-On the current thumbnails – take off the height attribute and re-do all thumbnails. -On the customer side – maybe link the thumbnail images right to the big photos, a friend’s idea. -Go through and simplify the view parts page and the edit parts page. They have a lot of info that may not be required for edits and such. Having so many required page params is a hindrance to development on that section. -On the customer we pages (eCommerce) – we may need a page that has or shows specials. Key off the web price settings. Maybe a section for special we price, best price and cost. -Maybe pass back data in xml format instead of letting ColdFusion generate the data – this would make our methods more usable to other developers. Maybe a step further down the line. This could pass a param (ColdFusion, or xml) to the web services. If xml – convert and send back, use a sub function that converts a structure to xml. Other ideas for adilas eCommerce: -The price setting per item will either allow a sale or not. -What about quantities on hand? How do we monitor that? Do we check the real site or do we just do it and sort things out later (like back orders, credits, refunds, etc.). For the record, it is always easier to check first and deny at the door rather than ask someone to leave what is already in and committed. -Our goal is to provide the service; however, wherever possible we should also help our users learn to use good practices. -Keep it ultra-simple – show a crumb trail. -Use email and/or text messages. -Have special reports for web sales. -Treat all sales as customer invoices. -Allow customers to login via the customer id and email address tied to that customer. -I want to provide some simple buttons that allow a customer to create basic things like a quote, restore to cart, save as…(new quote), statement, pay a bill, real cart check-out, check on outstanding invoices. -Allow customer HTML to be assigned to parts and stock/units. This could be links to movies, tables with rates, calendar graphics, virtual tours, sub navigation, additional verbiage, headers, footers, special notes, etc. Think anything custom. It could be added before or after an item – or both allow 1-many, allow before or after settings, allow for sorting. Basically, mini snippets or wrappers. Other ideas – links to like products, promotions, ratings, testimonials, availability, reminders, colors, sizes, options, recommendations, waivers, forms, checklists, rosters, syllabus, course work, coupons for local businesses, updates, closures, etc. (General customer web feature. Customer HTML per item.) |
