Marg Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Now I get no orders...... sigh.... Is it the site? Would you buy from this site? The Silver Dragon I am getting hits from the old site, but no sales. Used to have sales all day long. Is it not inviting? Please be honest.

Urbluffingme Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I like the site. I would not think twice of buying from that site. Could there be something in the transition from the old site to the new one that is alienating your customers? I chose a product, put it in my cart, created an account, and went all the way up to the last confirmation page. Everything seemed fine. Have you received any new, unique visitors since you changed to oscommerce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marg Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yes, but only a couple. It's a mystery to me. The old site had sales all day, every day. I'm feeling like I may have made a mistake on one hand, but on the other, the site was too big for an access database to handle easily and quickly. The site would lag and the database kept corrupting. Sigh... I'll wait and see, I suppose. I haven't changed the domain name of the old site over yet. Maybe that will help. Now there is simply a link stating to go to our new site. Maybe people don't want to make that effort? hehe Yikes! Marg Thanks, urbluffinme, for checkin' it out.

TerryK Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Marg, I agree with Kevin. Your site looks very professional -- in fact, a lot better than the last time I looked at it, though I can't remember exactly when that was... If it's any consolation, my sales have decreased in the past few months too, for reasons that aren't absolutely clear to me. My existing shopping cart has NOT been working really well (which is why I'm upgrading to osC!) but even phone calls have dropped off recently, and my phone used to ring steady day and night. Your site looks excellent. I'd not hestitate to buy from you either, based on the professionalism that comes across. Good luck!

Urbluffingme Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 what is your old domain? Also, I am not totally clear. Are you getting the same amount of unique visitors but no sales. Or are you just not getting visitors at all? And if you are getting unique visitors, where are they coming from? And is this the same way you received visitors with the old site?

Urbluffingme Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I have to say that I TOTALLY like the new site much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomer Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I like the site very much! You really need to get the old domain name pointing to the new cart. You would really be suprised at what keeps people from clicking through. Any little incontinuity really freaks people out. Good luck. I'll be back to buy something for my daughter soon.

zoomer Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 BTW - I found an error in your HTML that is screwing up the status bar. <a ONMOUSEOVER="window.status='? Our Policies ?' ; return true" OnMouseOut="status='? The Silver Dragon Jewelry ?';return true" should be OnMouseOut="window.status..." - instead of just status just reads "Our Policies" most of the time.

Marg Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 Thank you, Kevin, Craig, & Terry. I was beginning to think my hard work was for not... I changed the window.status (Thanks!) And the old store's dns should be active tomorrow. Thanks for your input Marg :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥monte22 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I like the layout of your site, but I am not too crazy about the colors. IMO I think that a difference pallate of colors that flow together a little better would help you. my 0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marg Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 el Yikes! I took the colors directly from a color wheel, so they ought to look good together. Anyone else of the same feeling? If this is not pleasing to one, must be the same for others? Maybe this is why sales have dropped off? I don't see the color scheme as bad so I can only go by others. Please tell me! Thanks Marg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottage-rose Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I like your colors. I think they suit the customer your items appeal to. I don't see anything wrong with the site, I think it is very well done. I don't know what the problem might be, but I don't think it is the look of the site.

Marg Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 Thanks, Shari I am fond of the colors and feel they are effective for my client's customer. Anyone else with an opinion? I am beginning to get slack from my client.... I have looked over the code for the search engines (meta tags) and can't find anything amiss, I still am not seeing the site on google after a lot of hard work on the tags. I must be missing something. Anyone? Suggestions? Marg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
