I don’t have a physical location, so customers don’t need to navigate to where I am. Customizing my site for mobile devices does not get me any benefits. Both of these require that my customers own a Mac desktop. Lets think about what my business is… I develop and sell RapidWeaver add-ons and Mac apps. So why wouldn’t I want that? In short, it does not fit into my business requirements. Responsive and mobile sites allow you to engage your customers while they are on the go in a way that is customized for their current viewing experience. Don’t get me wrong, I think that responsive sites are awesome. Now even if I wanted to change my theme, would I go responsive? Probably not. That is simply more time than I felt that I had, especially when I really like the current look of my site. If I were to change themes, then I would have to rethink all my page layouts, colors, buttons, images, etc. I did not feel that I had the time to go through an entire website redesign. I think that my site is still very elegant and current. I really love my theme ( Atom by Elixir) and was not quite ready to give it up yet. You may be shocked that I put so much work into something and I have not changed my theme! There are a few reasons why I did not change my theme… I built a lot of new stacks and will release them one at a time as I polish them up for consumer use. None of these new stacks are available for sale yet. This is why I spent copious amounts of time developing everything that I wanted into a stack that anyone could use. I got fed up with having to tell people that some cool widget on my site was custom code and not a stack that they could use. My main products page and all of my product pages were all custom work. The best part of this redesign? Everything you see is a stack… E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! While my site is done 100% in RapidWeaver, I had a ton of custom code. And if the product that you just added to you cart is apart of a bundle, we inform you about that as well so that you can save some money. This contains suggestions for other stacks that you might like. A new lightbox, Expose actually, will appear below the shopping cart. Now if you add a product to your cart, you will notice something else very cool. You can also clearly see the requirements for each stack. On the product pages, you will notice that you can now share your favorite products over App.net, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. These tutorials are displayed at random every time the page is loaded. We jam pack our stacks with tons of features and we want to help you realize their full potential. On the bottom of the category pages, there are featured tutorials and videos that will help you get the most out of the stacks that you probably already own. This is a really cool service that you should check out. I have integrated Searchpath site search on the main store and category webpages. The search/filter feature has been temporarily removed as that stack is still in the works. My old store page still exists for those that may prefer that. Its also much easier to find bundles and free stuff. This makes it so much easier to find the product that fits your needs. What’s Changed?Īs you will notice, all my products have been sorted into categories. The offer expires Sunday, August 18th PST. To celebrate the new design, get 15% off anything in my store with the code redux15 at check out. I am very happy to announce that I have completely revamped my RapidWeaver online store.
