Responsive Web Design and many updates

Posted on by

Perhaps the final bigger update for 2015, we finally integrate the Desktop and Mobile web resulting in the entire site now using Responsive Web Design (RWD), it is not only making GiftCiti look better on different devices (desktops, tablets, smartphones), but also to ensure GiftCiti is using the latest technology, that is, more modern. ^_^

Below are the major benefits / different for this update:

Sinlge URL for Shop
eShops do not need to add the “/m” on their URL for mobile web anymore, user may simply use the same and unique URL (e.g. www.giftciti.com/nicestore) to enter your shop, the web site will automatically show the proper layout to desktop and mobile users.

Shop Layout
Shop layout looks different but feel similar, it would better suit different devices, and easier to setup. Shop user may setup the Themes color more easier with the Preview feature.

And More…

  •   New First page
  •   Search Products page: Add Advanced Search
  •   New Shopping Cart screen
  •   New “My eShop” setup
  •   Shop Item page: Add Whatsapp and Line Share tools for mobile users
  •   Shop Item page: Add QR Code
  •   “Item Search within Shop” and “Item Search within Site” is combined

 

Any comments? you are welcome to contact us, thanks.

 

Shop “About” page to raise shop transparency

Posted on by

A small but useful update this month:

This time it’s a small update, an “About” page is added to Shops. It encourages shops to introduce themselves, their missions, product range, speciality, and additional contact methods, etc.. in order to raise the transparency resulting in more confident in purchase from shop.

Unlike before, shop description is not only shown at the Shop Searching result page, it’s now also shown at shop in a convenience and standard way to enhance the effect.

Also, it fixes the color / size setup problem for Style Items, it had an error that the number of size an Item could have depends on the number of Color it has. Thanks to BE6IXTEEN.
