As such it is our parental right to choose not to let it grow up in any old, haphazard way. No way. Instead, like the best meddling parents, we plan to tweak it, prod it, give it singing lessons and generally muck about with it until it meets with the approval of as many members of the general public as possible.
To achieve this noble aim, I'll share with you a few of the things that we've been working on and planning, so that you can tell us if what we're doing is any good or not. Here's the first installment:
Recently added:
* Add a sale discount. If after 30 days at full price a product hasn't sold, designers may now go into My Account > Items on sale and choose to set a discount level. Once it's set, the product advert will show the old price alongside the new price. Occasionally we'll run some sale promotions and feature the best discounts on the homepage.
* Line breaks in advert text. Some of our designers have a lot of good stuff to say, so we addded in line breaks to make the more 'wordy' adverts easier to read.
* Pay your bill. If a designer makes a sale or buys some extra images, they can now see a breakdown of the charges in My Account > Sales Made > Pay Your Bill. We'll still send an invoice when payment's due, but here you can view the details and choose to pay by an automatic re-direction to Paypal. The same applies for any adoption elements purchased: My Account > Sales Made > Pay for Adoption Elements.
* Contact Us and Careers. We've added in a 'Report a Problem' form and a Google Chat application into our Contact section for anyone who needs to get in touch. Links for most of our social networking sites are there too, if you'd like to be our friend. If you really want to be our friend, we've added some info about working with us in a new Careers page.
So what do you think? In a while I'll post some of the additions that we're either about to add or are still thinking about so that you can comment on their relative wisdom, but feel free to email or comment with your reactions or ideas.
