We just launched our new E-Commerce Site Today

I took 100 X 100 off the map this afternoon. I can go some smaller, however, a lot of my customers are older and do not see as well as they once did. Sometime, I just have to split the difference. I have talked to several firefox users that said it looked fine. I will keep my ears open on that one. Ken Sweet

You need to take a closer look at your HTML source code, much of it appears to be invalid which could be causing unanticipated problems in various browsers/versions. In addition, the IMG tag that points to your map image doesn't appear to be closed properly, which can definitely cause problems. Also, the use of tables for web design used to be the norm, but today people use divs styled with CSS for greater speed and flexibility, something you might consider doing.

Lastly, it's worth noting that many people such as myself block all scripts so it's a good idea to try and not be overly dependant on it for critical areas of your website.

There is a missing greater than symbol (">") in the part of the code that references the image for the US Map. Doesn't look like it makes any major issues for me, though, and I'm using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7.

I, too, block all scripting in FF with NoScript. But, when I go to a site on purpose, I just click the icon and allow the site. It isn't a huge issue for me. The part that you want to be aware of is that the scripting is attempting to link me to a server in the volusion.com domain, and that remains blocked. So, if your CMS software requires anything from the "mother site" to work, it will be a problem in my browser. I don't like XSS (cross site scripting) like that as it's widely used for hacks and viruses.

EA is also using Volusion as the "mother site". Is that site doing the same thing as mine? Ken Sweet

EA? Can you give a full URL?

EverythingAttachments.com My first time there took about 2 minutes to load the home page and I have a high speed fiber optic connection. Ken Sweet

First visit, took about 10 seconds to load. Unlocked the scripting for their site, additional 20 seconds of load time incurred. I did not enable scripting for the volusion.com site.

The Website site below in our signature takes the place of the 15 yr old site that you may be familiar with. On this new E-Commerce site, we have the Lower 48 divided into 4 Zones and Store Pickup. All you need to do is pick your shipping zone from the map and then click on that Zone in the menu on the left side of the screen. All new and used equipment will be priced in the categories in the Zone specifically for you. Shipping is priced into all products shipped to your or your Friends Downtown Commercial Business address or Picked up at a Truck Terminal Near you. To determine where the truck terminals are in your area, simply click on "Terminal Locations" and we will answer that question for you. If you need Farm/Residential Delivery, just click the Extra Truck Services you may need listed in with each implement's page.
We have checked and we are confident that we can be competitive with any Ag Implement E-Commerce website on the web. Please be patient with us as we continue to add 100-150 more products to the site.
Greg and Myself appreciate any feedback that you may have. Thanks to all of you guys for 35 years of continued support. May God Bless You. Ken Sweet

For what its worth it Took about 5 seconds to load on my iPad using a wireless router. Site seems ok.

One thing I noticed though. The in store price and the shipping price to zone 2 on a SBX 72 inch box blade is only $30 difference. Other items show a bigger adjustment for in store pick up. Is this a mistake?

It was a mistake. Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate it. Ken Sweet

Ken,

I wanted to mention something about the pricing (I may have said this before)... As a consumer, I like knowing what I'm paying for the product and what I'm paying for shipping. The way your pricing is done, I have to choose my zone to get a total price, then choose Store Pickup to see how much the product itself costs. THEN, I can figure out what I'm getting tagged for shipping by doing the math.

If it were my site, I would find a way to show the [potential] customer the cost breakdown between the two. The fact of the matter is, shipping multiple products MAY or MAY NOT provide a break in shipping costs. As a consumer, I want to see prices that are as accurate and "real" as possible.

Additionally, you WILL lose customers that see a price for a product including shipping because they've seen the same (or reasonably similar) products elsewhere for much less (because the prices don't include shipping at the other locations). And, once the customer goes to that other site / store and starts the buying process, they won't bother coming back to your site once they realize the price is essentially the same.
