My New Website and Old Inventory - Even my 1892 Proof Set!

Windycity

I am looking for opinions and feedback on my new website.

After years of collecting, eBay sales, and wholesaling, I have finally taken the leap into a robust e-commerce coin and currency website. Just made the new site available to the public yesterday and I am sure there are a few bugs to be ironed out but would like to get reaction from forum members. I have tried to make quality large images a prominent part of the site and easy navigation and search. I welcome suggestions and ideas on how to improve. To launch this site, I am including much of my personal collection.

While it will be very hard to part with my baby, I am even putting my 1892 Proof Set up on the site... The Dollar below is part of the image of the site.

#1 Beautiful dollar

#2 The site looks great, nice color, simple easy layout, nice gallary. One thing I would add is a link from within an indiviudal coins page to return to the previous page. The back button isnt always 100% reliable or the most elegant way to return to previous view.

#3 The stacked coin abstract logo seems so overused. Or maybe its just standard for the industry now. Or maybe you were the first to use it. I dunno but I see that thing everywhere!

The proof set gallary is broken in IE. You have the Morgan listed twice, top and bottom. The bottom one doesnt open properly.

I like the site and will surf it later!

Peacemonkey... good catch and suggestion. Will talk to developer regarding the "last page" button and I have fixed the proof set images problem. Thanks!

<< <i>Just what we need....another dealer.......soon I am afraid there will be more dealers than collectors, and I will be forced to also put up a website showing my want list.
However that being said, of course i wish you good luck and good fortune.Cheers! >>



We can always use another dealer with nice coins... I've seen a couple sweeties on the OP's site so far

Very nice looking website, I like when the format is easy to use and pictures are there and good quality. BTW great 1892 proof set, wish I had one like that.

Classy design and graphics. I like it a lot.
Coins just look better with a black background IMO..
Photography is very good and the enlargements on individual coins is excellent. I too might sugget a 'return' button/ link to the coin enlargement page. My backbutton works fine though not everyone is going to find that super easy..
I've bookmarked this one! Some nice stuff in that inventory!!!

Nice site Pat! I usually find websites with a black background difficult to read but yours doesn't seem to do this to me.

The site is appealing visually and easy to navigate. I like that you have a lot of selection out there for a potential customer to browse. I didn't make a purchase, but you may want to put a very low priced coin out there and ask a buddy to buy it to test the check out function. All in all, I have a positive impression. Good luck.

Andrew, Appreciate the suggestion on test out the buying process. I did get a number of orders yesterday, and other than my lack of experience working with the site, it worked very well. Just haven't figured out the best shipping method for credit card payments. Welcome suggestions for that. Pat

I did not expect to find anything I wanted, as I know you are quite variety saavy and I like to cherrypick.

But I do see something I like and will be saving my money up to purchase it!
