Guest bennyuk Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I've been looking after thebronzeroom.com for a few years now and its working well, but it feels old and outdated. So the proposed new look can be seen at www.groovypresents.com Its using CCv4 and is meant to be a bit more WOW. However, I'd like to hear what people think before we go live. Current (old) site is www.thebronzeroom.com (live store) Proposed New site is www.groovypresents.com (test store) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very contemporary and I wouldn't have guessed it was based on the CubeCart platform. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennyuk Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks T. It's not my sole design. The client provided a purchased template that was meant for another shopping cart and I have customised it a little and then tried to get it to work with CubeCart. It was a test to see how much CubeCart could handle. I thnk the megamenu at the top works well. On the downside using timthumb script to dynamically resize images an the fly is not recommended in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What impact do you think having one solid images for your product summaries on the home page will have on SEO? - ie.: Why havent you used CSS to style the product summary text and the price label? Also, wont this be difficult for the client to update? I agree, the site does look nice though! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, wont this be difficult for the client to update? There aren't any images used for text, it all uses cufon to display the fonts, which is fine with SEO. A good test is to view the page with a text reader like http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/lynx/lynx_viewer.php All the text and prices come straight from cubecart as per usual and is updateable the same as all normal cubecart stores.

Guest Ryanloop Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Good afternoon @ bennyuk ... I was trying to see your websites, but when I see your test store, I asked for a password and a user ... I guess they are making some changes or something like that Speaking about "thebronzeroom" is incredible, I love the design ...
