SSL works - get a green "success" type warning telling me it's 128 bit - it's in your face if a bit garish

 

images are badly magled - use one of the image contribs to use the right size images for the context. Resized images just scream "home-brewed" site to me. Might speed the site up a bit as well.

Here is a Good one probably one of the Best. I don't use it anymore just because I wanted 3 different images and went with This One

 

The 1st one is probably the easiest and just what u need . You can always compress them using your imaging software if they are jpg's before uploading them. just don't over do it

It loaded fine but;

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/vhosts/terfex.com/httpdocs/index.php:36) in /home/httpd/vhosts/terfex.com/httpdocs/includes/header_tags.php on line 13

1) Your main page says you are in Texas but that annoying stats counter (my computer keeps deteling coookies from it) says;

CountID : terfex

URL: http://www.terfex.com/

Location: NewZealand

Category: E-commerce

Date: 25-Jun-2004 13:15

 

2) If you click on your broken stats counter image at the bottom it takes you off your site :(

3) Your product descriptions all have ? marks throughout them?????

4) Your all catagories link at the bottom is broken.

5) So is all products

6) More ?'s

7) Your affiliates links take you off your site :( They need to open in another window, not the same one.

8) Emails from your company come through with the display name "Duncan Jones", change it to your company name.

 

For a stock store and doing no design you have certainly taken care of the other stuff such as your information box (but your "how to order" and "help desk" are the same page. You are one of the few stores I have seen who seems like they have tried to make it easier for the new customer to find their way around. I, as a customer, would like to see a little more contact information such as mailing address/phone number/ect.

Can I steal your help desk????

Shipping warehouse is in Texas, office is in New Zealand. Cheers tho, the fact you think its annoying is enough for me, the counter is gone now.

This is VERY weird... Me, a friend from america and another friend from new zealand see the proper signs (in descriptions they are ? signs) eg -

Copyright ? 2004 Terfex.com

 

Maybe you have a different encoding or something??

 

4) Your all catagories link at the bottom is broken.

5) So is all products

Cheers, Fixed.

 

7) Your affiliates links take you off your site :(  They need to open in another window, not the same one.

8) Emails from your company come through with the display name "Duncan Jones", change it to your company name.

Also both fixed.

Peter, yes you can steal my helpdesk, thanks alot for going through my site, its amazing how much you miss when your the one making it. I have concentrated more on helping the customer than design, modifying the way you check out and make new accounts which will hopefully make conversion rates higher. I personally see nothing wrong with the standard OSC layout and many internet shoppers will not know it is "Stock".

It was at the top of every page.

 

I am still getting statscounter cookies. You might want to go through your code again.

 

Tell me how to find out my encoding and I will tell you what I have. My computer is set for US with Canadian language, western european something????

I was getting the ?'s too.. But I went into IE settings and view > encoding and selected "Auto-Select" and now it all shows up fine... Not sure if this helps but might help.. But, this might cause confusion to a shopper who wouldn't know how to change the "encoding"....

That worked for me, but I don't think you want to tell people to change their encoding on their computer.

Well Duncan - there is no problem per say - I just get annoyed at people asking to have the same basic crap reviewed when they have only gone so far as to install the site and a couple of cointributions...

 

25,000 people before you have done the same friggin thing, leaving me wondering why yours is so special it deserves review.

 

Sorry to put it so blunt, but when you can actually make osc "your own", then you have something to seek praise about. Reviewing the work of 25 other people who wrote the program and the contributions? It's been done. To death.

With all due respect, give the guy a break! Some of are new to this, so a little praise from more experienced members of the community means a lot to us. We read it, digest it and work from there.

 

So, we can't all strip OSC down and rework it how we would like, but we can make the smaller, more subtle changes that WE like the look of. We know it's not going to be everyones cup of tea or up to the standards other members are expecting, but we all have to start somewhere. Didn't you?

 

The "basic" design of the site is not always what we ask to review. Colour schemes, content, spelling mistakes are sometimes picked up on and I know personally how difficult it is to see mistakes made in ones own copy.

 

All we ask for is a little patience...please!
