Been fiddling about with the layout again today and having checked the site on another emulator I’ve decided I need to rework the category page to make the image smaller, otherwise I’m struggling with room again. It would be quite nice to have a product image that isn’t square, but it seems Opencart doesn’t like images that break the original aspect ratio. Fair enough. Although the revised image fits better it doesn’t look as nice I think. I can feel the temptation to use tables to layout the category grid – am trying to resist this.
Anyway, here’s the latest iteration, tried the Opera Mobile Emulator today:
I’ve been examining the CostCo mobile site as that was well-rated on a site I was reading, but I spotted this afternoon that if you go down the navigation until you actually get to a product detail page, then it links to the main site, so you can’t actually buy anything direct from the mobile site. Seems odd.
To do list: I think the main menu (see previous post) could actually manage with links that are less deep, and I’m also thinking about reducing the header size to fit the “My Account” and “Basket links” alongside it, also think the input fields on that category page are too large.
