circlesquare Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hi Charly... First thing i saw was that you have the menu twice - once horizonatally and also vertically - is it necessary to repeat this? I'm not a big fan of the black, but maybe its a personal thing - its not that friendly? Do you need the Languages box if there is only one language? Its still a bit 'standard' osCommerce layout..... maybe see what infoboxes you could remove...? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misohoni Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 too much text, not easy to read. break it up in paras, but headings and the stylesheet more. cut down the page hieght (perhaps less news) Check out my own Oscommerce page - www.misohoni.com/catalog/ Good luck with it!

dburchm1 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I like your site. Makes me want to buy something. The only thing I noticed is your bread crumb trail goes from white to dark blue on the black. You might want to change that to stay white and just go to underlined. Cool site!

mazza Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Since you seem to be one of the few enlightenet ones that fare about the loading speed of their site: - get big images cotribution so you can show seperate thumbnail. Images will also look better. - Turn on your gzip compression. if your host does not support it, change host. on a sidenote the top >> catalog (in breadcrumb) is always confusing especially as they lead to the same page. This is of course not your fault (OSC default insanity), but needs to be fixed nonetheless.

Guest Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 From a female point of view (we are the biggest internet users), I wouldn't stay. The site is too black & busy on the front page. Also the scrolling best sellers is very distracting. Maybe you could introduce the yellow you have in the writing below some how to achieve a better colour balance. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 ANYBODY....knows how to get the "center" of the default page, to look like this one?: http://www.spotit.com.au/ Where the products and short descriptions, with an add to cart link/button is in the center of the default page. I've tried looking and looking for a mod...including randomize, and trying to alter some infobox mods...still can't get the look....So I've just been messing around with this thumbads box.....but it doesn't have a buy now button...and I'm a newbie...and don't know how to add one...but I really don't want a "box"....I like the way the products in the center are laid out like the site mentioned above. Thanks.....begging for help / suggestions! Rick http://www.shopabundle.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
