| 279448 | 2004-10-12 07:41:00 | @ george12 Looking at your website from a technical viewpoint I noticed a couple of things . First, the front page of your website is composed of 40 tables, nested one among the other . You could wittle this down to three tables . As a consequence the site would load faster . Go here ( . orcon . net . nz/sections/recent_contracts . html" target="_blank">basscode . orcon . net . nz) to view a site, with a layout similar to your own, for which I know has only three tables to effect that layout . Secondly, the images on the front page need to be optimised so that the compression that currently affects them is removed . The reason why your images look compressed is because their actual size is not the size they've been made to fit inside your <td> tags . For example, the width/height properties of one your images, tm244lc . gif ( . jgih . com/images/products/tm244lc . gif" target="_blank">www . jgih . com), is 201*154 . However, in the relevant <td> tag the it has the width/height values of 107*140 . As a consequence that makes the image look compressed and it also takes longer to draw that image on screen as it gets recomposed by the browser after receiving the data stream for the image via the webserver . The work around is to resize the images to match the appropriate values given to them in their respective positions inside the relevant <td> tags . HTH Harry |

| 279449 | 2004-10-15 08:17:00 | I just found out why I had no sales. In the six days after the ad on google, 18 people had TRIED to order. But there was a problem. When I cahnged the database the check out script hadn't been altered accordingly. $1800 worth of orders - sob! All fixed now. Blank_Harry, the reason the pictures are resized like they are is because before I had to have a large and a small pic, which resulted in a lot of work. Although I mainly test the site over 100Mbps LAN (same netowrk as server), I have been to it on 56K before and the speed seems acceptable. I hate excessively neste tables too, but couldn't get quite the graphical effect with less. Will look into it though. Cheers |

| 279451 | 2004-10-15 11:20:00 | Yeah. You're right. Fixed as of 30 seconds ago. Cheers |

| 279452 | 2004-10-15 11:37:00 | No offense but you need to seriously reconsider your domain name/company name. "jgih" .com That's got to be the worst domain name I've ever seen. I'd have a hard time trying to spell it, let alone remember it. Anything with JG, GJ turns into a tongue twister and it's a pain to even remember it. Next you need a .co.nz address if your selling in NZ. Most .com sites are overseas, well that's how I tend to think of them anyway. Prices = not competitive. Variety of stuff = very bad. E.g if I wanted some Corsair RAM I sure aint going to get it off your site. A-data, aimed at low end user. Just a few points :) |

| 279454 | 2004-10-16 00:34:00 | Where abouts are you. As far as I can see there's no address. Not even a location. Or a phone number. You won't get me as a customer. I only shop by credit card. Your list of products is poorly done. After all they are the most important item. They are why people come to your site. Suggest you shift link from top of page to left hand side of page. Overall not a very impressive site. Jack |

| 279456 | 2004-10-16 00:46:00 | Oh well Godfather. I'm half blind. But don't you think it should be clearly shown on the front page. I don't want to go searching for it. Jack |

| 279457 | 2004-10-16 05:18:00 | > Suggest you shift link from top of page to left hand side of page Why don't you have a look towards the left of the page. You should notice a link there: "Browse Products" > I'm half blind Yes you are > I only shop by credit card Just choose Paypal as the payment type. You will be redirected to the paypal site asking you to log on. Log on, or register, and enter your credit card number, and buy to you're hearts content! But yes, if you can't find the basic links, and in fact a surprising number of people don't think to look under the clearly labelled "Navigation" section on the left, maybe I should make them clearer.
