We'll get looking at it.

Cool, feedback / constructive criticism is always useful.

I have a fairly unique storefront here;
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=61957&start=0

Criticism of this is welcomed, and I will accept it gladly. I am aware it's a fairly niche area, but it's good for those wanting equipment for their NS cities.

If I did join this, I'd make it explicitly clear that I'm joining it to learn more about creating a better storefront.

For a very specialized niche storefront, you have done pretty well. However, I do have a question. are the prices on your storefront for each individual unit? If so, then you might want to have a price for if a nation wants to produce a certain model of your streetlights domestically (you'd give them a production license, in exchange for money). You might also want to have a better separation between different products. A line or something like that would do. Other than that, it seems pretty good at first glance.

Lamoni, I'd appreciate it if you could review my storefront Spectrum Networks (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=60580), if you have a moment.

Well since Lamoni isn't on, I'll try my best to help you.

First of all it is a type of Storefront I've rarely seen so it is difficult to judge it. However if possible i recommend you remove the poll. If you wish you could add a consumer feedback section to the ordering information, but make it optional. Now the pricing or the channels, while providing a wide variety still seems to be to much. I would lower it to no more than the mid 20 thousands. Also I think it would look better if you added the history section, but left it outside of the spoiler as they tend to make the storefront look sloppy in my opinion. other than that i would recommend you align everything to the left as is normally done when typing and underline the price and bold the different times for the shows.

That is what I recommend, nothing much, and I have little experience with this type of storefront, but that is my review.

Thank you for that, I used www.streetlightonline.co.uk and www.leedsstreetlight.co.uk as my research tools.

id like to sign up...I do realise my storefront is still very far from perfect...But i do try and put in alot of effort. Also willing to accept critisizem although i seem reluctent at first(thats just my bad character).

I find it sad to see good storefronts swamped by ones that really took very little time and effort. I dont know about everyone else but even my worst work here took days, sometimes weeks of reading and writing, often to be trashed by the NSD(with good reasons). So it sucks to see people just pull stuff out of the air.

Im not sure exactly what can be done...It seems that when you offer people advise they reject it quite violently...Im not sure i qualify to give advice, most of my products have many reality problems(not theat the concepts are absurd its just that im not an engineer, just a soldier and military buff).

Anyways i stray. sign me in?

I get tired of seeing the same PMG guns and the same boring storefronts, of which almost all are armaments or weapons stores, so I decided to settle myself into a pleasant, warm niche, what essentially amounts to a cable company. I'd like to be able to provide advice to newer players so we can avoid this tedium, and maybe make Global Economics and Trade a better place for the new player. But, I digress.

I've cleaned up my storefront some (it's all nice and shiny now) and would like to re-apply for membership.

I had to hunt this thread down since it had sunk deeper into the forums than Id thought, but I agree whole heartily with your mission statement. Though I haven't been posting on the new forums much Ive had multiple storefronts over the last few years (going back to 2003 under the account 'Mekugi'), but to say its been awhile since I've had to format a new storefront is an understatement. That being said Id love to assist if you'd have me , and being as its been a few years since my last storefront I wouldn't mind a critique of my recentstorefront.
