Hi all,
Our Site has been doing pretty well for us, especially in the off season (adirondack furniture). As we gear-up for the spring, would you please have a look and offer comments? How's the speed on your end? (We've done some optimizing, but still have a good deal of images on the home page) Also, do you think the product descriptions are too wordy or ok in length? We want to be thorough, since any product page can, and does, act as a landing page.
We've tried to get the "products tabs" contribution to work, but without much success in my product pages, and besides, if I used tabs activated with java and css, spiders would miss the hidden content, wouldn't they? Other organizational ideas?

Any suggestions or thoughts are welcomed!

Jay


PS... how the latest release of Google checkout's contribution? Please give your thoughts on the poll!

I agree, nice site. I didnt go to far into it though.

I have both google contribs in place right now on a couple stores. I just installed the google sponsered contrib to a new site. I cannot say how well it works since the site is only 2 weeks old and I havent had a sale.

The old contrib works well for my jewelry site which has flat rate shipping and no real bells and whistles. It had a couple kinks on another site with a table rate and it returns funky shipping charges to the osc admin (a little annoying but I havent even tried to work it out) but we still use it on that site and since its charging the customer the correct amount, we're leaving the admin side alone for now.

I dont think I'll be updating the contrib on those sites until I am sure how the google submited contrib functions. Since those sites are working, I would hate to mess them up.

Sorry if that didnt really help, but thats how they are working for me.
