Looks great! I have two things here that I would tackle to polish it and make it perfect though.

The menu on the right is slightly popping out to the left.
You need to get rid of the dropdowns since there is no variations to choose from
Get rid of "Variations of this Product" in the product titles since there are no variations.
I also (personally) think a nice graphic "add to cart" button would look much better here and match the site better

For 2) http://forums.shopify.com/categories/2/posts/30338

Hope it does well from the Huffpost traffic!

Happiness Is - The Movie by ericlyleklein

ericlyleklein — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:44:22 +0000

"Happiness Is" is the second feature documentary from filmmaker Andrew Shapter (critically acclaimed for his first documentary called Before The Music Dies). Andrew wanted to try out a new DIY distribution model where his production company, Roadwings Entertainment, sells directly to fans. Additionally, he offers the film free to anyone who wants to host a screening. Charities all over the country are currently hosting screenings where they are able to keep 100% of the proceeds on donations from the screening while Roadwings only makes money if people like the film and want to buy a physical copy or a download.

We created his store with Shopify due to its flexibility, robust feature set, and ability to look like it is part of his own site - and because we only had one day to get it something set up. We also added on the Fetch application to handle digital downloads of the documentary. Support from both companies has been outstanding. The film is being highlighted on the Huffington Post on Monday (Nov 9) so we are hoping to start off with a bang.

Fantastic idea mate. i think i'll have to purchase a couple. Heck, in this economy your logo material could be endless :-) and needless to say who doesn't love the Commodore 64 shirt!

Great job DefunktOne.

very cool site and shop idea carlito. That video still has me "hugging the ground".

A shop like yours must be a boon to the slackline community, eh?

BTW Thanks for putting together that Cheat Sheet Mark (http://cheat.markdunkley.com) - it has been invaluable!

Haha, love the site - great job.

My only comment would be to make sure you link up your text on the social media bar of your site. Just having the icons linked may not be enough. Screenshot below:

Wigify Affiliate Management App - Now Available by wigify

wigify — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:31:56 +0000

Hi There Shopify Shop Owners.

If you have ever wanted to increase traffic to the Shopify store you've worked so hard to create? Then do we have the app for you :-)

We are pleased to announce that the Wigify Affiliate Program Manager is now available through the Shopify app store.

For those unfamiliar: An Affiliate Program allows other users to use their site's web traffic (blog, forums, google adwords, etc) to promote your store and it's "goods".

E.g., Your affiliates could write a review about one of your products and they would include an uniquely coded link to your shop (provided by wigify) for their Reader to click and then be directed to YOUR store.
If that Reader purchases one or more of your 'goods', then a percentage of that sale goes to the user who brought you the sale.

Affiliate Programs are a great way to motivate other individuals about your store and to have them help make your store all it can be.

Installing the Wigify Affiliate Program Manager is free and Activating your shop costs only $1 USD for your first month.

Find out more here.

Much success everyone!

Thanks for the fantastic feedback guys!

@ Philippe So that's how you found us ;)

@ Mark I agree about the farm image and making the images clickable.

I will suggest the Beef videos idea to the Eaglehawks team - they definitely know their meat!

Iconic Sport - Performance golfwear for women and men by Dave Yankowiak

Dave Yankowiak — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:07:39 +0000

Hey Shopifiers!

A few weeks ago we launched a new commerce site for my client Iconic Sport, a line of golf apparel created by designer Leslie Chow. It was my first site on the Shopify platform, and will not be the last. Seriously, I've used all sorts of platforms and have never had as much fun customizing as I did with Shopify.

The Iconic store is at http://store.iconicsport.com and this San Francisco brand specializes in super stylish performance golfwear for both men and women, but primarily women. They offer shirts, shorts, skirts, pants, vests, and have gotten a lot of attention for their UV-protective armwarmers/sleeves.

I would love any feedback on the site! Thanks Shopify for a great experience.

Well done. Great content and very easy to navigate.

The only part I really found slightly confusing is the sidebar on the homepage. The images on the bar don't really relate to the content below. For example "Visit Eaglehawk Farms" should have an image of the actual farm. Making the images clickable might also be helpful to the end user.

It would be awesome if you could get your client to film some video content for the "Beef Tips" page.

Fantastic work and can't wait to see the next site.

Just adding this bit from a later post. Stuart had trouble with this code if the returns were greater than 50 (a Shopify db limitation). The code was adjusted to:

{% paginate collections.['eveningwear'].products by 1000 %}
{% for product in collections['eveningwear'].all_products %}
  <li>{{ product.type | link_to_type }}</li>
{% endfor %}
{% endpaginate %}

To accomodate queries that returned more than 50 results.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for checking out the store and for giving me the tip. I changed the color element and it looks much better. I didn't realize the cut off when seen in widescreen like you've shown me.

Take care,

Beta: SalesClub - Community sales app for Shopify by izit

izit — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:18:49 +0000

Introducing SalesClub

We have developed a Shopify App that allows you to host your own closed sales events. A closed sales event provides time limited product sales to a closed user community. Examples of similar concepts are:

- Brand Alley (UK): http://www.brandalley.co.uk/

- Buy VIP (DE): http://www.buyvip.com/

- Ventee-Privee (FR): http://www.vente-privee.com/

By creating your own Sales Club you can create limited sales incentives with special products, prices etc. Large brands use this technique to sell "older" stock or "limited" stock. Because of the time limitation, customer are more eager to buy since products are only available at that timeframe.

We are opening our App for a closed beta and are looking for 5 Shopify users who run a successful shop and are interested in offering closed sales events to their users. We will closely interact with you to receive feedback on our App, features and usability. You will get access to the App for free but you need to give something back :-)

If you are interested to test out our App leave your email at the website: http://www.salesclubapp.com

regards

Jeroen
