Slim Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Is it right this cost £300,000 ? for a bloody links site !!! Not sure if this is the venda thing, but have noticed that venda use paypal to handle payments. I don't understand why wouldn't a small business just go to paypal directly?

slinkydevil Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yes this is the Venda portal. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 On a different note I'd like to see an initiative like this over here: "A NEW service designed to revolutionise the way in which Islanders shop online will go live on Tuesday. From next week, Jersey residents will be able to buy from the websites of major UK stores such as Ikea and Currys and have goods delivered direct to their door by Jersey Post. Purchased items can be sent to a warehouse in the UK and then delivered by postmen. The scheme will allow major items such as sofas, fridges and flat-screen TVs to be bought from the UK. However, it will also cater for much smaller items such as a pair of shoes." http://www.thisisjersey.com/2009/08/29/new...onise-shopping/ http://www.ship2me.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Git Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 On a different note I'd like to see an initiative like this over here: It sounds a good way to close all local businesses and just have the likes of Tesco, Boots, and M&S survive while the rest of the shops are empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yes this is the Venda portal.Awful. Weird, doesn't appear to be hosted on their stuff. I like the way it's primarily a .com and not a .co.im, and that the DNS is with 123reg in england, the IP for the web server shows up as being in guatamala, provided by a london company called Locayta. ShopIOM eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it definitely would not be all bad news for the local economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonday Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Spacings worse in ie8 - last screenshot was Firefox. The white shop advert patch on the top RH obscures the sideshow of goods behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yes this is the Venda portal. Awful. That is pretty bad! £300k - that is ridiculous, a 14 year old with Actinic could come up with something similiar to that for a fraction of the price.

The Old Git Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 But would be good news for the Post Office and the transport infrastructure in general whilst helping to increase choice and bring down costs. So it definitely would not be all bad news for the local economy. i know you often mention this aspect, but a local shop generally has sales people, delivery / installer staff, office staff, etc. They all can't go and work for the Post Office or local carriers, so as well as exporting money off island and out of our economy it would also raise unemployment.

Amadeus Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 £300k for that??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Excuse my language but fuck me, they must have seen them coming. Unbelievable, just unbefuckinglievable and they're trying to tell us no-one could have done this better locally? Someone needs shooting here, urgently.

Tempus Fugit Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I suppose the £300k includes the costs of supporting the participating business in the scheme over the period (3 years I think) and not just for the shopiom web pages. without a kick, how many local business would actually get off their **** and do it though ?

That's my understanding of it as well. After that's it's £50 per month for the shop facility, which seems expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
