My first ASP.Net site
-
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 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.

Simple and clean. That's what I like about the web site. Do I get something from your site for this comment.:)

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

You only give the option for "Secure Checkout", is it possible to do just a normal checkout? /\ |_ E X E GG
You're joking, right? ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

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".

Judging by his profile, I'm pretty sure he was joking.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume... :~

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.

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

Nicely done site. Not too overwhelming and easy to navigate :) Looks like some very nice products to sell. Paul

Thanks! My wife was really excited when I told her that one sold. We appreciate it.

That was on my intermediate release list. I'm planning on fixing some of those annoying little quirks and putting up a fix this weekend.

I'll keep that in mind for release 2. I'm trying to compile a list of fixes. Thanks again! :-D
