AdamPGT Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Well I've finally got most everything fixed an customized, aside from a couple of things which you're probably notice. In any case I wanted to get some outside opinions and make sure that it navigates well and no one can find any problems that need attention. I appreciate the help and any feedback! http://store.gforceauto.com --Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phooey04 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Good work Adam. Your site is clean with some nice design elements (one of the better logos I've seen in awhile). Nothing serious, but I have a couple of suggestions: 1. Increase the font size of the links in your banner (just one or two points). 2. Increase the size of your Buy Now buttons. Think of the button as an advertisement and draw attention to it. It's not only a functional button, but an enticement - Buy Now! Buy Now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamPGT Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 I will definately take #2 into consideration. :D The first one I'm kinda partial to my 8pt Silkscreen pixel font ;) But I might be able to find a similar font that's a little bigger. --Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless you plan to purchase all the items from you shop yourself, you should listen to others input. You may really like one thing, but if it makes it hard for others to use your store then you WILL be stuck with all the products in the end.

AdamPGT Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Well unless you plan to purchase all the items from you shop yourself, you should listen to others input.?

Did I not say I was going to look into some other fonts? In any case it would be no harder to use than the rest of the site which is in 10pt Verdana....8pt SilkScreen (which is all capital letters) is barely smaller. At 1024 x 768 the most commonly used screen resolution it's no smaller than the text I'm typing in this box right now. I appreciate negative feedback, but you don't need to come across like that either. ;) --Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostxpinoy Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I agree with the banner font. It needs to be a tad biger. The way it is, doesn't seem to match the rest of your site. So with that said, either make the font size in the banner bigger or make the font of the rest of your site smaller. Just my 2 cents. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodo Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Bad link: http://www.gforceauto.com//customers/ The button contrast color yellow works very well. I'm not sure I agree with the need to make them bigger, although it is a very interesting issue. At work we have been debating size and also whether a more tactile "3d" button is more "enjoyable" to click than flat. Even if flat is more stylish. Good clean look.

AdamPGT Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Oh I know about the customer part....still working on that. Are there any good contributions that would do what I need? Also, I've changed around some things with the product info page. Here's an example link: http://store.gforceauto.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=2894 What do you think? --Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodo Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Like the tech note thing. Is that a mod, contrib or hardwire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamPGT Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Both the Tech Notes and HP & Torque boxes were done using the "Add New Field" contribution. Although, I changed some things to work with the BTS. I'll post a list of contributions I used as soon as I'm completely finished. :D --Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryK Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Nice design, but I agree with the comments about the font size for links in the banner being too small. I'm using 800x600 resolution and it really strained my eyes to read them.

AXM Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Nice site. I like how you changed it from the normal OSC-format. That HP/torque box and the tech notes is different. Good feature which I haven't seen on many automotive websites. But from what I've seen from being in the same industry and checking out all the OSC automotive sites getting ideas from mine...you are definately in the top 5. And yeah you really need to consider the other's suggestion when it comes to design. I know most of our customers have younger eyes and seeing 8pt font is not going to be a problem...but what about... Parents of these up n coming 16-17 car enthusiasts, grandparents of theirs looking for a gift they've been *hinted* about for x-mas, etc. Keep that in mind.
