Jon is being entirely too modest, his efforts have been nothing short of superhuman and are, as ever greatly appreciated!

Thanks Adam, that’s nice of you. It all worked out in the end eh? :-)

It certainly is refreshing to see a well designed on-line store front. I suppose it necessarily takes its inspiration from the Apple store in many ways but that makes it no less pleasant to browse.

One thing that proved slightly irksome was the “View Basket” button functionality. This is mainly due to the fact that I am currently browsing with a resolution of 1024x768. I expected the basket contents to be immediately in view, however because the “Ipod Accessories” menu list is always displayed above the basket content, I didn’t actually notice the basket until the third or fourth click on “View Basket”.

Perhaps an anchor to the top of the basket would clear up this confusion for those on lower resolutions. I’m sure it all seems very clear at 1280 plus.

Hi James,

Thanks for the feedback, we will obviously be spending some time analysing feedback and see what we can do to improve useability.

…doesn’t everyone use 1600x1200? ;)

Thanks indeed for your feedback James. We will definitely look at that now that we’re aware that it’s an issue.

doesn’t everyone use 1600x1200

No Adam - it’s strictly 2560x1600 here!!! :-P

…damn you and your shiny silver box! >[

James: I have added an anchor link to the basket. I’d appreciate it if you could try it out and let us know what you think.

Thanks.

That’s an instant improvement for the resolution-challenged among us! Good luck with the site.

Hi,

we are the proud owners of this site and would like to say how happy we are with all the hard work put in by Jonathan and Adam. The site looks great and the CMS is a great tool. We know Jon worked way too hard on this (We did on occasion receive phone calls after midnight from him while he was still working) - does he have a home to go to?

It is all very much appreciated - and once we build up the sales I will organise some drinks down here in London!

Thanks Guys!

Brilliant. Thanks a lot James for that usability testing. Your input is very much appreciated.

does he have a home to go to?

Er… no. Are you guys offering me lodgings? I am house-trained (barely).

I will organise some drinks down here in London!

Hoorah! An iPodbits party - we won’t let you forget that offer! :-)

Wow! ipodbits.com is a nice site! I think I will blogroll it so I don’t forget!
