NWDAnet.com - New NWDA site

FrankB · July 27, 2009, 09:29:16 AM

Hi,

we're happy to announce our new website and preset store at http://www.nwdanet.com

NWDAnet is going to be our one and only, and primary website going forward. It's based on a real content management system and a professional shop solution that supports the sales and distribution of digital products.

Our customer will now get a proper purchase order confirmation and download codes for their products, with which they can go to our site and "redeem" these codes at the download area.

I didn't plan to launch the site so early, but I was kind of forced into it because the old site is locked by the hoster, as I was exceeding traffic limits, but I didn't want to unlock it through buying a more expensive hosting pack for another year in advance. (the old site is still live but I cannot make any changes and the product downloads don't work anymore).
Well... it seems the prime time for the new site has come ;-)

So the site is not entirely complete, as there's still some content to be migrated from the old site. The shop and the galleries, and most of the tech articles do however work.
There's also some fine tuning as for the appearance of things that I will apply over the coming weeks, and some modules are not live yet, such as the contact module and a few other things.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy our new site and the new user experience, and I am grateful for anything you point me to that is not working as expected.

For anyone wanting to purchase the tech packs: don't try to buy through the old site anymore, only buy through http://www.nwdanet.com

Cheers,
Frank

Looks nice Frank. So, are you going to put the First Contest Gallery and Results back up?

FrankB · July 27, 2009, 11:04:52 AM

thanks Jay!

Absolutely, I will put the contest gallery back up :-)

Bookmarked and quickly browsed the site. It is well put together. The old one looked more like a fan site. This one has professional polish.

Glad to see this has come to pass! Joomla is a good CMS, it should serve you well.

OK, Got it bookmarked and the old site deleted, now to go explore the new one

Very excellent design, congrats! I went through the same thing a few years ago with a cheapie host, and had to rescue my site after patching it with bandaid hosting upgrades for awhile.

Which payment methods does the new site accept?

FrankB · July 29, 2009, 02:08:27 PM

paypal only - but that allows you to pay also through a credit card, or even your regular giro home banking as well.

Regards,
Frank

Hi Frank,

Been trying to register at the new site because it didn't seem to remember me from the old one. In the registration process, after I entered all required info and check agree. I get a "Invalid Token" page. I did this twice and double checked all my info. Still can't seem to register so I guess I can't purchase or comment. But I can look at all the pretty pictures.

that's weird. Just tried it myself and it worked just fine.
I also checked the user database, and you don't seem to have an account yet. The former nwda site didn't have a user registration at all.
I can also create an account for you. Just send me your desired user name by email.

Regards,
Frank

Thanks for the prompt reply Frank. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with "Firefox" ?

So all you need is User Name and Email? You'll assign me a password I presume?

buzzzzz1 · August 08, 2009, 10:56:36 AM

Well I just tried again using IE and I'm now registered. Hopefully I can log in using Firefox? I'll let you know.

Thanks again Frank

Frank,

Just tried to login using Firefox and no go. Perhaps someone else would be so kind to try with Firefox to confirm ?
