Trying to Build an Online Store
MODs, if this is in the wrong section or inappropriate, please feel free to move or delete it.
That said, I'm trying to build an online store from the ground up using Zen Cart's platform. This is a new experience for me, and with limited html / programming skills, it's going to take awhile to figure out.
I've set up the basic structure, integrated the USPS shipping calculator, integrated PayPal, and added 25 items just to get thing started.
If anyone here would like to visit, the store is located at http://www.iowabob.com/storefront.
I'm aware of blank pages, mssing logos and cosmetic refinements that need to be made. At the moment, I'm really just looking for feedback to see if the store is even working for anyone besides me.
If you do visit, I'd appreciate comments or feedback either here or by PM.
Thanks!
I see it.Looks good.
Iowabob, I've seen your store and it looks good!!!!! For whatever it is worth, even though it does cost a few bucks, Ebay offers pretty easy Storefront options. I had one for awhile and it worked out great. No "programming needed" I was up and running in a 1/2 hour or so. Plus you get much more exposure.
Nevertheless, you're set-up looks great!!!!!!

Hey iowabob, if you have a Mist snow globe, I call dibs.
Sadly, rumor has it there is a "Call-Back" for TMSG's for "Stunt" roles. We "TMSG" owners should know more in the morning. Right now, TMSG is "tripping the light fantastic" with TH20SG in Scottsdale. Paris Hilton is rumored to be in attendance!!!!!!!! He may get lucky!!!!!Hey iowabob, if you have a Mist snow globe, I call dibs.

It does look very good!. The only comment I can add is looking at the home page, the tittles under the image of each item is rather small. I had a little difficulty in reading them. I compared it with Camelot's site and theirs are much more legible. Maybe the font size can be increased a little or is it the color of the lettering?. Not sure if it is because of my browser either.
Thanks for your input. I was able to increase the font size in the left and right side boxes. I'll try to do the same in the center column tomorrow morning. For now, I gotta get some sleep!
looks really really good and professional.
you should set up a consignment page, and allow others to post their stuff... for a commission of course.
how do you plan on marketing the page to get it up in the search engine listings?
I'm guessing you are going to put a nice header/log at the top togive unique identity to your site?
thanks for stopping by really doesn't work for me as a page title... maybe as a footer...
No marketing plans at the moment. Right now, my goal is just to develop an understanding of how Zen Cart works. Once that's accomplished, I'll be helping a neighbor set up an online store for his business.
My long-term plan is to establish the store for items including but not limited to Stephen King books. At the moment, I'm just listing duplicate King items and using the TDT members as guinea pigs to see if the thing even works.
I'm not sure how a conignment page mght work, but it's definitely something I'd consider doing for other TDT members. The main drawback that I can see would be not having items physically here in order to photograph and assess their condition when creating the listing. Anyone have comments on how a consignment section might work, and if there is any interest in participating by members here?
Yup, trying to find an image or logo to go with it. The stuff at the top was generic, and I'm still trying to figure out how to replace and/or edit it to something more appropriate.
Thanks to all who have visied and been kind enough to comment on my initial efforts. I'll keep working on it, and adding additional items as time permits.
Desperation Remarque
For Sale:
#10 of 19 numbered EXQUISITE painted remarques from Don Maitz. This remarque is inside a copy (on the title page no less) of the Grant Gift Edition of Desperation. It is slipcased and ready to sit on YOUR shelf. It's a beautifully rendered piece that looks better in person than it does in this computer screen. Don't you want to be able to look at it any hour of the day instead of having to wait for your computer to come on and hope the connection is good today in order to see it? Included with the book is the preliminary sketch Don made before putting pen and brush to paper.
Art is just one of those things that if you like it, you like it, and if you don't, it's just not worth messing with. I really like this one. It's a really simple piece that doesn't have a whole lot going on that makes your eye wander over it, it's not bloody and gross like several of the other remarques that were done in that series, and it's doesn't have that creepy vibe that one or two of the remarques had. Desperation is a really gross and disgusting book and has many creepy moments within various scenes, so for Don to take something like the examination of one of the can-tah sculpture/rock carvings and make this little scene of it really was pretty cool. Or at least I thought so.
There are no bumped or otherwise damaged corners to the book or slipcase, and no other damageto the rest of the book or slipcase either. I also have to say that Desperation was one of those rare cases where the Gift Edition (which is what this copy is, a remarqued Gift Edition, #10 in a series of 19 remarques done by Don Maitz) was actually nicer looking than the Limited Edition.
Now for the cost. What does this baby cost? I will make it very simple. From my door to yours, well packed, insured for the FULL value, bubblewrapped well enough to protect it from damage should it experience a Kong like fall from the Empire State Building, ALL of this and the book for only $600. PM me if you are interested. Or I'll be forced to list it on ebay where the price won't be less, and the shipping won't be free.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

Nice wee store.
From a SEO point of view, i would recommend you to put it in http://www.iowabob.com/ and not in the "storefront" folder.
You should also edit a few things, and that includes the meta title & description of it (it is NOT indexed yet by google). The meta title of the HP is VERY important.
I did submit it for Google to browsing it and indexing it :-)

sgc1999, please don't come to the site with anything but pleasure and joy.
You have not "vetted" yourself (yet), to the members. Likely you are an amiable chap, but make friends here before you upset people.
One 'advisement'.
Nice looking book SGC, hadn't seen a PC lettered of the Riding the Bullet yet. Hey, if you happen to have any The Mist snow-globes I can broker a deal for you (heh heh).
