Hey guys. I just launched Humanboy's Button Press. (http://buttons.humanboy.com) So, if you need any one inch buttons, zipper pulls, or magnets, hit me up. Let me know you came from Emptees and I just might throw in a little discount for you. And, if you don't need any at the moment, at least tell me what you think of the site or if you see any bugs. <strong>*EDIT*</strong> You can now follow Humanboy's Button Press on Twitter. ...not that there's much there at the moment... http://twitter.com/thebuttonpress 2009-06-20T14:41:22-04:00 34 2009-06-18T12:49:04-04:00 42041 false false 473 473 2 2009-11-08T06:24:32-05:00 518 Them's is some nice prices you got my friend! 42041 Post 2009-06-18T13:01:22-04:00 1234241 11937 2009-06-18T13:01:22-04:00 Why, thank you. That's kind of what I was going for. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T13:02:13-04:00 1234291 473 2009-06-18T13:02:13-04:00 I like the site. Clean and simple to navigate. Only things i'd do differently is have the pricing go in the opposite order (smallest quantity first). I dunno, it's just what everyone is used to and will make it quicker to the client browse. And the products page seems to be unnecessarily long for me. I'd have smaller images on that page. Neither of these are biggies, but i thought it would be nice to get some feedback no matter what. Good luck with it man. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T13:07:02-04:00 1234401 6884 2009-06-18T13:07:02-04:00 Thanks, Matt. I'll take your feedback into account. I was one the fence about the size of the images, so I might make them a little smaller. Either way, once I get some time to take some decent photos they'll be replaced. It might make more sense to reverse the order of the pricing. I'll think about that one. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T13:11:32-04:00 1234471 473 2009-06-18T13:11:32-04:00 Nice site and prices, do you got any pics other than the mock up? 42041 Post 2009-06-18T13:14:36-04:00 1234561 8691 2009-06-18T13:15:22-04:00 site looks good. my only complaint is that the mocks look overly fake. they just scream photoshop. not that it's a horrible thing or anything, but it was a little wack to me. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T13:16:11-04:00 1234611 67 2009-06-18T13:16:11-04:00 Thanks, Ashes. No pics at the moment, I think I'll be taking a few later today or tomorrow though. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T13:16:53-04:00 1234651 473 2009-06-18T13:18:17-04:00 I love how clean the site is. Looks awesome. I do agree with Matt though, I think the prices would come across better if they were in increasing order. Overall, very good operation you have going on my friend. The site navigates easily, the prices are great and the zipper pulls are very original. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T18:00:46-04:00 1239181 9268 2009-06-18T18:00:46-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Joey said:</cite> site looks good. my only complaint is that the mocks look overly fake. they just scream photoshop. not that it's a horrible thing or anything, but it was a little wack to me.</blockquote> Thanks for the compliment on the looks of the site, Joey. Yeah, in order to keep overhead low, I'm not carrying a lot of stock, so I figured it might be easier to just show mock ups at the moment. Eventually they'll be replaced with actual buttons I make for people like you and the Black Axe. <blockquote><cite>RyanPimental. said:</cite> I love how clean the site is. Looks awesome.

I probably will change the order of the prices in the table. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T18:48:32-04:00 1240001 473 2009-06-18T18:48:32-04:00 prices are kind of high. a lot of companies have you beat. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T18:50:27-04:00 1240031 29171 2009-06-18T18:50:27-04:00 Really? Could you link them up? I tried to do some research before I made my price lists and from what I found mine are pretty competitive. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T18:52:10-04:00 1240071 473 2009-06-18T18:52:10-04:00 well, SOME of your prices are beat. but them some arent. when comparing to some places yours are high when it comes to low amounts of buttons ordered. but when they order more from you you tend to be cheaper than others. i may actually be interested now in ordering some buttons. i always like finding new button makers. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T18:56:47-04:00 1240141 29171 2009-06-18T18:56:47-04:00 Great site, and great prices. I have it bookmarked for the future. :) 42041 Post 2009-06-18T19:02:53-04:00 1240281 32611 2009-06-18T19:02:53-04:00 I like your site! I like the photoshop buttons! I like it all! Great Job! What is your turn around time? 42041 Post 2009-06-18T19:03:58-04:00 1240291 13561 2009-06-18T19:03:58-04:00 like this, but i think their prices go up higher than yours when you actually compare side by side. <img src="http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/5334/promolion2.jpg" /> 42041 Post 2009-06-18T19:08:55-04:00 1240341 29171 2009-06-18T19:08:55-04:00 Thanks, Riff. What I did, was try and get the prices cheaper as the quantity went up. I feel like if you want to make a good sized investment you should get a higher return when you sell your buttons. Thanks, sane. Let me know when you're ready. I'll be here. <blockquote><cite>ExaltedByMark. said:</cite> I like your site! I like the photoshop buttons! I like it all! Great Job! What is your turn around time?</blockquote> It depends on what you're interested in. Like I mentioned above I'm keeping my overhead low, to keep costs down, so if you're in need of magnets or zipper pulls it would probably take about two weeks. If you're interested in regular buttons, I'd say about a week - maybe a little more. But it depends on what quantity you order. 42041 Post 2009-06-18T19:16:47-04:00 1240441 473 2009-06-18T19:16:47-04:00 <blockquote><cite>quixotic said:</cite> Thanks, Riff.

Thanks for pointing the site out. I didn't come across that one during my research. You've been very helpful. Just let me know when you're ready to order. :) 42041 Post 2009-06-18T19:24:18-04:00 1240551 473 2009-06-18T19:24:18-04:00 Site looks great!
