100 and it still gives me the same pop-up and I even tried 200 just to see what happen and it is still the same. :P . At the end, I found out that it is due to my large photos. From my 3 images per item, I have a total of around 1500 photos that I need to resize. :'( . I'm going to do that for this few days. Trixie

I added a contribution to my pop up page to display a close button and it fixed the window size problem for me too.

Something to think about before resizing the images.

Oh! my goodness! That is great! It will save me a lot of time doing the resizing. Can you pls direct me to this contribution? Thank you so much! Everybody are so wonderful in this forum.

Sorry,

That would have been nice had I added the link in the first time.

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...popup_image.php

I am pretty sure this is the one. Only one file to upload and no mods. so its easy to back up your original and try it.

Thank you so much! I have installed the popup_image contribution and it really help a lot of my images. :D Now, it looks much better. Thank you again

From your website:

 

"I will not responsible for any item damage cause by freight transit. However, in the event you are not satisfied with your purchase..."

 

Will you accept an exchange in case of damage, or won't you?

 

A buyer is responsible for getting funds into your hand. A seller is not going to ship without getting the funds, right?

 

Conversely, a seller is responsible for getting the product into the buyer's hands. Why should a buyer give money for damaged goods? The freight company has been sub-contracted by the seller, again making damage the seller's responsibility.

 

If you are that worried about damage to shipped items, add an extra $1.35 or so to each order's S&H fee, so that you can pay for insurance with the shipper.

Hello,

 

Nice, I would remove/replace the TAG (mouse over) of your header

I looked at your site and like it! Just a comment: I clicked on the Home and FAQ at the support box. You have to fill in the text there or remove the links from the support box...

Heya! You've got a great start to your site!

 

1 - I'm in dialup. It took 20 seconds before anything would show ... which started with your banner. And 30 seconds before the rest of the page would load.

 

2 - Your banner - when you place your mouse over it, you see text shows which currently says OsCommerce. This is defined by the alt=" " tag for the image. It would be best to change the text to something along the lines of your store name - a keyword padded description of the store.

 

3 - Love the outfits! Wish I had the money ... *sighs* LOL

 

4 - Contact Us page: add physical address, phone number, email address (in case the form doesn't work - email doesn't have to be clickable), hours of operation. Let's folks know you are a serious business. (see next point also)

 

5 - Your About Us page ... break up the one large paragraph into several mini ones - makes it easier to read. Copy your store mailing details and the info about this being a new site into the Contact Us page.

 

6 - Since you have so many images, you may want to consider installed Image magic contrib - which does something to the file sizes ... sorry, can't think of the proper techy terms right now (brain fart LOL).

 

7 - Just make sure you include any and all possible product description for each product: fabric types, various style uses, washing care, colors availabe, sizes available, etc etc.

 

Great site! Great product line!

:blink: My return policy is kind of confuse! Actually what I meant is that I will not be responsible for damage cause by freight transit. Customers are encourage to purchase insurance so that they can claim from the post carrier. My acceptance for an exchange or refund are due to product defective (tears, color deficiency or stained) and also for wrong sizing, wrong color and so on. Thank you so much for your feedback :lol: and I have already make the changes.

I'm so glad that you like my site. I would like to thank you for spending your precious time in going thru my site and also

to give your valuable feedback.

1). 20 sec for the banner to load and 30 sec for the rest is too long. I will work on the banner and also all my images.

2). I have changed the default name of the mouse over to my website name.

3). I'm so happy that you like what I have in my site. Specially for you and since I have added the discount coupon code to my site and have I not use it yet. I would like to take this opportunity to create a discount code and offer you a discount of 40% of all your 1st purchases from my site. If you are interested, let me know. :lol:

4). That is a very good suggestion and I have already added all the information to my contact us page.

5). I have break down a few paragrahp of my about us page and it does look nicer and easier to read. Thank you

6). Yes! I do plan to resize all my images as I believe that it will affect my loading time. So far, I have about 1500 photos loaded in my site and each picture is around 60kb.

7). Yes! I plan to add in all the product information like washing care instruction, fabric types and so on on my product knowledge page.

 

I really appreciate every single feedback & suggestion from you. Thank you! Thank you so much!

You should get a set width mod and make the width as wide as your banner. Other than that I would say its prety good! You might want to add an affiliate mod too so you can gt sites to link to you.

[Guest]

Trixie,

 

Thank you for the discount coupon offer (I have that contrib added too!) - but I don't have the money

right now! *sniffles*

 

But I have bookmarked your site for when I do *wiggles eyebrows*
