From Humble Beginnings...
|
To our many thousands of dedicated shoppers, the number of different looks the TechBuy
web site has portrayed over the last couple of years will come as no surprise. The TechBuy
site is always changing to keep up with the look and feel of current trends. Each new design
represents the growth of the site as a whole, and each design has been totally re-developed
to include easier navigation, new features and even more products.
The TechBuy site has been re-developed many times. Some of the re-development history is listed below:
-
The Current Design:
The current design has not gone live on any actual day, but is an ongoing version of
our previous layout, with changes to improve speed and formatting across browsers as
well as some updates to functionality and the 'look & feel' of the whole site. This is
still occuring today, and we now update continuosly to build a better experience for all.
-
The Previous Design:
The previous design went live to the public on 16th Nov, 2001. The design reflects
the changing nature of the web and the availability of a wide-acceptance of browser
standards such as Cascading Style Sheets and DHTML. The previous design was optimised
for Internet Explorer V6+, however, it still runs fine under NS4+ and IE4+.
-
The "Not-So-Long-Ago" Design:
The previous TechBuy site design went live to the public on 23rd June, 2001 and was
ripped down on 15th Nov, 2001. This design was developed to allow our product specialists
to add featured products to the front page using our administration system. This design
also saw the addition of the weekly poll to the TechBuy site. Many of our staff were unhappy
with the look of this design, so a vote was taken to re-develop the site based on customer
requests and all of the ideas from the TechBuy designers and developers.
The vote passed and the "Not-So-Long-Ago" design was abolished.
-
The Initial Design:
The initial design was rather simple compared to the current design and didn't have nearly
as many features. Although it was simple, the initial design seemed to be very popular with our shoppers:
There was a category listing, some live help and product details, that was it. No drop-down
menus, no TechBuy inbox, no forums...not even an express checkout! This design was made obselete on the
22nd of June 2001.
