hey up all, been working a site redesign today.... any feedback welcome: link

d*d · 17-12-2007, 12:29

very nice as usual, how are you planning to do the drop down with translucent gradient?

thomasvining · 17-12-2007, 12:37

thanks d*d! good question

I guess I'll go for a semi-transparent png bg, and a gif substitute for the lower browsers.... need to dig out some code on that one.

rglover · 17-12-2007, 13:30

Holy crap! I remember finding the original TokyoCube a few years ago. Very cool site, and the original design was nice too. The redesign is good, though, the description header/paragraph should be aligned with the toys/fashion category header.

illvibe · 17-12-2007, 18:50

I like. It's interesting to see how tokyocube has evolved to only be a toy shop. Gotta go with what's working.

wheedwacker · 17-12-2007, 19:22

looks nice
only one complaint: the toys' shadows don't go in the same direction. Almost every one is different

thomasvining · 17-12-2007, 23:16

thanks for the comments! we're launching a brand-new fashion section, hopefully in january, hence the site redesign, so I'll post back when it's done.

tsakali · 18-12-2007, 01:24

it has a crystal clear feel to it, very nice

revok · 18-12-2007, 05:13

Very nice. Only minor complaint is that the nav looks like it might be a bit fiddly to use? The current site's good, but this looks better.

Killbot · 18-12-2007, 17:45

I agree with everyone else. Very nice. The only thing I see is that "Feedback" needs to be bumped to the right a bit to replicate the space used in the other areas of the nav such as "Categories."

Well done.

hawken · 18-12-2007, 19:19

I'm sure we could fix this mess after a few jagermiesters

boroova · 19-12-2007, 15:49

I would only justify the paragraphs, and maybe enlarge the menu font a little bit.
Otherwise, great!

i3lance · 20-12-2007, 08:03

I like the toad on TC. Kicks a$$...back to your Q though, I like it, I can't help but think that the vertical scroll onstate images are missing something - visual framework...can't put my finger on it.

thomasvining · 20-12-2007, 23:42

great, thanks for all the feedback! got pulled onto another project so couldn't continue, but will take onboard the comments and finish it off in the new yr...might add a subtle illustration to the left side...hmm, not sure.

hawken, that jagermiester was evil, lol.......nonetheless, it's always a perfectly good solution to most things!

veckd · 20-12-2007, 23:52

wow, great color scheme, great layout. Very nice.

thomasvining · 15-02-2008, 11:09

I've just been working on the framework (home, details) for this (feel free to comment on bugs you find, as I'm sure there'll be a few), and I was thinking of either adding a subtle watermark graphic to the left of the page, or leaving it super clean... any comments/suggestions?

- Mikey - · 15-02-2008, 13:36

Very nice, I like the super clean style.

thomasvining · 27-02-2008, 20:23

hey all, I'm just testing with live data at the moment, and wanted to see if you guys spot any problems with the site before I push live.

teapoted · 27-02-2008, 20:45

everything works fine here, even in IE.

However the sliding flash box to the right is a bit annoying,

thomasvining · 27-02-2008, 20:50

yeah, I need to tweak it so it slows down correctly on rollout in IE. In the firefox is behaves correctly, and should be less annoying
