I will start by again thanking the Ubercart team and the Ubercart community! I can't even imagine launching a site from scratch with another system in two weeks!
That being said we tried to make the site as clean and simple to use as possible given the target customer. No bells and whistles here, pretty much a few content types, a couple views, and some products.
I do want to mention two items that are used on the site.
One is the Drupal Administration Menu it makes the administration interface so easy to navigate and use. After trying it on this site we have gone back and put it on every site we have now.
The second is a cool way to add some function and look to a views catalog. We used a context-sensitive embedded view to display a view of products within a content type of "product-line". We aren't using it to its full potential just yet but it will allow for some fun stuff in the future.
The customer is working on getting new product photos, until they saw thickbox in action they didn't realize the need for nice product photos.
Re: Banglz
Great site Thill, congrats! Specially I liked the good balance between content and shop (that is not always the case in new online shops)
As a development tip I'd like to advise to disable practically all side blocks and unnecessary links in the checkout page and after it (all unnecessary links during checkout are "dangerous" from the business- and usability- point of view)
Maybe even giving more attention to "add to cart" and "checkout" etc. important buttons, could make the site even more successful.
My 2 cents from Sunny Spain... great site, congrats!
thanks
Thank you, I just removed the blocks from the checkout and checkout review. I left them on for the cart page in case people wanted to go find other products to add. I also just spruced up the buttons a little using the information in that link you gave me. It worked well, now I am going to try the cart block links/buttons. That appears to be a little more tricky.
Thanks again for the pointers.
