this Site miniSITE for A8 mobiles
NEW “INTRO” Site
www.chromtech-aus.com
( “chromtech.com.au”
  > now obsolete)

 . after countless WebDesign tools / upgrades
. . . Our basic Web Design Tool / edit tool is still via NOF version 3 to 13 - still “Clunky” but in simplistic mode
 . . . it’s OK for us-

3rd party tools used over time thru’ their evolution of some features and

pages are still maintained retained from Win XP >Vista>WIN7?. upgrades. .

& So . . . MUCH duplication
we apologise !
. . . but IT IS Dynamic
. . . & that’s called evolution !. . . & it’s still On-going
& never-ending !

2015+>

Now ! . . . Our SITE is Compatible with . . .

• PCs (. . .  of course ! ); PDF, FlipPAGEs, AND many FLASH features

• Fly-out Menus, NAV BARs,, fancy Slide Shows . . .where HTML-5 still chronically struggles OUR preferred System But the WEb destroyed most of That! . . . with HTML5

and YES! . . . Now2 2018> Apples, I-PADS, Androids, mobile phones are now generally supported via our Website
. . . albeit with some limited features; NOW with some screen resolution compatability
 . . . eg  but still NO FLASH yet! . . . ( but that’s their problem / hangup . . .  NOT Ours ! )

some of our “proto” SHOP

still useful for our Internal simple use

Interfaces to MAL’s Cart

On-line SHOPPE

 - NOW fully Functional and includes built-in Search feature
 . . .with some limitations / compromises

Mobile SHOPPE
(miniSITE)

. .. A QUICK Overview . . . fully functional with some “on-the-fly” improvements
 . . . but we R still under development.
Mobile MalsCart we cover ~1000 individual item in this Shoppe
(out of 30,000+ in our complete range ) many with up-to-date “system pricing

>>> NOW ! FlipPAGE SHOPPE via /index.PHP extension
to ALL FlipPAGES “URL”
Prices for our MAIN Supplier 18,000 items but YOU Search for them
via CatNo SEARCH within the FlipPAGEs
Whether we add more ???. . . it IS unfortunately also feeding INFO
to our competitors . . .but catch if u can !
 . . .  but we may/will require YOUR Registraion in future for full pricing

our SHOPPE(s) ??? . . . but Now several versions ?
. . . and “it’s called evolution”
 . . . BUT All are more or less “ in sync” . . . based on the same pages/info and similar features
. . . to cater for those who want options or have their own “hang-ups” re new ideas, lack of resources etc

PC SHOPPE  . . . MALs CART is NOW “fully” implemented
with a really “slick” FlipShop variant and “system”
. . . Prices are up-to-dateat least for our Main Supplier Products

BUT NOW 2016 - fully implemented HTML5 integrated SHOPPE
at chromalytic.net.au ( but No Prices on-line NOW ! here ! )

The initial HTM PC SHOPPE - an attempt to include some Drop down option, Radio Buttons . . .
& dismal in hindsight . . . not really relevant to us !
 . . . far more difficult to DB integrate / implement into database / accounting systems anything worthwhile !
 . . . Improvisations . . .
Shipping Costs ? . . . currently improvised . . . soon to be based on Post Codes in Australia
 and by Weight of consignment
functional but very much improvised . . . short site Cart designer problems ???

International Shipment - Freight Costs to be added manually entry only by customer  . . . as a separate Line Item in CART . . .$85  $95 min charge plus $20/kg $35 is typical
; . . . & at our cost price
where kg weight in description of goods AND/OR for obvious heavy/bulky items

A similar Import freight charge applies ( to be added ) for non stock standard items

Generally . . . For SHOPPE Carts to really be feasible . . . someone some “smart-arse nerd” out there really needs to work on Database integration with wildly fluctuating Currency Exchange rates in mind

. . . Hence Our need and temporary fix / “work-arounds” . . . but cum 2019 Now I’m becoming completely disillusioned with our SHOP Carts

PCs Vs Mobiles ? controversy

OK I concede the “junkie mobile” era has arrived

Mobiles . . . apart from the “dislexic twittering” . . . they are bloody bullshit . . . for nigh on useless for all intents for practical purposes . . . disseminating useful technical inf o

I find it difficuly to even make a “bloody” phone call on them . . . too many damn options confusing “menuing Nav” etc options

But it’s improving with phone technology > screen resolution, wireless bandwidth and pixell screen resolution etc

2018-9   OUR reasonable compromise - HTM is a useful Index to FlipPAGE Technology
with “pinch & zoom” even a 400px screen is usable to view an + to Print A4 . .  .with “squinty eyes” but with an I-Pad or Android A8 even better

We’ve NOW largely converted our detailed/extended “original” PC Site into a 600px format ( from the “original” 1300px screen format)

If you access our main site via Google it auto - reverts to our WIX 400px “simple MickeyMouse
HTM format albeit to a “mobile” HomePage

SORRY! but those “clunky” new web design pages ( for example Wordpress ) . . . are not for me ! even tho’ the multitude of plug-ins might offer impressive graphic effects
and “chewing up” bandwidth of course !)
WIX is OK  and one site can serve both format purposes small mobile > tablet > PC
Nor are these reallyuser friendly  OR practical for managing a Large technical info based Site
. . . let alone a Shop with a large Product List

That “blocky” text format is still the limiting factor

so mobile > www.chromtech-aus.com > 400ps  but our HTM ongoing links can revert to the PC format inadvertantly and admittedly a bit overwhelming for “most”

for Tablet or a PC > www.chromtech-aus.com/shop is quite s bit simpler in many respects
we are trying to achieve “some sort’ of interactivity

GOOGLE Ranking and SEO  > “rorts”

beyond ALL That ! we are still battling against the odds with GOOGLE etc

despite a tremdous amount of effort from us trying to do the right think . . . after 25years  we Still have never achieved ANY sort of ranking for our website efforts

One is perhaps Not surpised after G..g.. being fined “millions” for mal-practitse they do seem to grudgingly conceding and forced to be a bit more forthcoming with SEO on-line assistand

But as for those “up-start” 3rd party SEOs out there . . . what a joke they are !
. . . my opinion ONLY !    . . . with All due respect !
