If anyone's got a free second (or at least 17, since load times are slow), think you could take a quick look at the new website I built.....I've done no testing, cross browser or otherwise, so please be gentle....any comments on load times especially appreciated since I'm worried about all the graphics....
Oh, and I haven't got round to optimising code or stylesheets, and it's not quite W3C compliant, although I'm working towards it....
anyways, URL

very nice. easy to navigate, seemd to work fine with both firefox and IE, loaded the front page in about 3 seconds. and if the stuff you add to your basket goes onto the reciept on the right then thats just cool.
possibly a bit small but i am running 16x12 so that can be discounted i reckon
Madduck ... cheers... the load speed seems okay, but you've probably got some fat pipe sticking out the back of your system ;)
Designed at 16x12 for 1024x768, which always looks clunky, but the furniture pics are only 150x150, so it works out alright.
thanks for the feedback anywayz
That's a sweet looking site :) The paperclipped image has aliased edges, although I'm sure that's due to optimisation.
Looks great here. Using firefox at 1280x800.
*very* nice. you deserve a big pat on the back for that one.
if i could offer a gentle note of criticism, i'd suggest that it's not quite clear enough between the "home" page and "furniture" page. perhaps you need some clearer indication that you're outside the "file"? it looks too much like you're on the first tab when you see the front page right now
Thumbs up from me, very nice / unique design!
Not a bad design, Thumbs up from me aswell :)
Yea nicely done :) Looks alright here at 1680x1050 :)
Wow! Thanks for the feedback...
Duck ... sorry, missed it the first time round, but the receipt is where the shopping cart is going to be listed,
Prop ... Yeah, I have to go back through and fiddle with a few of the images. Some decent cropping should get the clip looking smoother.
Hex .... cheers, and you're right about the seperation of the home and furniture page. I think I'm going to put a couple of pictures with links in the body to get people moving in the right direction.
Anybody find that the furniture and accessory (which aren't there yet doh) pictures are too small? Even at 1024x768 I'm finding the detail is lost....working on larger versions for them all, but it's a pain...
Looks nice, one constructive critisism though.
I reckon it would be slightly better if, when you clicked in the search box, the word search disappears so you dont have to delete it yourself.
Good luck!
Windows bar/page title has etnic instead of Ethnic.
Thats all really rest is pretty good...i need something to buy though!
Don't forget to make sure you set the alt attribute for all of the picture links, and any other images with writing, in case somebody can't or won't see the pictures.
Also, you shouldn't really set "spacer image" as alt text - if there are spacer images, then they would be irrelevant to those that can't see them, so there's no point having that alt text.
Otherwise, it looks pretty good!
htid ... Personally I think it would be a lot better if the search function actually worked AND the word 'search' disappeared when you click the box, but that's just me. Thanks for the tip though, it's the little things that make people think how polished a site is.
George .. Cheers! I missed that one, and probably never would have thought to check.
Mike ... Thanks, working on the alt tags...I've got friends working in disability awareness online field and they're already slating me for not having everything set up for visually impaired users. I thought that website readers for the blind and visually impared picked up on all images, spacer or otherwise, meaning that declaring a spacer image as such means the user can tell what's useful and what's not....I could be wrong though...
very pro.....mst be proud
Now....The words "South East Asian" need tobe a tad larger and clearer, though same type face.
The address on the "stapled on" till receipy (nice touch) MUST be bigger...it's not readable unless you're young!
LOVE the search box..really nice.
Zak ... cheers. That whole first page needs a fair amount of work to polish it up and make sure people know what the site is about. You like the receipt too? Nice huh? It wasn't entirely intended to be legible, although I guess it makes sense if it is...thanks dude
Looks and works fine with me, FF @ 1280x1024
Looks awesome! :)
Hi there
The site looks great, however there is one thing you have overlooked. You need to validate your input from request.form and request.querystring. Also is you are using IIS (which I guess you are) you should really set up your own HTTP 500 error page - this will stop errors giving the baddies any clues about your code.
I'll be glad to answer any questions if you have any!
Best of Luck
Very nice looking, unique. Like it a lot.
Herbert ... thanks for the Error 500 tip, will do. All the form info is validated, but only at DB level, I think it's pretty tight against SQL injection, but I'll be going back through before final launch to make sure it's all secure...
Only way to do it!
I can still get it to fallover though! What I used to do is subclass the request.form and request.querystring objects like this:
Class QueryStringReader
Function ReadValue(strName)
Dim strTemp
strTemp = Request.Form(strName)
strTemp = Replace(strTemp, "<whatever is dodgy>", "")
.....
.....
ReadValue = strTemp
End Function
End Class
Then call this instead of request.querystring etc.....sorry if I am teaching you to suck eggs!
Best of Luck
No, not at all....I see what you mean, I think that most of my concerns are to do with the integrity of the database, which has parsing to prevent pure injection issues. Keeping the code itself never really occured to me as worthwhile since unless someone wants to hack the site (which seems more effort than it's worth tbh) there's no real major security issue....
But it's a valid point and one worth bearing in mind...there aren't that many form elements, so shouldn't take too long to fix...
