New Gallery, by thegallerycourt on May 29, 2012 22:27:55 GMT 1, Thanks for the comment, I can assure you I have two more artists lined up in the next couple of weeks and still open for any emerging talent that needs a break through. Just message me if you have a hit list. I'm glad you like the site. It's still being tweaked and again.. I've broad shoulders and only want the best for all. I'm not shy... I'll be back. Eyes and ears open.

New Gallery, by .dappy on May 29, 2012 23:30:24 GMT 1, I appreciate that the site is not complete, but here is my tu'pence worth:
~ Always have a double space after a full stop. It makes it easier to read. ~ Framed and Orig Art - show the complete piece framed in the photos , not just images of the piece. Show the framed item against a diff background to show off the frame itself. ~ State if you use standard, UV resistant or museum glass in framed pieces. ~ The zoom facility on the images does not seem to work properly (I only tried a couple of images) ~ I would offer Special Delivery on all items sent through the post rather than just 1st Class. (I appreciate you offer signed/hand delivered/courier for other items) This way you can track and will get a signature no matter what. You appear to be offering a great service with free delivery (UK) ~ There are some typos in your shipping and returns page (and elsewhere ) ~ Always have a double space after a full stop. It makes it easier to read. OOopps I have already said that. ~ I like your 'privacy notice' page ~ I like you have a 'cookie' policy up ~ Under your 'conditions of use' page you may want to review the 'copyright' section again ~ I would add in another 'polite notice' that if an organisation - commercial or charitable is to use a web link to your page please could they contact the site, just so that you are aware of its use. ~ About us - people like to talk to people using their names - put your first names here. (they do not have to be your real first names) ~ Is the only way to contact you is via the email link? I would be wary of no tel no. Appreciate that you are online and therefore do not have 'a shop' If the only way to contact you is via the email link then say so. (but people like to talk to people) ~ I like the 'recently viewed' section ~ Remember: a) You will not get it right all of the time, so don't beat yourselves up. b) The customer is not always right (believe me) ... but customer service is everything.
Lots of two p's, and Good Luck with your venture.

New Gallery, by Deleted on May 30, 2012 7:26:43 GMT 1, Listen to Dappy, he is sooo right !!!
Rule no 1 - Never purchase stuff on Internet if company running the website doesn't have a physical address, phone number and names of people
So please update your contact page and add your full contact
- Do you mean by this that you copied and pasted ArtRepublic's terms ? At least, make sure you clean reference to ArtRepublic

New Gallery, by thegallerycourt on May 30, 2012 7:36:33 GMT 1, Great stuff Dappy. I'll take all the two p's you have mate. They only make pounds. I'm out and about most of the day today/tonight but will dive on to all of the above ASAP. I am looking at finding the images a bit of thorne in my side right now. Glare/reflection and just damn right perfection. I just want them to do the work justice. That can be difficult when selling online. I'm taking all on board and really grateful on this help. Again thanks for the time and effort you are all taking out to look and reply. Maybe when I nail it I may just earn a gallery status.

New Gallery, by thegallerycourt on May 30, 2012 8:45:07 GMT 1, Big boss!! Yep this guy really sounds like he knows his stuff. That's what I'm hear for. In relation to your quote - I had that done for me and will be taking it up with them. Egg on my face! Already amended. Amen. I'll get as much of this done while I can remotely over the next 48 hours. Cheers guys.

New Gallery, by .dappy on May 30, 2012 23:25:25 GMT 1, Cheers thebigboss and thegallerycourt ... I had picked up ArtRep issue in one of my tu'penny's '~ Under your 'conditions of use' page you may want to review the 'copyright' section again '
thebigboss is right about VAT - say its in or out.
If I was the gallery owner, I would want my brand displayed bigger on the page, it just looks a bit lost and too small for me. Can you move the tabs along to give you a bigger space for your square logo in the top banner/header? and/or What about reproducing the logo to the far right of the bottom banner/footer of the page as well? Good symmetry and as people scroll down the page your brand is there as well. I appreciate going back to web designers with more changes may cost you more money, esp if you do not diy, so you might not be able to do all of the suggestions at once.
Anyway what do I know ... thank you for the kind words and as I said GL.
