First thing's first. You're redirecting to a required SSL connection but not providing a trusted certificate. This is something that should be fixed immediately before any financial transactions occur. I'll trust it from a test network momentarily so I can look at the site further. In the meantime, you should only use HTTPS on pages where sensitive information is transferred. This will greatly increase the usability of the site as a whole. hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms
Members Cyberthrasher Posted August 14, 2012 Members Report Posted August 14, 2012 Overall, the site's not bad. I know you weren't asking for our critiques on your site, but this is stuff that will make people feel more comfortable setting up an account and working with you. So, if I had some more information about what is involved in being a seller, such as policies, and if there was an FAQ or something to help me get started under the "Support" tab then I might be more inclined to jump in because I'd know that you were making sure I had everything I need to be successful. There are also things you mentioned here in this post that I couldn't find any mention of on the site, such as "free merchant account to accept credit cards, a full marketing and advertising team behind the scenes". That's something I'd like to see some more information on. My wife's been struggling with Etsy quite a bit for her own handmade business, so another option would be great. I just want to make sure it's not going to cause her or me more headaches before I recommend it. hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms
Members craftstack Posted August 14, 2012 Author Members Report Posted August 14, 2012 If that is your site it needs some serious work. ferg The site is in fine shape, thank you! The issue with images is being corrected. The Zoom feature was causing problems with IE9. The image issue will be fixed in whole by Monday. If that is your site it needs some serious work. ferg The images are proper size. We selected a Zoom feature that is not working properly with some browsers. We are having this corrected immediately and you will notice this fixed completely by Monday! Thank you! Overall, the site's not bad.

We just put it online today and are still adding information for users. L Please check back Monday for a more complete launch with MUCH more informative pages for you to read over! I am confident CraftStack and our team will be a fantastic alternative to using Etsy as I'm quite aware of all the issues that Etsy causes folks! First thing's first.

Contributing Member Ferg Posted August 14, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted August 14, 2012 My comment was not intended to get your "dander" up. When you post info pertaining to a new site you should have it more finished than you have at this point. You should state the date/dates your upgrades will be active. Sunday and/or Monday can be misconstrued. All of us get excited about doing new things or setting up a new web site. You just jumped the gun a little. ferg The site is in fine shape, thank you!

You are correct, I would never transmit my secure information over a site that is not HTTPS. I figured you guys were still working out some kinks. Servers are what I do for a living, so I know how the launch day always "works" I'd still really suggest removing HTTPS from the general browsing pages and leave it for when people are making transactions and logging in. That will make browsing a lot faster and cut down on unnecessary overhead. I'll keep checking it out over the next few days to see how it's coming along. hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms

You just jumped the gun a little. ferg Ferg, My apologies if my response was spoken in-correctly to you. I had no intention of coming off as upset! :-) We just did a little pre-mature send out to get some feedback from folks and we seem to know pretty quickly the area's that need fixing! Im very glad to hear folks get excited about new ventures that can be beneficial to everyone! We are launching CraftStack so that all artist's who create products with their hand have an in-expensive way to get their items marketed and sold! We are going to be making adjustments to the site over the next few days I will make a nice big post for everyone when EVERYTHING is corrected and ready to go! Thank you for your kind words and we hope to see you with us!
