Interesting that it didn't last one night. Maybe my bosses will listen next time I try to explain why the site I'm about to upgrade will have three months of performance testing before go-live.

its nothing really to do with the site, if a server can't take a high load of users then it will just grind to a halt..

did need doing though. as much as i like the old one it was a bit behind the times for a site as big as this

like it how it is tbh, it's simple and easy to navigate, and i have never had a problem, unlike certain other PC component sites whose components are lost in the clutter of ads, its clean and well laid out

Nah it needed to change, if you see the same things every time you go on the site you stop noticing stuff in other areas. It should generate business as people mooch around and find things they never thought they needed. I assume it's easier to keep up to date too.

BTW if they're still having problems I'm free from next Friday evening for 48 hours and I think you'll find as far as costs per hour go, I'm quite unreasonable.

I really like the new site, I must have timed it perfectly, just opened it up there and the new site was up and running. Looks fresh, clean, navigation is a lot better, colour scheme is good, looks more professional and updated. *Thumbs up*

And the new addition of having an account is much welcomed. Now I must hide my credit card somewhere before I'm tempted to spend more money.

Ditto. Looks great, good job.

Edit:

I know it was said it looks similar....But... C'mon :confused:

Looks good and seems pretty fast to navigate.

Townlea · 7 Oct 2006 at 01:58

Heres my first post of the night, well morning ...

The thing about the old OCUK website that it was unique compared to competitors.

Now its nothing special - its just like any other competitor websites.

(personal opinion - don't kill me alright

)

However - Fanatastic job with putting the new website together.

However I can't set up an account

This site reminds me of a site that a competitor in Manchester has had for years Wise post.

The new website looks nice, but its far hard to navigate than the old version, i prefer the old version as it has massive pictures showing what components what not just a massive list in the bottom to confuse the hell out of you.

Well shopping is much quicker, I just tried a "pretend" shop and it was much easier to add items to your basket rather than the old method of having click add, waiting for the browser to refer you to the basket, then clicking continue shopping. Saves time/clicks.

Also you can remove an item from your cart and add a new one in two clicks, and it gives you the running total. Easy to compare total system prices in a couple of clicks.

More I use it the more I like it.
