Dai the Socket Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 They don't have an Echo / Zoo / Anyone deal to my knowledge!So I'll like to see them try and sell stuff when they don't have it in stock. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't merely re-order the stuff through Tartybikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz M Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 just because its open doesnt mean its fully up and running, there could be glitches, problems with the online ordering, no products in stock etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Nice to see some good refs here We try our best to get stuff in stock, but to have everything would need masses of cash, am im amazed tarty and phil manage it Dont diss the nav infront of si and bren, they get mad I like the site a lot, but each to their own, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Why, out of interest?By the way JT, Simon coded it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Dont diss the nav infront of si and bren, they get mad Nah, i don't mind, just would like to know why, means i can possibly improve on future products and services if his reason's makes sense.I can take constructive critisism, it's when people say something is bad, but don't explain why that it get's annoying to listen too. But yeah, going off-topic here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Do you actually have any BMX stuff in? I trawled through the site for ages trying ot find what you actually had in stock, but just kept getting "0 products". Personally, I'm more of a fan of site designs like Tarty/Select. A load easier to navigate even if they don't look all fancy. It's just easier reading and picking links off a list, instead of sweeping over a load of links.Oop, nearly forgot the golden "IMO" of justice...

JT! Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) Nah, i don't mind, just would like to know why, means i can possibly improve on future products and services if his reason's makes sense.I can take constructive critisism, it's when people say something is bad, but don't explain why that it get's annoying to listen too. But yeah, going off-topic here. Sorry yeah i should have explained why.The 'Main nevigation' part is fine.It's products...For example, you click on 'Bashplate and rings' and it comes up with Bashplates (1) and Bashringings (1). There's no need for them to be in seperate sections, especially when there's just one in each section.When you click on the products section, take 20" forks for example, you just get a list. There's no thubnails, which is my main problem with it, becuase when you get a good list of half a dozen products, to get and idea of your choice you have to click on each one to see what they look like. By the time you have looked down them all, you have forgotten which ones were which, and what there was. Also, the hyperlinked text for each product it exactly the same font as the price, which means that the individual products don't really stand out from the price and they don't stand out from one another. Also, a change in hyperlink colour when it's been clicked on is handy.Take for example the 'cogs' section. It only has one section inside that. So i don't see the need for it to go from 'cogs' to 'thredded cogs' and then to the list of the products. Could just miss out the middle bit and go stright to the products.And then there's spokes, and other sections, where there's nothing in there anyway. I know they are there ready and waiting for products to be added, but it just makes navigating the products tedious. Last thing is only something little, but beause all the product sections and the sites header are on the top, when you click on a prouct, you have to scroll down every single time to see the pics and the deatails.Personaly i find tartybikes to be the best website out there at the moment it's a very close to perfect layout IMO.

Hobnobs Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 We will be getting bmx stuff, we have catalogues etc but are just waiting for seventies to set up our account.On the layout, i personally think that the idea on btc is better than on tarty and select (as you have to go throguh loads of products to find stuff) but i would prefer it if the products came up straight away rather than sub sections. If you dont like scrolling, get a bigger monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
