Iron Heart UK V4 - Update Time Again

[veloaudio]

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….

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.

@shoque:

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

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+

Yeah, the new logo is dope.  T-shirt with gold lettering is a must.

@mclaincausey:

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

Indigo dyed t shirt with gold lettering, I'm in.

Another logo I think will look great on the revised IHUK site.

[irishexpat]

that would work well as a header logo….since its rectangular.

but that first one is a money shot!

[Greenie]

a money shot, eh?

[Giles]

OK, so we are actually doing something about this now.  Coding in earnest will start shortly.  In preparation for the new site and the migration, we are doing a lot of housekeeping.

@PattyCakez AKA Patrick is going through each and every product page to make sure they are consistent in look, feel and also the quantity and quality of information.

He is also ensuring that our "tool-tipping" is consistent.  Tool tips are recognised by a word having dots under it, if you hover over the word, a window containing a more detailed description of that word or phrase will appear.

Paula is working on Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).  The new website will have a much better way of displaying and navigating FAQs, but we're trying to get as much of the grunt work done as possible before the panic of implementing the new site.

FAQs can be seen here:  http://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/faqs

If you see any inconsistencies or errors in the information being displayed on the product pages or the FAQs please drop an email to Patrick at intern@ironheart.co.uk

is there anything you can do about the 3 buttons "mark all messages as read" when updating?
at least you can add a "are you really sure? yes! no!" or something like that…or just remove the two buttons at the top...even better ^^

and sorry about bringing this up again, but it really is a pain in the arse sometimes. especially if you haven't checked the forum for a couple of days and randomly pressing the button (when browsing with the iPhone), everything is "read" and you can't really tell anymore what is new and what not

[Giles]

After we have implemented the new website (or at least all the major new functionality), we will look at implementing other "nice to haves" to integrating the Forum more tightly.  We may end up with a completely new look and feel…

Priority at the moment is a responsive architecture and features that make the website more useable....

Easy two step fix:
1. Browse daily.
2. Don't browse when you're drunk.

^ not as easy as you might think mate! …and thanks for the heads up G.

The FAQs are very informative!
