The new website is looking good now. Steve has done a grand job and he has all our gratitude. The new Miva 5 ecommerce upgrade looks much better than the old site; it’s much easier to manage; all the pages are now in the ecommerce app instead of being partly static pages as before; the site owner can edit content fully within the application; the URLs are a whole lot better; Miva 5 is a big improvement on Miva 4; and there are a ton of minor improvements here and there.

There are still some issues with duplicate URLs and other odds ‘n ends but they’ll no doubt get resolved. If you need a solid ecommerce solution on a small scale, or a big one that will handle 100,000 products, then Steve Strickland can probably help you out with a nicely-customised Miva 5 ecommerce store.

And if you phone him you’ll think you’re talking to Sam Elliott. That deep Texan drawl is a dead ringer for The Stranger in ‘The Big Lebowski’ . He should go into advert voice-overs.

Well, I never thought I’d get my website fixed by Sam Elliott…

Monday August 4th is D-Day for the new Lordprice website. A big upgrade has seen many improvements and plenty of changes.

Right now there are still a lot of dead links as we progress the changeover, but things look to be going OK. By tomorrow (Tues 5th) the situation should have stabilised.

The state of the checkout is an unknown quantity at this stage. If you get jammed up in there, please let us know! At the moment we are working on redirects - fixing it so if you go to an old page you get sent directly to the new equivalent page. However, it will be several days before this looks as if it will be complete - there are a lot of them to do.

Just go to your intended page via the menus on the front page and you should be OK. If you get lost in a black hole, then let us know, OK?
