Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Want some advice from fellow axiomites

Well, recently, I've been kept furiously busy designing and building a new e-commerce web page for a client, and I'm happy to say its done now.

If any of you are web developers out there, I'm using yahoo stores but am using manual HTML tags for each of the products because I haven't gotten around to make a RTML template yet.



Anyways, the web site as it stands is complete. I have to add a credit card logo (and some other logos) next to "Buy 365 a year!" and "100% guaranteed!" and SSL encryption, but that's about it.

I just wanted everyone's opinion about the website. The client is very happy and I am too about how it turned out, but I'm afraid we've had tunnel vision about the whole thing and may have missed some little details here and there to really make the site look better.

This is only my 3rd e-commerce website, and it's the only one where I've really been focused on making the graphics good, simple, and clean and its the only "high volume" site that I've completely developed in HTML. One of the others is a low volume website that the customer updates with frontpage, and the other uses an opensource PHP application that I hacked and tweaked.

So, if you have any comments about what to change, what to add, what to take away, I'd be very thankful for them. I just want to know what you guys think of it in terms of navigation, looks, layout, etc.

Thanks a lot guys! I look forward to everyone's responses.

The website is: www.armorvenue.com

P.S. If any of you guys are looking at the meta tags, I have them all set up in the yahoo database and linked, but the client hasn't gotten around to adding them all.

In my brief look over the site, but it looks nice and clean and easy to navigate.

Yep, looks real nice. Two minor suggestions :

1. I think the plural of "armor" is "armor", not "armors". The detailed selection links on the left refer to "armors".

2. If you click on "Roman Armors" it looks like there isn't quite enough room for the "Roman Products" image and maybe too much room for the "Roman Armors" text string.

I normally find a lot more to complain about on a web site; this was pretty good

Dan, it's very attractive and easy to navigate, and I can't think of any significant criticism. At first I thought that clicking on the armor should give an enlarged view, instead of only a description, then I clicked the armor again on the description page and got the enlargement. Maybe have both the description and enlarged view with just one click?

I especially want to congratulate your client on referring to "armors" (just kidding, John).

like others have said. nice and easy to navigate.

i would like to see a larger close up when clicking on the image. when you click on the image it gets maybe 20 percent larger. when browsing other sites i like to see the image take up the full screen.

otherwise very nice looking site.

Needs more codpieces.
