Beautiful template! I was wondering how the developers managed to attribute an image to each color product option, so that if you choose “bronco blue” the image changes without reloading the page. Any idea how this can be done?

@cooee:

Agreed, I really like this design, and it’s a great implementation of Magento. Sort of breaks away from the “traditional” store layout, which is always refreshing.

Looking at the source code, they’re using JavaScript to swap out the images when someone clicks on the image.

That was something I noticed too when browsing the site, thought it was a really good idea.

When I first saw the site I really liked the design. Great choice of background and smooth use of a transparency overlay for the left information column.

However, I found the 2nd level and third level pages a bit clunky and I’m afraid a bit slow to load at times (8mbps - 3-4 mbps average - connection).

That said, there are plenty of things going for this though I had to go back a second time to work out what was being sold … I think I got carried away looking at the design!
