Good morning all. I just launched a t-shirt sales site, not exactly a web app, I know. But we have a freaky business model, which required a correspondingly freaky e-commerce cart. My buddy essentially reverse engineered Ticketmaster's cart. Anyway, I love this community and respect it's opinion greatly. In fact, I learned most of my web/customer-experience design stuff by reading things I found here.
Anyway, I'd love to know what you think of the site's usability etc...
I opened with the cart, because I figured hacker types would be most interested in that, but all comments/criticisms are welcome.
Yeah, while the counter is great, it could use a sentence or two more of description. Keep the counter, add a fun sentence about why its there, not just what it does.
I like the site. I would be more inclined to bid for the higher cost shirts if I knew some of the profits went to fund a defense fund for the RIAA (like FSF fund). When it's appropriate I think it makes sense to give a small % of profits up so that all the customers get that extra smug feeling when buying their shirt. Again, interesting idea definitely more rewarding than buying from Cafe Press or Threadless!
I am probably viewing a much revised version of the site at this point, because everything is looking really nice right now. I am loving it.
Really friggin great idea.
The name is perfect. I wouldn't worry about blokes crying NSFW here today, you shouldn't be shopping for T-shirts at work anyway. Plus I think the name will go over well with the crowd that typically purchases these types of shirts.
That's an interesting way of dealing with scarce items. I liked the timer as well. I agree with comments about the need for better design, but it's a good start.
