maccuda Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 just noticed that the footer has disappeared with the 'powered by oscommerce' and my logo. very strange, must be something with the live support i just installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtonsnow8 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 1146 - Table 'cloggiesdb.ls_techs' doesn't exist select status from ls_techs where status='yes' or status='busy' [TEP STOP] I would say that is your problem with the footer not loading properly. But more important, WAY TOO MUCH WHITE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccuda Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 yes, that is the 'live support' add on that does not seem to work properly but there is no help for that add-on so if anyone has any tips.. the white-look is exactly what i want by the way :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtonsnow8 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well let me rephrase, when you have everything in white without borders, the site just all blends together too much. It is a pain on the eyes to decipher what is suppose to be part of the left menu and what is suppose to be part of the main page. I think the all white could work if you better distinguished each individual box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I agree with the above too much white. I like color but not too busy. other than that looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccuda Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 You have to invest in your store if you hope to make money from it. No one is going to buy from a website which appears "run of the mill" or unprofessional in any way. Yes, a good store logo helps, but only as part of the overall design. Vger I agree, it takes more then just setting up a website. next thing is a proper phone number and more options to pay. Last thing we want to be is "run of the mill", as the products are not this should reflect in our design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrob11 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 You need some SEO stuff to. Take a look at your buttons some have the text on the bottom and some have the text in the centre. For me it is a bit plain add some colour. Better to be looked over than overlooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

multimixer Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi In general it looks nice, but still some work to do, to get a "cleaner" look and feel. Here are some opinions from me: 1) Use just one column, left or right, both of them are confusing. I prefer to have everything on the left. Maybe put a background same fore the complete column, can be in a pale colour 2) Put the "about us" and "information" boxes to the bottom of the page, lie a flat, single line box, each topic beside (not under) the other one. Cancel the yellow stripe under them 3) Make your logo bit smaller and maybe to the left. Would be good to make one that looks more professional 4) put the "my account" etc to the saved space in the top, the date too 5) Put "quick find" and "whats new" to the left (or right, depends what you want). Cancel the yellow stripe 6) Make nicer buttons, maybe just plain without a box or background, or with a background, bout not stroke 7) Make all text little grey, not black 8) make some SEO work, you don't have any meta information.

homewetbar Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 thanks for the tips, at least this is usefull. wish people could be more like this instead of "i dont like the page, too much white" or so. I'll be straight to the point since you asked. What they mean by too white is it's the borders are not defined, there are no borders and it spreads out the wider my monitor is. It looks horrible on my 20" because all the elements are spread across the entire monitor.

maccuda Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I hear what you are saying but the last thing i want is another one of those stores that has 3 columns, 1 left, big mainpage in the middle and one right, I personally think that is not very nice.. Might try to add a very small pale line.. I'll be straight to the point since you asked.
