bill110 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The dark blue letters on the black background are almost impossible to read. I show broken images on all the info boxes. Your thumbnail images with click to enlarge are actually larger than the enlarged image. Personal prefrence but I wouls remove the text: This product was added to our catalog on Friday 03 November, 2006.(I mean who cares really?)

chooch Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 There are a few osC stores that have a black background and carry it off quite well, but yours is not very attractive. I think the black takes away the emphasis on other aspects of your store because it is so over-powering evident everywhere. Try changing the black background to a softer colour. Upon receiving fixes and advice, too many people don't bother to post updates informing the forum of how it went. Until of course they need help again on other issues and they come running back! Why receive the information you require in good faith for free, only to then have the attitude to ignore the people who gave it to you? There's no harm in saying, 'Thanks, it worked'. On the contrary, it creates a better atmosphere. CHOOCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal prefrence but I wouls remove the text: This product was added to our catalog on Friday 03 November, 2006.(I mean who cares really?) I'll have a look at changing those blue letters to something easier to read. I didn't find it to be to bad at any stage so I didn't consider it. The infoboxes are fixed now. I had been using firefox and couldn't see them. I checked out the site today using IE and lo and behold t\broken image links. I'll also remove that text as soon as I can figure out how. Thanks. I'll also look at changing the images to ones of better quality etc but right now I'm focusing on the site and its functionality to make sure nothing is "broken" per se.

I think the black takes away the emphasis on other aspects of your store because it is so over-powering evident everywhere. Try changing the black background to a softer colour. The original LownoisePC website was done in black. Because of our logo etc having been done that way I decided to stick with it for the time being and the website and it's look is still a work in progress. I apreciate the feedback and I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future when fine-tuning but for the time being I'm still focusing on functionality and broken bits. It's also kind of a geek and "bottled up in my basement fiddling with my computer" kind of website so too light a background is not the best to have. I may look at the option of having the costomer select a theme of their choice at a point in the future. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
