Iron Heart UK V4 - Update Time Again

[shoque]

The checkout system, well - its inflexibility, is one of the reasons we need to move on.

INB4LOCK…something friendly with mobile devices. Seems kinda hard to navigate on my razor.

would be cool to have a chain stitch hem option on the same checkout page as the jeans you're buying instead of having to do two separate searches.  it's a minor thing though, because it's really about 5 seconds of effort.

this will be a core feature of the new website.

building off of what veloaudio said and what i did a while back…you could consider a fully faceted catalog.

filter by cut/material/item etc.

FEEEEEECCCCCKKKKK

I'm loving the new logo that we will use…..

[RocknRoll]

I'm not sure if this is too trivial, but I'd like the sizing charts to be immediately visible on the product pages (i.e. without needing to click on another tab).

My only other suggestion: When in doubt (about anything), keep things as simple as possible.

^sounds like a plan to me!

[Giles]

Thats not trivial, but may be difficult with something like the IH-634S where we have so many sizes we effectively need 2 tables.

What I am keen on doing is having a table viewable on the main product page that shows what is in stock and what is not…Something like this:

Logic to not show out-of-stock, and auto/only show in-stock combinations is always good.

It might have a bit more of a back of house learning curve, have been hearing MANY good things about spree;

Thanks Snowy, currently I think we will run the whole IH-Shop on Shopify, takes away lot of maintenance-, coding- and paymentgateway-work.

When is the t shirt coming out? Can it have gold lettering as specified? Take my money!

[Giles]

Feckin brilliant idea…....That'll happen....

I believe Shopify will support a grid display, like the current IH Shop look, with available sizes shown on the grid. Here is an example:

Maybe the sizes can be displayed with a mouse-over, instead of always shown.

Cool

The new logo is stellar.  Looking forward to seeing more of it.

[Giles]

I'm 100% with you Chris.  I love it.  I did not even notice it until VO pointed out that he had seen it on Sarina's instagram feed.  I think that it capture the essence of what we do/who we are much better than this….

And allows us to get more creative with the total look and feel….

[footandmaff]

Absolutely love the new logo. I actually came in here because I thought I was going mad and had imagined the find stock in my size feature. Glad to see I wasn't. It'd be great if that could make a return sometime in the future.

Good luck with the redesign.

Shopify is the de facto SAAS these days, if you want it cloud-hosted, that's for sure. Should free up more time for skinning, greater ability to hire T&M contractors for point issues also. Mind you most of those points are the same either way. Biggest difference is speed of evolution/adaptability, and hosting uptime/risk/security. Cloud hosting is my livelihood, A+
