Keep your visitors looking with Minilist
One of the common usability recommendations for any online shopping site is to ensure that shoppers can find the things that they want with the least number of clicks. Currently in a Printfection store, if a shopper is viewing one product, lets say a mens tshirt and they wish to see what other shirt styles are available, they need to click back up on the breadcrumb or menu to get back to the parent section. Until now!!

To Build a Better Slideshow
Its been a while since I released the original TeePlates slideshow. I have seen it used well in many stores. There have been afew requests for some improvements to be made, including being able to have more than one slideshow on a page as well as some alternative transitions to the default fade.

Now of course you could just go ahead and drop a few images into your Home Page HTML, but I think there may be a much better approach using a new web based tool called Glogster.
Glogster is a kind of a digital scrapbook where you can create rich content with images, sounds, music and videos to create a web page. The best part for us though is that we can use it in a Printfection store to get that much needed product display. Glogster is pretty simple to use, so I'm not going to go too much into how to set up your page. Here is one that I have prepared earlier.
