Progress Made
To whatever readers I may have left, I feel like I have made some significant progress on my eCommerce site this weekend. All of my volunteers have now been sent eMails, and I await their responses.
Largely, the progress was in designing little icons for use in identifying different features. I did 18 designs. Fortunately, I was able to “recycle” and rework some icons I had created about 10 years ago. Well, in the end, 1 was “recycled” with only minor changes, but the other 17 were basically new, but based on my previous icons.
I also reworked the page so that another section (which will be universal across all pages) is saved in a separate file, so all I need do is edit the file and the change will be reflected on all pages on the site.
Once I get some feedback, I think I’ll be able to start working on additional pages! I’m reasonably happy with the current design, so hope it pans out. Of course, some tweaking may be in order, but I’ve been designing the site such that universal changes should be easy to make, assuming I’m not forgetting anything.
I have finished answering your questions. However, I received a failure notice when I tried to reply to your message. Where do you want me to send the answers?
That’s odd. Please try again. If it still doesn’t go through, I’ll eMail you tonight with a different address. (Don’t have access to my eMail on this computer.)
I sent the answers again. It still didn’t work. Sorry Dan. I’ll look for your email later. I’ll send the answers as soon as you give me a new address.
I sent you an eMail from another address this afternoon. Thanks!
Once again, I sent you my answers. All looks well at the moment. For some reason the paragraph structure of my email is showing up as being altered in my sent mail box. Hopefully it is still readable. If not, tell me and I will try to send the message again.
Keep the good work.. Hope to see eCommerce site launch soon ..
Thanks!
Dan:
I have answered your email. You have done a great job. However, my email may have disappointed you a little.
Just treat yourself as a shopper. What would you like to see. Information or products? The point is to get their money out of their pocket. Not too much about giving them the knowledge about the products, which they can get from somewhere else as well.
The information is important. However, it is worthless, if it doesn’t sell.
It’s not like a blog, which people are seeking information from. E-commerce site is all about making money, but not knowledge learning. Make your shopper unable to resist to pay.
You will need to spend time on marketing your e-commerce site. Your goal is to make your site on the top spot in your niche. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing it with me.
Thanks for taking time to preview my site. I look forward to reading your eMail later. (Don’t have access to my eMail from this computer.)
