So this is my week to beat on Sandvox. I think the product has great potential, but still needs some work to do a basic website (my website isn’t all that complicated). Yes, I am reporting the bugs I find.
The first bug (which their support guy has reported with my test site) is that I can’t create links for pictures. Minor inconvenience, but all my links (except for screenshots) are text.
The second bug is that for my site logo, I made a 200×128 graphic (that’s what the box says the size should be). If you look closely and flip through the pages on the design I chose, the navigation bar height changes by a few pixels. Most people wouldn’t notice, but that’s the kind of person I am. After thinking that my site was hosed, I rebuilt most of the site (took over an hour) and had the same problem. I then tried logos that were smaller than 200×128 and didn’t have the problem. So, I made my logo 200×120 and the problem is gone. While not disastrous, very annoying.
So where am I? My site works and I’m moderately pleased with it. I think the look is cleaner than before. Next I have to hack on my store to clean it up. I wish I had a better store system, but for now, it will do.
