Re: EGT Online Shop

That's all fine and dandy Dan but what other alternative is there?

I agree complete about the crappy code thing ... one reason why I didn't sign up on MySpace but on Virb instead because it was a better alternative.

There is not better alternative for CafePress ... short of building one yourself and that's not possible in most cases.

I'm just saying if I used a tool that coughed up code like that and I couldn't do anything but "live with it"... I'd jump ship... and I mean quick sharp.
I totally agree Dan.. you make a great point. Paypal html code is horrid! Deprecated and invalid, But you have no choice! I wish this was a perfect world...

Re: EGT Online Shop

Ok, I've looked into what CafePress and I see what it is.

Basically you can set up a shop like you set up a MySpace account right? then apply your themes or whatever?

Might I suggest CubeCart as an alternative for you? You'd have to host it yourself but it is valid markup straight out of the box and can be tweaked to the nines. Here's an example of one I did some work for:

Re: EGT Online Shop

Oh.... I see. So you're an agent for CafePress in essence then?

Well in that case you're stuck mate. If you ever want to start up for yourself, however, CubeCart wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Best of luck.

Re: EGT Online Shop

not an agent. All the material is mine, but for me its a lot better to have them deal with the printing on to the clothing. Basically its a printing company. (hint CafePress)
But all designs are owned by me, and are in no way property of cafePress.com

Eventually, maybe. But until I have enough revenue for a warehouse and the such, i'd gladly take cafepres.com.

Re: EGT Online Shop

I saw CafePress and thought nothing to do with printing. Like WordPress is nothing to do with printing.

Re: EGT Online Shop

There are quite a few companies like that

Zazzle is CafePress's main competitor.

Re: EGT Online Shop

Re: EGT Online Shop

Whoops! There you go again, heading in the wrong direction. Instead of making a clean, simple, usable website, you want to jazz it up with Flash.

The Flash works, and at least it shows some content; but just when I start reading, it cycles to the next item! Moreover, half of your items are useless (non-content).

Keep it simple. No amount of frippery will substitute for a clean, elegant design.

Re: EGT Online Shop

I liked it way better without the flash..sorry...

I can't read that fast.

If you are going to use the flash, then lose most of the text and just show the t-shirts.

Added Novelties on the home page.
