I used your website to send flowers today, and I'm happy to support a small business accepting bitcoin. However, your website really needs some fixes before I would shop with you again. Here were a couple things from my experience (using Chrome browser):
1. When trying to select an arrangement, the page scrolls through options automatically. I constantly had to navigate back to an arrangement I was looking at or reading about since there is no way to stop the automatic scrolling. Just keep it simple and have a static page with options.
2. When you change the arrangement size, it doesn't update the price until you hover over 'add to cart'. But this isn't explained anywhere and I tried to change the size multiple times before I could see the price differences.
3. After paying with bitcoin, there is a message to call and confirm your order if buying after hours. First, there's no definition of after hours. Second, why would I place an order online, receive a confirmation email AND have to call and confirm by phone after? Very inconvenient.
4. When I went back to the site after completing my order my item was still in the shopping cart like I hadn't made the purchase. Glitchy and made me wonder if the order was actually placed.
I hope you can resolve some of these website issues and your business is successful.

Hello,
The After Hours Flowers has just implemented Coinbase to accept payment in Bitcoin!
We are excited to become a part of this community and hope to learn a great deal from everyone.
Thanks for being here and we hope to hear from you soon!
So... If I should need flowers at rather peculiar times, I may use your services, I presume? What do you've got in stock? Sunflowers? Tulips?
|
I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

Glad to have you here you're very much welcome. Thank for offering your service in return for Biticoin. Make sure to post a thread letting everyone know in the marketplace or services section so people can find you site. Also try to get added to a list of merchants that accept Bitcoin as another way to get traffic to your site.

Hey scribbles, thank you for your input! I am sorry to hear you were getting frustrated, but really appreciate the feedback. To address your critiques: 1. When trying to select an arrangement, the page scrolls through options automatically. I constantly had to navigate back to an arrangement I was looking at or reading about since there is no way to stop the automatic scrolling. Just keep it simple and have a static page with options.
I agree, this was an idea our designer had to make it simpler but you are not the only one to complain about the slider. For the time being I have slowed it down and as long as you have clicked on any asset of the page (form, add to cart, etc), it will stop sliding to the next page. 2. When you change the arrangement size, it doesn't update the price until you hover over 'add to cart'. But this isn't explained anywhere and I tried to change the size multiple times before I could see the price differences.
The prices were taking some time to update because we had our Wordpress site (already slow) on shared hosting with Register. I have purchased a VPS from Briehost who is reputed to have some fast and straight forward VPS, also accepting coin payments Our server should be fast enough to avoid future problems with showing pricing... 3. After paying with bitcoin, there is a message to call and confirm your order if buying after hours. First, there's no definition of after hours. Second, why would I place an order online, receive a confirmation email AND have to call and confirm by phone after? Very inconvenient.
We will change this as soon as possible to define after hours - we have this notification because we are too small to have a night time manager on staff at all hours, but we are working on hiring one as soon as fiscally possible 4. When I went back to the site after completing my order my item was still in the shopping cart like I hadn't made the purchase. Glitchy and made me wonder if the order was actually placed.
I have informed my developer of this point and he is fixing it now. Thanks again for the support, and check your PM inbox for a $50 coupon. It does not expire, so you can use it whenever you think the time is right

Yes, if you need flowers delivered at 3:37am - or any other unconventional time - to someone in NYC, we are the only company that will do it. Our current summer stock includes: Sunflowers Roses (all colors) Lilies (all colors) Daisies Carnations Poms of all sorts Alstroemeria / Peruvian lilies We can also accommodate any custom order as long as we are given notice, since we do not always stock every flower type we need time to go to the flower markets in the morning to buy them for you Don't hesitate to reach out with a phone call or email, or here on BTCtalk if you need any help!

Welcome to bitcointalk. I think I found a problem on your site. For the "Spring Wishes Bouquet" in the "Office" section, are you sure the image shown isn't the "best" size?

adaryian, thank you! Hello theafterhoursflowers, Welcome to bitcointalk, and welcome to the bitcoin world and to the crypto world. may we all grow rich Good luck to you with your business. soccosocco, yes.. I hope to amass enough bitcoins to buy my own pizza Welcome to bitcointalk. I think I found a problem on your site. For the "Spring Wishes Bouquet" in the "Office" section, are you sure the image shown isn't the "best" size? Buziss, very observant of you! I think it is the only product on our site that states the image shown as the "better" size, but this is intended. Best will be an additional 5 stems to the bouquet - I need to find a better way of sizing the products and being clear about what you get for the different options. Thanks for the input though!!
