Improving Coriandr’s search
Posted by on
Over the last week we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to improve Coriandr’s search. Our aim is simple enough;
“make it easier to find the right things, quicker.”
As a marketplace, our opportunity to provide a great shopping experience starts with the search. The idea that gangs of buyers could be roaming the vaults of Coriandr, lost and alone, unable to find the one item that would complete them, is a very sad thing indeed! So much depends on the search doing it’s job well.
So, what are the plans?
- Make it easier to search. We’re going to be making some alterations to the way the search page looks and behaves. None of the existing search criteria will go, but the ease with which you can search for keywords, add tags, and generally browse through all the items on offer will be vastly improved. › Continue reading
Summertime feature update
Posted by on
Hooray for friendly gremlins with spanners!
During the last few weeks we’ve been busy tinkering away with some of the “behind the scenes” code over here at Coriandr HQ. That’s all very well of course, but it’s not very exciting for everyone else out there, so now (with the help of our friendly neighbourhood tech gremlins) we’re turning our attention onto some much more fun feature updates!
Something that has (in hindsight) been missing from Coriandr is it’s community features… We don’t give you any way of interacting with each other’s shops; of letting each other know how fantastic you think each other are; even of letting everyone know what your favourite items are! All that is due to change over the next month. There are two big dates coming up, the 8th May and the 1st June.
8th May (v1.1)
- Order communication. To make order communication easier, we’re adding both a convo shortcut and the email addresses of each user to the order details page. This information will only be visible to the two people involved in the sale, but will help massively when dealing with those last minute, but important, order questions.
- Favorites. Why, oh why wasn’t this here sooner?! You know how it works; if you like a item or a seller, add it to your favourites! You’ll also be able to share your favourites via email, and even use them to build a Coriandr Seedling!
Discovering deviantART – Valentines day
Posted by onHello all! I’m Molly, otherwise known as Tiny Pretty Things, and I’ll be blogging inspiration from far and wide! I can’t say when or how often, I’m like the inspiration ninja, striking when you least expect it. Remember I am writing these articles for you so let me know if there’s any way I can improve.
For the time being I shall be introducing you to the wonderful Artisan Crafts gallery on deviantART.com. I have been a member for a long time now, and I am always finding wonderful new artists I wish to share!
As today is Valentines (well, it was an hour ago) I thought I’d go with the topic of LOVE. So enjoy the eye candy!
