andy_1984 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 i like it. i always like simple, clean looking sites without flashing and throwing things in your face :) though it looks unfinished. the "add to cart" button just screams oscommerce, shopping cart and whole checkout procedure still looks oscommerce. id try doing a bit more styling so it doesnt look like oscommerce. the way that page numbers(Displaying 1 to 30 (of 66 products) Result Pages: 1 2 3 [Next >>] ) could be worked on a little. they seem to merge in to the background if you get what i mean :blink: :thumbsup: i would add a lightbox/fancybox addon to the pop up images in product_info.

whitewolfspirits Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 I just used the manufacturer section and put in the product type. Then I edited what it said in the english.php file. White Wolf Spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burt Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Why not use 2.3.1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewolfspirits Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Why not use 2.3.1 ? When I started the store, I downloaded the most recent software. I have too many customizations to change it now. Thanks :) White Wolf Spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 That's a good enough reason. Maybe you can try to move away from the very "oscommercey" look that you have going on? If you compare yours to a standard osc2.2 install, there isn't a great deal of difference (other than colour). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_1984 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 i dont like your most recent changes to the blue bars, what you had before was a lot nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewolfspirits Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 i dont like your most recent changes to the blue bars, what you had before was a lot nicer I liked it better too. I went back to the blue bars. I kind of like the oscommerce look. It is clean cut and neat. Trying to come up with some design ideas within that look. Thank you!

chooch Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 whitewolfspirits, From what I can see it is really very stock oscommerce with just some minor graphical changes. To take the look of your store away from the stock oscommerce look you do not need to make full use all available options but using just a few can make huge improvements: - I would suggest you using only one column and then to add fixed width with an outer background shade or image - Also, I would suggest you adding an SEO contribution - Finally, you should re-think the logo and header image area. You can always keep the same concept but just play around with various images and sizes I could list more suggestions but these are the main ones... I wish you success in your business :) Chooch Upon receiving fixes and advice, too many people don't bother to post updates informing the forum of how it went. Until of course they need help again on other issues and they come running back! Why receive the information you require in good faith for free, only to then have the attitude to ignore the people who gave it to you? There's no harm in saying, 'Thanks, it worked'. On the contrary, it creates a better atmosphere. CHOOCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_1984 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 im still not feeling it with the left and right patters on the ends of the blue bars, they were nicer just rounded. i feel like im still waiting for a top and bottom edge to appear.
