We have just created a widget that shows the total value of products being sold through our DIY Online Store platform.
The widgets are updated in real time and as clients add new stores to the platform or more products the values will add up. So feel free to visit our site at any stage and look at the updated running total.
The widgets come up in three spots
Performance Canoes and Kayaks, one of our favorite clients have now gone live with their online store build in the dzineStore DIY Shopping Cart platform.
PERFORMANCE CANOES & KAYAKS specialises in technically advanced, high quality, paddle-sports equipment for paddlers at all levels. PCK is an authorized Australian agent for the iconic STRUER brand, as well as performance specialists ELIO, PLASTEX, SIPRE, LETTMANN, SELECT and G’POWER. PCK also offers versatile adventure touring solutions for the intrepid recreational paddler with the expedition tough range from NAUTIRAID. Recently they have also introduced the SEA EAGLE brand to our range, the global leaders in inflatable water sports equipment.
The shopping cart look and feel has been customised a lot based on the look and feel of their current website http://www.pck.com.au
The new look was given quickly by grabbing the existing css and changing that on the current store.
They are also leveraging Facebook integration by having a Like Us button on the sidebar and share me and tweet me on the product pages.
When dzineStore V3 comes around next month, they will be able to utilize youTube integration helping their customers make better decisions by using videos against their product.
They can also utilise their current subscriber base by sending quick emails to them.

WIth the launch of two new online stores based on dzineStore framework here are the udpates on the platform:
The store has been updated so that it looks much better than the older store. It is more sleek, pleasing to the eye and more functional.
The buttons have been smoothened and the menu bars have been give the web 2.0 effect.
The social media integration has been improved. There is a button next to each product to like it in Facebook or tweet about it in twitter.
The Store itself now has integrations with your Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and eBay accounts. If you have a Facebook account, a twitter account, a YouTube page or an eBay store, all you have to do is put the link to them on the control panel and they will automatically show up on the homepage and on the store pages.
Just put in your Google Analytics code and the Online Store will start showing Analytics reports on your Google Analytics Dashboard.
Do you use campaign monitor as your email provider. If you do, the newsletter section can subscribe visitors directly into your campaign monitor account.
You can choose between a flash slider or a jQuery slider on the front page to promote your products. Having jQuery slider means that your store is 100% visible in iPhone and the iPad and your mobile customers can buy products using their mobile devices.
We have improved the PayPal integration so that you only need an email address to start your online store making it quicker and easier to set up. You can also accept payments via credit cards through the PayPal integration making it more safe and secure for both yourself and your customer.
Lots of more updates coming soon, stay tuned. Pricing for dzineStore starts at $1000 AUD + GST per year. If you need a store by Christmas, please contact us at info@dzineclub.com
The new version of dzineStore now officially version 3 is up and ready to help Small and Medium businesses sell sell sell online.
Based on the new version, there will be two more online stores going live this week. Right in time for christmas. One of the stores only started a few days ago, which means we had to do some improvements on the framework to allow for speedier uploads and set ups.
The platform now allows multiple customizations. Not only can you use your own colours and look and feel, but the new framework allows a whole css file to be uploaded giving you more control on the positioning of the elements.
The Front Page Promotions has been upgraded so that you can choose between a flash one or a javascript one. Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages.
The store looks good on both the iPhone and the Android browsers. A customer can also buy products using the mobile.
The store is even quicker to set up. If you have the product images and a paypal account handy, it will be a matter of minutes before a customer can buy your products online.
More information coming soon. Stay tuned.
After venturing unsuccessfully in the Online retail space in early 2000, David Jones have just launched their online. The store looks great and we are excited that it will bring out all those other big retailers back into the online space. Big Australian retailers has traditionally not been as open to online stores and have tested the waters and decided not to jump in. This hopefully paves the way for online shopping.
There are some things that we don’t understand from a usability perspective why they have been put in such as double scroll bars. However the store is sleek and works fairly well. Hopefully this works great for them.
DzineClub is a fairly new business so not everyone knows what we do and what we are currently working on. Everyone that we have been talking to is asking what Projects DzineClub is working on currently. So I thought we would put up a list of our projects so that you know what we are working on, our expertise and if you have a similar project in mind.
We are currently finalising Zuccala Homes website which is a CMS driven home builder website. The website has a good mix of jquery, flash and social media components. Here is a list of what we are doing with them
We are currently building a recruitment website for a Recruitment company in Melbourne. The CMS will allow the client to post jobs and use custom advanced pages
We are currently doing the whole digital strategy for a rapper in California who is about to launch his debut album.
Hopefully this gives a basic idea of the projects that we are capable of running. Feel free to reach out on info@dzineclub.com for any questions.
Helps the customer enquire about the product at any stage of the purchase. If they were not sure about buying the product, your reply should help them make the decision.
Make it easy and quick for the casual shopper to your online store. As long as you get paid for the product and it is easy for the customer to buy it, that is all that should matter. Also make sure that you have the option to create an account for easier repeat purchases.
As you dig deeper into category, there should be options to refine your search based on different attributes. Colour, size, price etc.
Have a few price ranges to match the budget against products. More often than not a visitor is thinking more around the price than the product
With latest zoom plug-ins and scripts, there is no excuse to not have a picture that can be enlarged and zoomed into. Most products also require multiple angle shots for best customer experience.
Don’t make the shipping rates a last minute surprise (or shock) Inform your visitors from the start on how much it would cost them to ship the product.
Customers are always wary of buying products online. Make sure that you have detailed the return policy and re-enforced it on the pages to keep them at ease.
Set up alerts for products that are out of stock. When the product lands in the store, the customers get automatically notified.
Show a list of related products. If a customer is already looking at a product, chances are that they will want a related product or look at a related product as an alternative.
Make sure you have enough of the product pictures in real life scenarios. Think of IKEA for example. This makes a huge different in user perception.
