New OcUK Website

I think I like it, the old one did need bringing up to the 90's 
grumbles so far would be it needs a 'view all' link; if a section has 70 items, instead of going through all of the pages, i'd like them all on one page - like the old way - makes it much easier and quicker to get to things
i think the 'amazing deals' image was a bit of an 'easy way out' and should have had the title of each section in there, instead of a graphic - or a graphic image of what your looking at "oh where am i again, yea, the amazing deals section"
the colums of products should default to 'sort by name' its early and i just worked out why i couldnt find an asrock mobo
while i can appreciate the work gone in to the new site, those little things would be cool for me, maybe not for everybody, well done on the new site
thats enough for now

I do actually kind of like it. A few points:
-The "Amazing Deals" bit at the top of each page is pointless and ridiculous, someone has already said it feels a bit patronising and I have to agree
-On the old site it was nice to be able to see the details of an item without clicking on it, and also a larger picture.
I like the new shopping basket on the right hand side though, it's much much quicker to add and remove stuff now

personally i liked the old layout as it was nice to see a big picture of the item and a description by the side, it looks as if ocuk has gone the way of their competitors with using the same layout and lists, as said it would be nice to see a view all item when their are lots of products, other than that thumbs up from me

Efour2 said:YOU REALLY NEEDS some High RES photography for the zoomed product shots they look absoloutley naff when you click on them, honestly horrid and amatureish
Much better than the old one.
Apart from Efour2s' comment, which i agree with, those close ups are pants.
I like it

arghhhhh!!!! one thing i loved about the OC website was all the nice picture icons where you could browse, just made it a bit more interesting to look at the website... now it just looks too much like No competitor talk please! and places like that... call me simple but hey!
It does look like the combination of 3 other hardware e-tailer websites (I shan't mention names). I also would like higher-res pictures in the enlarged images but it's nice to see you've kept the informative detailed product descriptions. I also think the proper breadcrumbing and filtering are a definite improvement. Overall, a thumb-up here, I just think it looks a bit generic now

Well done ouck much better only thing i whould like is the option to "Show All " isted of you have to click on each number to change page else looking good. very easy to use
I must emit i prefer the older design as well.
The old design was very clear and very informative. You could look down a list of items and have descriptions of each item, then make your mind up. The picture gave you a very good idea on what you were actually buying.
Now the site looks very generic and looks like everyone elses e-tailer shop - easily forgetable. At first it looks very confusing. Maybe the old site could have done with a update but nothing major - i feel.
The stock levels, accounts and reviews section are the only new things I like, but they could have been added to the old design?
ps. "Amazing deals" needs to go - its in the way of the things you want to buy.
