Fabric Store

[stonjie]

Thanks for looking.

I have tested this in IE7, Firefox, Opera, and briefly in Safari (all Win). While they each show a little different, it is mostly acceptable. I am getting caching problems in Firefox & Opera. The thumbnails work fine in IE but not in Firefox. Any Ideas?

I didn't count the number of font and font variations, but I think there are far too many!

 

Do you really need more than one type of button?

 

Despite the long list of contributions, you don't appear to have sorted out your shipping yet!

 

Your SSL has a minor problem. I had the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items" problem.

 

For your newsletters, I suggest that one place to checkout is:

The fonts that I have used everywhere are:

Verdana, Arial, sans-serif

And for the CSS Buttons: Lucida handwriting, Lucida caligraphy, cursive

I did this to make the buttons different to the normal text.

As for the header, only two fonts were used, Lucida caligraphy & Times New Roman. Since this is the Shop logo (and has been for 20 years) I couldn't change it.

 

So in all I have three fonts

One for the logo

One for the css Buttons

And one for the rest of the site.

Is this too many?

i kept on seeing this on many feedback on my store pages

Not for international yet, because the majority of our work comes from New Zealand. On our shipping page it states: International Air Mail freight rates are as follows:

These shipping areas have not yet been setup on this store.

As it is not that important just yet.

Strange that was working yesterday, I'll have a look at that.

Will do.

 

Once again, is there a way to fix the thumbnails to get them all to show in firefox?

[stonjie]

AH.

SSL fixed. Google analytics needed redoing for SSL. Strange how it was working yesterday.

Hi,

 

Read the other comments and checked your site out tonight.

 

I used IE6, Firefox 2.0.0.7, and Opera 9.23 and found they presented your site very similar except that my IE6 put an ugly dark border around the buttons (I see light blue borders for FireFox and Opera appears a couple shades darker for the borders.). I didn't notice any abnormal differences on how the browsers worked on the site. Your thumbnails seemed equal in the three browsers. No problems with ssl on the log-in. (I have different problems with google on ssl on different days too.)

 

I am not trying to be mean or to hurt your feelings, but please make your "Add to Cart" button look like the other action buttons on the lower half of the page. It really doesn't fit in very well.

 

I am not the type of person who would normally be inclined to visit any fabric store. I have little knowledge of your products save what I've heard from friends (female). I found your navigation was easy enough that it didn't take me long to find "potential gifts" for some friends.

 

P.S. Your little scissors on select box headers are cute.

I've changed the add to cart, more info, checkout buttons back to CSS buttons. 2 people saying they don't like it, means I probably should change it.

 

Feel free to get these "potential gifts." I'm pleased you like the store.

thank you
