Our php configurator, which can be seen at [login to view URL] (specifically, <[login to view URL]> ) is becoming out of date. We need to make it ASP.NET based as we feel it is a much better platform. Along with this, the general appearance of the configurator needs to be improved and the user interface needs to be simple for the user to understand.
The new website design looks like this: <[login to view URL]>
The ASP.NET configurator needs to look more like the new design.
Here is the example I would like you to emulate:
<[login to view URL]>
Pros:
Ease of updating and adding to catalog (NUMBER ONE PRIORITY). Drag and drop functionality. It should be as simple as updating my facebook page and require no database or coding experience to work with. (WYSIWYG)
* One page per part
* corresponding ad on left hand side for each selection
* ZERO scrolling
* Category at top, subcategory on bottom which incorporates left/right scrolling. This example uses javascript, which I like.
Cons:
*Too white. Needs to use more graphics and follow the design of my new website design
* Needs easy to use save and load feature / wish list / send this to a friend feature
I want to emulate this design, taking into account the pros and cons I have listed.
Basically, this configurator needs to be easy on the eyes, easy to navigate, easy to edit, SIMPLE IS KEY. As simple as possible without compromising the needs of the website.
