A pre-order feature would be wonderful…and a lot less stressful. 😆

Apparently! 🙂
I think it would also be a good idea for Windstone to add a feature on the website that allows their dealers to place wholesale orders — that would be in a “dealers only” section of the website. It seems like that would make things less stressful for Susan and Karen!
March 8, 2007 at 3:52 am #548869The pre-order thing could be helpful. But I am REALLY up for the idea of adding a shopping cart for the direct sales page!!! I’m all about the secure online ordering via credit/check card, or after I fill out the order form on your website, forward me directly to Paypal so I can pay ya! I’m not always around my email every day unfortunatly, so this particular method works best for me personally. I would not have to worry about being online to get my order request responses from windstone, or check my paypal account every few hours to see if the paypal bill was sent to me so I can pay it (my paypal addy is different than my email addy).
Being able to simply order off the website via credit card, paypal or whatever-so I can be done with it in one sitting would be awesome! Just give us a little tab with options on what happens should you be out of stock on that item. Like a lot of websites offer tabs to click, “ship only when order is complete”, “ship in stock items now, out of stock as they become available (extra shipping charges will apply”…blah blah, yada yada).. I don’t even care if you don’t have an exact shipping calculator, many model horse websites I order from just estimate shipping for you when you place your order, then after they process your order they email you with a receipt showing you the exact amount charged to your credit card and the exact amount of shipping charged. That’s cool with me!
This would be a-w-e-s-o-m-e

Back when I was doing Webmaster’s classes, setting up faux business sites and all that, I was sitting there wishing I could volunteering my services for Windstone. XD
I wouldn’t know how to set up credit card fields, unless it’s your normal field and nothing too special, though, just PayPal, myself. And then there’s the fact that um…I’M NOT VERY GOOD. XD EDIT: Oh, yeah, and there’s the fact you need a database. I forgot about that part, because nobody every taught me how to set up one.
Webmastering buisness sites is hard work, folks. XD
Right now I’m just waiting for brown/tan griffin chicks. Why? THEY REMIND ME OF DUCKLINGS. And who doesn’t love fuzzy ducklings? ^.^
