New Websites

I’m slow with new posts this week, as this is a busy time at work. As such my extra time has been limited. After today, things start to get back to normal, so you can look for more news and figure / war game goodness.

In the meantime, a short update on some of our website projects. The first work you have already seen; the new look for Table Top Talk. Not sure we are done yet, but at least we have managed to freshen thing sup a bit.

The next site to get an update will be the HistoriFigs website. The site is now 11 years old, an looks it! The site will remain a bit on the old school side. Meaning this update won’t incorporate interactive, online ordering. Since we sell single figures for the most part, we are staying with a simple site with figure listings, pictures and ordering information. At initial launch, the pictures will still be a bit light, but we will have a picture gallery scheme in place and the galleries will be populated as we take new photos.

For, now you can get an idea of how the new figure listings will look. This example shows the new look as applied to our N-Gauge Thirty Years War figure listing:

Our first experiment with interactive, online ordering will continue with the Ådalen Miniatures site. This site already has a simple PayPal based cart system. We are experimenting with a better looking system. Something that we can apply to our other websites; Blasted Planets, Bloodaxe Miniatures and Resistant Roosters. We will post more sneak peeks at the new look just as soon as we nail down a few more details and solve a couple of nagging little issues with the functionality. For now, a quick look at a sample product listing (needs more work) from the test site:
