    I didn't want to be accused of spamming, but since you ask... link[^] There are numerous little problems, but nothing that I found to be show-stopping. I'll release an update in another week or two I think. I need to touch up the images, too.

        Went live yesterday! It's an e-commerce site I made for my wife in my spare time so that she can sell jewelry she makes online. It was more of a learning project for me as I've never really done anything in asp.net, but version 1 seems to work pretty well. I have a free $20 adwords credit, so I activated it. I can't wait to see if anything sells!

        I took a look at the site and the jewelry. Nice job on the site - it looks professional and clean. The jewelry is, WOW - at least for my tastes. Very nice looking stuff. I think she'll sell a bunch. Cheers, Drew.

          I just noticed that there is no physical address or phone numbers in the contact area. I NEVER buy anything from a place that doesn't provide that info. Thought you might like to know (I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way about online retailers). Cheers, Drew.

              Thanks. I'll put that in. I left it out because it's a home-based business and didn't want to advertise my home address, lest someone finds my wife's chin irresistible. If anything sells, I'll probably get a PO Box.

                I'll let the Mrs. know. She'll love to hear that.

                          I'll assume you're joking, but I put "secure checkout" instead of just "checkout" there just because usually checkout is accompanied by some description of how it's secure...yada yada yada. So in order to avoid some sort of long-winded description, I just made it "Secure Checkout".

                                      Nicely done. The site is clean and very easy to navigate. The jewelry looks pretty good too! Did you code everything from scratch, or did you make use of any specific libraries?

                                        The site itself was coded from scratch using VS2005 in c#. I used a SOAP interface library to communicate payment transactions with PayPal Pro (it's PayPal's new merchant account service) that I got from http://www.commercestarterkit.org[^]. Setting up the PayPal interface seemed a little more daunting than other merchants like Authorize.Net, so I'm glad that library was available.

                                          Went live yesterday! It's an e-commerce site I made for my wife in my spare time so that she can sell jewelry she makes online. It was more of a learning project for me as I've never really done anything in asp.net, but version 1 seems to work pretty well. I have a free $20 adwords credit, so I activated it. I can't wait to see if anything sells!

                                          Something just did. :rose: Very Nice. Good job, and good timing. I thought you did a nice job on the site, and your wife did a great job on the jewelry. Just in time for my anniversary.:cool: Just a couple of comments on the user experience. User account 1. Don't make me guess the telephone number format, either be explicit and show me the format you want, or let me type it in anyway I want and correct it on the back end. 2. Don't force me to change my password just to correct something else. I don't want to type in my password twice just to correct a phone number. Especially since I just created the account a few minutes ago. Checkout Checkout went very smoothly, and this is a personal preference thing. I prefer sites that take me to an invoice copy that I can print when the transaction has processed. The Thank-You page is nice, and I see that I can click a link to get my invoice copy, but I would prefer that the order details were a part of the Thank-You page rather than having to notice the link and go to yet another page. On the whole it is a very nicely done site with very nice product. Good Job to you, and tell your wife Good Job too. Jim
