Help Test My Site

[hmiles619]

Ok, I've just finished up a section of my site. Anyone want to give me some feedback?

A few notes before you do...

-This gallery will eventually be inserted into my new photography site, so around the gallery won't be quite as boring as it looks now.

-I'm planning on matching the "add to cart" and "view cart" buttons so that they look similar.

Play around with a few things. Add a few pics to the cart...try to break it. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your help, Here's the link.

how do you get back to your main site from there

[Dustin00whoop]

My personal opinion, but, I don't really see the need for the new window to pop up when I add a pic to the cart. I'm not a wiz at this type of stuff, but is it possible to just have it go back to the thumbnail page after you click add to cart? I just think that would make it a little more user friendly. They can always change the quanity when they view their cart.

id put a link on that page goin back to your main page. jmo but mine doesnt seem to have any credit tonight

yeah, the gallery is going to be a part of my main site so there won't be a link necessary...this is just the individual gallery part

[Curly06]

well i cant from your link to your site. didnt know if it was supposed to be that way

[hmiles619]

i don't understand, can you say it again

[Curly06]

like when i click on the link posted i cant get back to your original site. hollismiles.com just think you should be able to go back to your front page

[Thisjeffguy07]

i like how the last page in the gallery is just one pic of a guy looking at you... it's like he's trying to stare you down and make you buy something :cool:

[hmiles619]

That's what I was saying...this gallery will be in my page...there will be a header and a footer around it...there will be no need to go back to my page, cuz this will be my page.

should i make one of those little bubble quotes that says "buy something"

[Dustin00whoop]

Are you understanding what I'm saying, Oreo? And if you disagree with my thoughts, I'd be interested in hearing your rationale.

[hmiles619]

Are you understanding what I'm saying, Oreo? And if you disagree with my thoughts, I'd be interested in hearing your rationale.

Nope, I don't disagree at all...I was trying to find a way to do this to see if it were even possible before I replied

[hmiles619]

it'll probably take a little while to find, and I don't know if it's possible. I think that the cart items are stored at paypal, not on my site, so paypal has to be contacted every time they add to the cart.

[Dustin00whoop]

Ah, well that would make it a little difficult. But if nothing else, I would suggest having your page revert back to the thumbnails after they click "add to cart".

[Thisjeffguy07]

so you're not using that site you had the dance girl gallery pics for sale?

[hmiles619]

naw, they take 18%...paypal only takes 2%

[Thisjeffguy07]

naw, they take 18%...paypal only takes 2%

lol... just charge 16% more

[hmiles619]

or make 16% more

[Thisjeffguy07]

that's just gready... lol ;)

[Thisjeffguy07]

i'm goin to bed... :zzz:

[WesTxAg]

i definitely liked it...a few minor changes would be nice, but im major impressed...wish i knew enough to pull something like this off

[Vlyrock]

Worked for me....good stuff. :gig:

[hmiles619]

Ok, I've finished the next step...details still need to be fixed. Here's my list so far.

-Bump up the gallery to get rid of the blank space above the gallery and below the menu.

-Change the buttons so that they match.

-Change a few fonts.

Anyone see anything that I'm missing?

Here's the newest link....

[hmiles619]

oh, and yes i know that the menu doesn't work

[hmiles619]

no opinions on the updated version? :spy:

[Thisjeffguy07]

looks like it's coming together nicely

[hmiles619]

looks like it's coming together nicely

that's not productive...i need constructive criticisms

[Thisjeffguy07]

that's not productive...i need constructive criticisms

ok... how bout this... why can't i buy two different sizes of the same pic at the same time... the little green radio button only lets you select one of the sizes...

[hmiles619]

shut up :mad:

[Thisjeffguy07]

:laugh:

[Thisjeffguy07]

you see my fighting squirrel pics?

[hmiles619]

yup

[hmiles619]

you should've trapped them

[Thisjeffguy07]

you should've trapped them

i had a trap in my backpack... i just didn't think to use it

[hmiles619]

:rep:

[Thisjeffguy07]

you gonna get more galleries on there... i wanna see what it looks like with several of them :spy:

[hmiles619]

yeah, i'll have one up in a few minutes if you wanna see it

[Thisjeffguy07]

cool

[hmiles619]

uploading as i type

[Thisjeffguy07]

how long does it take to upload a gallery?

[hmiles619]

it was a big gallery, but they're up...i just have to add the titles

[Thisjeffguy07]

i liked the way it looked with one gallery, but with two... :throwup:

[hmiles619]

really? I don't mind it at all...you do know that this page isn't my main page right?

[Thisjeffguy07]

oh did i put :throwup:... i meant :gig:

[hmiles619]

suure...honestly though?

[Thisjeffguy07]

looks better with more than one gallery on there... i'd still change the orange to maroon, and what are you gonna do to organize it when there are millions of galleries?

[hmiles619]

I'll only have 4 or 5 galleries up at the same time....

I won't have any Aggie stuff up there because I don't think i can sell anything that i take with the media pass...

the orange will change eventually, but that's low on my list right now...as long as it's working I have more to worry about

[Thisjeffguy07]

cool... so what are you currently working on as your top priority?

[AgDrumma07]

You two need to get a room :stupid:

[Thisjeffguy07]

[hmiles619]
