Chin Stuff Store
« on: May 09, 2012, 04:31:58 PM »

http://chinchillaparkplace.ca/chinstuffstore//

I've been working out kinks with my store on and off for a while now. I think it is about perfect?
However... I am missing a few pics on some items (will get to those!), but got most pictures updated on my store.  ::shrug:: I'll get there. If I am missing anything other than photos, let me know.  ;)

I like the elegance of your webpage. The navigation does what I expect it to and it was fun exploring all the interesting products you carry.

I have some suggestions though. On the front page where you are advertising specials I expected the images to take me to the product's pages like the links to the right. You might want to add links to your img tags there.

The text and layout seems just slighty too big on the front page using firefox. You might want to reduce your font sizes slightly. The navigation for multiple pages (for example http://chinchillaparkplace.ca/chinstuffstore//index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3) should actually be just slighty bigger since it gets lost in the page.

I like your logo a lot. It is very distinctive altough somewhat rough on the edges.

You might want to add a toy parts category since the parts listings are a bit scattered and maybe think about how to better organize and filter the types of products you have.

As it stands your site is easy to use and attractive.

Those are all good ideas. I use firefox too but the font looks normal to me and not too big?  ::shrug:: I'll try to attempt to put links on the main page. Last time I did do that, the whole site crashed for 4 hours (don't ask me why - the whole front page was inaccessible. I am NOT a tech savvy person so I had to get support from the host to fix it for me.). I'll see if it will hold for the links though!

Did they say what was wrong with the link?

No, but I have a feeling it has to do with the sql ? something or other? I don't know for sure. They were messing in it for hours though and my website would not work at all. Pictures were gone!

I am taking your suggestions and fixing it right now though - see if it will work out okay. I sure hope so. I have been on eggshells when updating my site since that happened.  :-\

In that case I would think the problem is on their end. I looked at your page on a different computer running Firefox and the text size looked good. I have a feeling there's some display setting that got changed on the other machine. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh well, I changed the text size anyways. I just hope the site stays up and doesn't go down in the next few hours. Crossing my fingers!

Thanks! I did as you mentioned - since it makes perfect sense and included a category for toy parts.  ;) Thanks for all the advice and I really do appreciate it!
