The Purple Penny Website Makeover

[purplepennyhunter]

Mark and I have spent a few months completely overhauling The Purple Penny Website.

See here:
PP Webshop

It looks completely different and the interface has also completely changed. We've moved it all over to Wordpress (with WooCommerce) which is what a lot of our other websites use including the Australian Coin Collecting Blog use. The shopping experience has also changed and will be much easier to use now doing a lot of manual tasks automagically.

Many thanks to Mark who figured out how to transfer all the data across which was the biggest hurdle we faced moving to a different platform. This change will also eradicate the security problems some forum members saw late last year. We now have an SSL certificate.

If anyone visits and encounters any problems or notices any errors then I'd be grateful if you'd let either myself or markn know.

Yes I noticed the new format and it will take me a bit to get used to but then I don't like change. You know I always let you know if I find anything that looks a bit odd or out of place so that won't change :winkextra:

It sure does look different, good job Mark :good:

Funny
Never thought I'd be saying this myself but yes,  me as well, I really have trouble coping with change.
Been in the public service for too long? They change everything there oh about once a week.  Just to keep the staff scared and constantly feeling threatened and intimidated.getting back to the topic at hand .....
Looks totally different! @
On my phone after I have opened up a heading the other headings sit below but are smaller boxes with the full word not going across the box so the header nox looks squashed butchery still activate
Also there isn't the recognisable purple penny banner

Had a look and (to me) much easier to navigate - I am Anolog with a lot of this stuff

Change? I am coping great with the new ordering system :shok: with first orders coming through.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. We haven't worked on the mobile friendly part of things, that's next on the list.

Thanks Robster yes it's broken. I just got some choice words from Mark. He'll try to fix it soon.

Yes, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.  The site now renders a lot better on mobile but needs a dedicated mobile search form.  I am done for now and will do it later.
