Alex & Sam @ HelloTurtle

Sam has been busy testing and finishing off the charity sites today - adding a couple of content updates to them in the process. We also located a small bug with the normal site - an old login box could still be found! It was embedded in some other functions so took a bit of effort to replace, it is all functioning properly now though!
I have been working on the basket functions for the mobile app - the way it calculated costs wasnt quite as sophisticated as the mainsite (although for the majority of item combinations the results were the same) the calculations are now identical to each other. I also worked on some of the account functions - the address editor now shows fields relevant to what you are editing.

After being given the mobile app to take over I thought it wise to take on some of the more simple tasks first, especially as I have done very little OOP programming previously! I have added the pages detailing delivery information and added a "terms and conditions" page. I also edited the navigation system slightly and added some account functions.
Sam has been busy working on our charity sites today - adding more content and testing. Aswell as doing some more work on the additional content for the live site!
We are also getting ready to add some exciting new products to the site, so keep checking back for more information get your hands on that extra special personalised gift for the people you love!

Alex & Sam @ Helloturtle

As per last week Sam spent the morning working on new features for the live site while I worked on the App. I also found time to fix a minor bug that I noticed on the normal site - it took a couple of minutes to come up with a fix - and then a while longer to make sure it didnt break anything else!
This afternoon we worked on the card builder - creating a way in which users could swap card pages without reloading - this should save people some time - especially for users on slower connections or using slower machines. It needs a little work before it can go live but we have it working in tests.
With the easter time events coming to an end its time to look to the future - starting next Monday with St Georges day! Our designers have been busy creating lots of wonderful cards for all occasions - so whatever your reason to celebrate - a HelloTurtle card will not go amiss!
