NEW StampWants - First Screenshots Revealed!

Postby Mark on Fri Apr 03, 2009 1:30 pm

We've been working on the NEW StampWants since December, and I thought I would share some of the progress with you. Here's part of the results page when searching for "Franklin" in the Stamps section (the mouse was hovered over the second item when the screenshot was taken):

search_standard.png


And here is the same page but in Gallery mode:

search_gallery.png


And again in Mini Gallery mode:

search_minigallery.png


Just a few things to point out:
Images are larger.
Notice that when you hover over an item if there is more than one image you can view both, both of which now have much larger previews.
There's several Refine Your Search options, not just by category, but by price, seller, location and more.
You can see what stores match your search as well.
You can see the shipping costs, which include shipping and insurance to your location.
You can click on any seller's username to view only results from that seller.
You can click on the X to the right of any seller's username to remove all results from that seller.
The category upgrade feature will become the category/search upgrade feature, giving more exposure to sellers and more relevant results to buyers.

YEAH BABY! :thumbup:

That looks awesome, looks like you incorporated about a zillion members requests into all the upgrades.

Any kinda of ETA for when we get to take it for a test spin.

There's still a LOT of work to do. It certainly won't be done in June, but I'm hoping that by June we can have people start using some of the new pages as a test mode...

Yes the NEW StampWants will have a white background. Currently all of the important areas on StampWants already do have a white backgrounds - all browsing/searching pages, the forums, the My StampWants area, item listing pages, etc. They all have white background for easy readability but are then placed in boxes with black backgrounds around them. This creates a lot of contrast on the pages, which becomes distracting to the actual contents. So in the NEW StampWants we're basically removing the external black backgrounds around the boxes so the whole page flows together.
