OCUK's new website
- Thread starter smsmasters
- Start date
Someone stole the start button?
It does increase sales, OcUK had outgrown the capabilities of the old website, an upgrade was required which gives us a lot more power/ability that you the customer can not directly see.
As a result business is off to a good start.
I've added some sizing categories in storage to make finding SSD/HDD easier.
Homepage design / polishing can easily happen and I am sure some changes will be made to make it look less busy but on a whole the site was updated for the technical ability it has, not because the old one was looking bad.
Over the next coming days/weeks tweaks and polishing will be done, we will get it there for sure.
Looking forward to seeing what gets changed with regards to making it feel less busy and what tweaks get done over time. Hope it all works out well for the business.
I can't wait to see the meltdown when the forums get updated. It'll be pandemonium.

Don't like the new website at all 
In fact, I was only thinking the other week how much I've always loved OCuK's website and hope they never changed it.
Really horrible - please change it back!!

Replacing the content that used to be down the left hand side with the advert titles, OCUK extra, OCUK world and brands is not good at all. Most of that stuff doesn't seem like it's going to be frequently used, but it's placed in an area that my eyes are drawn directly towards, for navigating the shop.
Putting all that at the top now, and hovering over a major section to reveal all the other sections is not good. Very hard to find specifics amongst "PC Components", a huge category.
Any website redesign should've been optimised for mobile too. On a mobile device you have to press a major category e.g. "Gaming" to get the same menu that a mouse hover would produce. Clunky.

I sent three Webnotes today to cancel an order I placed and they all got rejected saying the order number didn't exist
Now the order has shipped!

I for one do not like it, it's ugly nothing looks the same so much clutter, left hand navigation was better, simplicity is always best.
I'm not being defensive. I have a very low tolerance for BS, especially of the dramatic kind as seen in this thread where some people think they're being helpful by claiming it looks horrible and absolutely terrible, or that the old one was x amount times "better" than the new one.
There's been plenty of constructive criticism, which is great and helpful to those who designed it. The ones just moaning about how their eyes are supposedly bleeding and how terrible it looks are just being divas over change.
