A Cut above the Rest? (Pun Intended) - 3/4/2002 13:20:00
Hello All,
I would like feedback on the basic look and feel of the site. Please be aware that this site is NOT operable in terms of searches and orders. (Some of the links do not work)
I don't want to get too far into the coding of the ASP pages, until I'm comfortable with the structure.

You can add items to the Cart by selecting the 'Add to Cart' button in the Featured Items table.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Looks great. Cart looks good too. Nice and simple, striking look.

Really nice! I like the clean look of white with black and red. Great work.

SC, I agree with all the rest, but also wondered what a very slight hint of gray background on that leftside menu would look like? Almost seems like the there's a tiny (very tiny) bit too much white space in the main area. A light gray box behind the left menu might break that white space up just a bit??

I.M.Learning,
When I first started building the template for this web site, I tried numerous variations of the very suggestion you made and couldn't find a good combination. I tried very muted colors and very bold colors, but it took a lot away from the site and it just didn't seem to fit.
If you have any suggestions, though, I am open to them.
Thanks

Awesome site. I love seeing sites that look well-designed; creates an instant sense of credibility. Wouldn't change a thing.
Well, ok, I'd change ONE thing:
Change "Mapquest Driving Directions" to just plain ol' "Directions."
As a consumer of knives (doesn't THAT sound painful?) I don't give a hoot who serves the map.

Robble,
Thanks for the feedback on the site. The shopping cart is one that I have created. It has been evolving over the past 2 sites I have completed. I am actually hoping to make a 'Template' and offer it for download. (Strictly ASP / Cookie driven)
Big Blue,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have been in a quandry over this one. The reason I left the 'MapQuest' on there is so that the visitor will not be surprised when they are taken into a different web site. This way, they will know what to expect...I hope. If you have an idea to build on this, I would love to hear it.
Thanks again.

Hi Sup,
Maybe you could make the Mapquest/Directions a popup so the viewer doesn't have to leave your site altogether?

Bill,
Thanks for the suggestion. Not to get in a debate about pop-ups (been down that road before), but would you personally find it irritating or helpful in this case?
Just asking from a user point of view.

Bill,
Thanks for the honest input. I may go the 'New Window' route, but I may have to size the New Window to be pretty large, so that the map is easily viewable.
I may also just provide a link to the image of the map...Does anyone know if this would be some sort of 'Copyright Infringement'?

Hi SC,
On the map thing, I was just wondering if you were meaning to capture the image (as I have done on one of my sites) and just post it there, or if you meant to save the URL of the rendered image and hyperlink there as needed (which I don't think you can do).
I'm not sure of Mapquest's thoughts about this, but it seems to me that as long as the image is posted along with the Mapquest logo, and perhaps a link to same, everything would be okay. Truthfully, I never even thought about it.
I also noticed in your profile that you are a drummer.... wish you lived up this way, we could sure use one for our band.  Also a reference to "O Brother, where art thou"... if you're referring to the flick, then it's a reference to one of the most underrated classic flicks of all time (IMHO). Laughed my butt off in that flick not to mention the awesome music track.
Hope some of this helps a bit. As to the maps, I just capture the image and post it.... I hope it's all legal.
