My updated website

[TerryT]

Even though I wasn't finished building it, I got tired of the old "Unique Gifts" website. It was extremely hard to update. So I build a new, better, more functional, easy to use and better looking site (at least I think). In keeping with my long standing tradition, it isn't finished yet. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Looks nice, but how is security handled? Never could find any indication of a secure server being used for creating an account, logging in, or in the checkout process (although I didn't attempt to complete a full checkout). What benefit do you get by pasting the user's IP number on the bottom of each page? Just a couple of things I noticed on a really quick glance.

On checkout the customer is passed to the secure server (Paypal IPN). Paypal handles all the payment info then re-directs the customer back to the site after payment completion.

Nice looking website. I too use Zencart for a couple of sites I have. Lots of support and I think they have a addon for anything you could ever want.

Nice job!

It looks really nice, If you don't mind me asking are you getting sales from the site, or is this a good place to send people to see your work but the sales are made in person?

That sounds great - but what about signing into the site? If that's not done over a secure server the password is generally considered to be compromised which has the potential of compromising stored user data.

Both, we get orders from all over. Just got one from Alaska in fact. But it does also work to send customers to so they can see what we have. When we do craft fairs, etc, we can't keep a lot of stuff with us. I tell quite a few folks to go to both our sites and look around.

I use it for both of our sites. Once setup it is very easy to add or delete products and maintain the site.
