Guest rhyan Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I still have a number of categories and a couple thousand more products to add. The basic design is complete though... Here it is: The Brass Chest Comments and suggestions are always welcome as I'll continually be adding a few things here and changing a few things there. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Nice looking site. I would suggest that you make your list of products shorter in the categories. Right now, you show 25 products per page. I have to scroll down a long ways to reach all 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Much more manageable now :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twisted Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 If you're going to use a fixed width, can I suggest centering it on the page? It looks nicer like that when using a fixed width...IMO Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stijnj Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Verry nice design,well done ! 1 suggestion : your store logo has colorcode 4D934D the header table color code is 599C59 I would change the header table color to 4D934D aswell Stijn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twisted Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Another suggestion... At 180 x 150 pixels, your category images are not particlularly large....yet they have a fairly big file size, ranging in size from 49 to 63Kb. These take a while to load [not TOO long...but it could be quicker.] For images of these dimensions, I would try and optimise them to get the file sizes down. 20 to 25Kb is a good size ... 30Kb MAX. This will let your page load a bit faster. And as we all know...speed is King! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nicer like that when using a fixed width...IMO Good luck. I centered it and browsed around for a while. It is much easier to look at centered than having to look to the left all the time. Thank you. Verry nice design,well done ! 1 suggestion : your store logo has colorcode 4D934D the header table color code is 599C59 I would change the header table color to 4D934D aswell Stijn Thank you. They both have a colour code of 599C59, however the logo is a PNG image file and Internet Explorer can't display PNG images properly. I've saved the logo as a JPG and now they both display as 599C59.

I appreciate all the suggestions. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest twisted Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Oh yeah.............MUCH better. Great job on the optimising! Looks a whole lot better centered too.[Not that it didn't look good before, but as you say, easier than having to look to the left all the time.] :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Now that is very nice. Probably the best CC design i've seen. Congrats :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
