Review:
What's not to like about the new Mozilla Store?
The tagline says it all "Support Mozilla. Get Cool Stuff!", that's something I
can go along with.
A cheerfully casual and loosely gridded design, with a tangible paper and
inked-up lightly worn look that is easy on the eyes. There's no sales pressure
or hype in this design. The focus on community building is present in the
design, and the store sites interactive features. Picture yourself sporting some
of the casual wear or gear with a story to tell, and you just might find
yourself in the Community Spotlight bragging on your own design skills and web
standards superhero status.
There is a on the redesign of the Mozilla Store by John Slater,
Mozilla's Creative Director. John has covered many of the features and focus
of the new store site, thanks John.
The curious thing is why the good folks at Nobox.com have designed such a
user-friendly piece of work for Mozilla, while their own site remains
flash-based and much less accessible.
If you have any comments on the design and/or it's code, please let us know
what you think.

The submission form stripped the link to John Slater's blog, I'm hoping it won't here:
There is a
nice blog write-up on the redesign of the Mozilla Store by John Slater,
Mozilla's Creative Director. John has covered many of the features and focus
of the new store site, thanks John.

How do all these damn spammer's get their links in here, I need a lesson, lol.
meh
Ditto meh...yea it's a decent site but is it really all that unique and special that it deserves front page here after no site has been front pages in a month or two?
These captchas are absolutely frickin ridiculous...
Points for the header, it manages to be clean and simple but still with an emphasis on creativity.
I'd love it if the navigation and large images that act as buttons had selectable text. Not that the site needs to be uber search engine friendly, but I'm left wanting copy.
Minus the shadows on the icons, the site is nicely put together. Not too much to distract you from the products themselves. Once you make it to an actual product page, the site shines with an even balance of color, typography, graphics, and copy.
Thanks Antoine, we need more people like you on this site with critical and on topic comments.
I second that about the captchas...
Good News ... The CAPTCHAS are history.
I have a new way of combating the spammers.
Simon
Ps... Good solid site review.
The captcha's were preventing even the faithful from entering comments sometimes. I was missing getting the right captcha text myself.
Thanks for keeping an eye on comments Simon.
Catcha's may have worked, but that thing was industrial strength as a buzz-saw. I think it even required the use of lower and upper case, still not sure.
JPEG-compressed blurry text on images looks ugly! (I mean "free stickers" banner, etc) And it's not even any fancy font!
They could've used real text + CSS and add photos using background-image. It would be nice'n'sharp, accessible (they didn't bother adding alt text either), and photos would compress better.
But no... it looks just like bunch of slices straight out of Photoshop.
I don't mind this site. It might not be the best or most original design in the world, but it's not awful. The overall feel is quite nice I think.
Well done making this site table-less. I am seeing unfashionable tiny fonts. Users now demand more readability and they should really be as big as the mozilla.com navigation fonts that the site links too.
I would prefer - no expect - to see an hover states on the left hand navigation. Some of the cart icons look a little tacky and the inputs could do with Labels.
I agree with the above poster. The omission of a hover state on the left nav is big. Also it bothers me that the large image in the center is a few pixels off being aligned with the right images. Overall I like the site and graphics work up top, however I've never cared much for the light blue/orange color scheme.
