Did you notice anything NEW today?  Wink

Well, we’ve finally switched to the new design tonight.
However, we still need everyone’s help in testing the site and reporting problems to us.
Please email us about everything you notice – bugs, inconsistencies, broken links, spelling mistakes and everything in between.
Nothing is set in stone, so your ideas and suggestions for improvements are welcome too.

Please note, we didn't touch My Account area much.
My Account redesign is coming next, so stay tuned for updates. Thanks!

Wow... so far everything looks great and the front page is very easy to navigate and very pleasing to the eye.Love how you caqn replacement for gifts.  I see now why it is so important to identify if your items are gift appropriate  for male / female.  I need to go through my listings and make sure I have them marked properly.

I LOVE that the Pinterest button is on top.  I get a lot of views through Pinterest.. Everyone needs to get an account there Smiley

Off to snoop around some more!

Cheers

The site looks great. My only comment would be that, in my opinion, the background (bright flowers) competes with the main banner on the home page. Do I look at the flowers? Do I look at the banner? I find my eyes are bouncing back and forth. Maybe a quieter backdrop? I feel it would bring more focus to the banner & shop products. I understand that the My Accounts page is still under construction? I see that my homepage banner is cut off. If this is going to change I will wait. Otherwise please let me know if I need to create a new one. Still working on getting my shop set up properly with photo's & info, etc.

Thanks! The "newbie" (& sometimes perfectionist...LOL)  Smiley

Hi ArtistbyNature,

Nothing's wrong with being a perfectionist  Wink

Background wasn't meant to compete with the page content. I suspect that the homepage background image (bright flowers) that you see are much brighter on your computer, than on most people's computers.

Colors usually look different from monitor to monitor, depending on your personal settings (screen resolution etc.). All browsers and operating systems also display them differently. Could you please tell me what browser, OS and screen settings do you have? We could try to reproduce your environment to see how colors are displayed on your screen.

Do you feel that it's mostly green color that's too bright? Does anyone else have this problem?

As for the store banner, you can go ahead and replace it, as we did adjust the banner size. The new banner size is 713px × 125px. If you upload a bigger image, our system will resize it to that size. Thanks!

All looks good just that I removed my banner. My shop name Ahkriti seemed to be eaten up with the new look! And since I forgot how I made the banner, I decided to delete it all! Not sure whether that was a good decision. I will need professional help now.

Also, one of my products come up - the midnight blue necklace.  Can that picture be shown differently. Most of the necklace seems to cut off!

\But good going folks! Celebrations!

Hi Ahkriti,

Sorry about the banner. The new banner size is 713px × 125px.
We'll be offering free banner redesign packages during next Bootcamp in March/April.
If you can't wait, I found 2 people that are doing banner design on iCraft.

As for the product thumbnails, there is no way of adjusting them manually right now.
However, we are planning to add some kind of photo editing function that will allow you to do just that - manipulate any of your images to perfection.  Grin
