Our Sites Refreshed!
I have been really busy lately with work and other things in life, I barely have time to think. I wanted to show everyone what I have been working on at the job since starting. A lot of stuff we work on we don’t go as public about because it wouldn’t be professional to do so for our partners/affiliates, so I can’t always divulge all of our work.
Today we launched a Refresh (as we like call it), to our header and footers areas of the sites. This is more then just a redesign but an actual initial overhaul of the existing structure. We are also working on some great homepage redesigns for our sites. It has been a lot of fun and I’m really excited to see the results of the hard work we have been doing the last few months.
This was the first step in the right direction, in terms of cleaning up the front end code and really giving our sites an updated look and feel. There is still a lot of work to be done, so don’t bash me to quickly on what can use improvements, if your looking at the source code or CSS files. We have several e-commerce sites, so it is going to be a very tedious process, one that I like to look at as a war with many small battles. At the end I hope to bring our sites to the front of the pack in terms of web standards and e-commerce.
here are some of the sites to check out:
http://runbikes.com/
http://childcarriers.com/
http://bicycletrailers.com/
http://europeanstroller.com/
While your checking them out buy something for your kids, or your friends kid’s. You won’t get much of a better customer experience on any other e-commerce site.

Very very very cool. Don’t let Fry steal your code - OCP never had a standards-y front end before now…
Oh wait, nobody there cares about standards!

Yeah its pretty damn cool Dan. And I wouldn’t say nobody there cares about standards, I know of few there that do care deeply about standards and I have tons of respect for, but thats not to say how the company thinks about standards.
It’s going to be a fun time seeing what we turn an OCP site into when working just on the one project for our job, instead of building it for a company and handing it over. I have a lot of plans for some great techniques and if you check out the Internet Retailer top 500, none of them can compete with what my plans are, I hardly think any of them currently can as of now!
I’d like to compare any of those sites to ours and see who comes out on top.
