Pixxi Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hi, After several months of confuscion I've just gone live with my first OSC site - what do you think? It's meant to be usable and efficient rather than pretty - after all, most people who want to buy ink cartridges want to find their cartridges and your prices/delivery costs for them quickly rather than browse all of your products (which they don't need...) ... so I've left a lot of standard functions (like 'Reviews' and 'New Products') out because they're not needed. Any hints on layout/colours/things not working or just general stuff like download times would be very welcome. And if you find any errors or stupid things you can have some special brownie points ... :) Site is here: www.rainbow-inks.co.uk The site is live, so please if you try out the shopping cart please use 'Test' as part of your login/address and a card number of 4111111111111111 (4 with 15 ones) so I can delete the test logins later. Thanks for all of your help. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual1 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 not my cup of tea. i understand the connection between all the color and the name but it doesnt work for me. Looks less than professional for a product dealing with i would think a lot of businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Looks good, but yeah, definately a little to "colorful". Great idea though, good luck with that venture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salesman Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Pixxi, I do not like the background colors that you are using. Most rules covering web site design stress the use of white space. Also, the column widths are a bit wide. I think you should embed more pictures of your products in the main body of the page and do more selling. I do like the credit card icons and the GeoTrust Notice. If the background color were white or a light silver they would look better and play more to the Rain Bow theme that you are trying to create. Sometimes less is more. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperJack Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 NO offense but you might want to hire a designer. Other than that, it looks like standard OSC- nothing more Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbluffingme Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 The colors are a little offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdi-buy.com Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 The only reason I would shop there would be if you carried Lexmark ink and only charged $5 a cartridge brand new instead of the $35 I pay retail. If you could create that miracle, I would buy from you all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos9889 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 when i opened this site my retenas detached lol, Good "ideas" but implemented wrong. Maybe you should have the Background one color and still keep the header multi colored ? just a idea . There are many very useful OsC Contributions BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right?? And remember if you didnt back up its not a big deal, You just have to do everything all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Awful colours. Which isn't a great advert for site selling Ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spib Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I personally think these guys are being a little hard on you. The rainbow backdrop is a little unorthodox but I don't find it offensive. The use of colours is brave but it just about works. Just browsing the rest of this forum will yield some stores which are far more more ugly than this one. Good luck!

SpangieUK Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Hi Pixxi I think it might work better if you lost the colour in the header. I can see what you are trying to get across and I dont find the background of the main site offensive at all, but I dont think it combines very well with the header background. They clash to much. Best of British to you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcache Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 AHHH!! I'm BLIND!!...tone down the colors a bit..I nearly closed it as soon as it opened and I wasn't even looking to buy ink right now...
