After a delay, we have released our online demo for SiteDirector v4.6 a complete CSS / XHTML solution.

Please take a look at our online demo at http://demo.quilldesign.com. You will be able to see a full store with all kinds of different solutions and everything is CSS / XHTML.

If you purchase SiteDirector, you have the ability to download both the tabled version or the CSS/XHTML Tableless shopping cart.

We recommend the CSS version, not because it took us a long time to get it to production, but because it is much more easily customizable and search engines eat up the code, it's much easier for the spiders to read.

Also there are a few new features:

  • Previously Viewed Products - SiteDirector now stores the last 5 products the customer has viewed. This is great to allow your customers to get back to the products they were looking at.

  • Send Page To Friend - Nothing new in the ecommerce world, but somewhere along the line, this fell off of the feature list of SiteDirector.

  • Contact Form - SiteDirector now comes with a simple contact us form that you can use.

So, drop into the demo and let us know what you think, we would appreciate your comments.

Jaana's Gravatar Very nice job Paul!!! I love the new, fresh layouts!!!

I do have one comment though. The XHTML is not valid or at least the validator throws a ton of errors. I tested with strict and transitional and got over 60 non-validated lines.

You can test it out at http://validator.w3.org/
I believe in most cases the tags are missing / in them.

Paul Giesenhagen's Gravatar What you are seeing is the "content" added to the page from the console is not letting it be valid, we still have to clean that up .. but if you took our our HTML code for the products (ie the content we add for descriptions and such) it will validate

The /> closings get screwed up when the </li> are missing which they are in some of the descriptions.

We tested without any content and got validated code.

So check back over the next few weeks and we will have all the descriptions validated as well.

Thanks!!
