Prototypes from the Sketches

Hi all!

iMooveonline will be releasing a few previews of prototypes and future interface of iMooveonline. Well, we actually had quite a cool coloured interface, but we thought that it may not be that suitable for an online shopping mall, thus we switch to a white background shopping mall so as to have a more simplistic feeling:



But the result was disastrous! Haha. Yeap, building an e-commerce website or any online business is not just mainly focusing on the wonderful javascript or the sophisticated php codes, but it is also important to take note of the interactivity of the interface. Therefore, after reviewing on certain designs and matters, we made some improvements:


The new design is very much different from most e-commerce shops which are normally white to keep it clear and simple. Instead, the new design is a cool dark blue interface to ensure the pictures of the merchants stand out and to attract customers to click on the shops they are interested in. On top of that, the new background also ensure our headings, wordings and logo become more prominent then usual.
.........................................................................................................................................

1. As shown from the side, the log in screen is placed at a prominent area so that members can log in easily after browsing through the shops that they are interested to go to. You can log in as and when you like, without having the hassle to click around to the previous My iMoove page just to log in.

The new and improved search function, which is located on top of the log in screen will also allow better search of the types of stores you would like to visit. We will further improve this function and may even make it into a widget or toolbar to be integrated into your desktop or web browser respectively.

.........................................................................................................................................


2. The buttons now are much easier to engage with, as we input simple rollovers and drop downs to allow you to have a much wider selection then usual even as a non member. As most can observe, the iMooveonline logo is also being edited to a newer version which is much more suited for the logo with a spunky feeling in it as compare to the dull bubbly corporate look in the past.

As we are finishing up the last part of the beta system, we will be updating you and will inform everyone of the launch coming this end of the month.


Sorry to keep you waiting!

What's iMooveonline doing now?

Love is in the air.

Yup, its the month of Valentine and most people are getting gifts and flowers for their love ones or there are those who are single going for parties for single or just taking a rest at home from this commercialise day for Valentine.

As for iMooveonline, we are undergoing revamp and currently only the lucky dip is running for the front part to encourage users to keep coming in as our true beta system will be out by late of May 2008. Meanwhile, please visit iMooveonline testimonials to see how many of you have already won exciting prizes such as PSP, creative MP3 players and other attracting dips.

Well, I'm sure everyone is waiting for updates on how the true beta will be like after much testing. The new beta will be mainly focusing on better shopping experience around the globe and iMooveonline will be opening up to the world instead of just Singapore alone to allow customers get a greater selection of deals online. Moreover, we will be going in User Generated Content (UGC) system to allow you guys to grade the stores, to comment on them, to help them to advertise, to talk about your purchasing experience and of course to organise sprees together, not the manual way, but a new automatic system created by iMooveonline.

More details will be released in the following post and we will promise to deliver a whole new shopping experience to the world. =) Sit back and see how iMooveonline "moove" the world!



Cheerios!
