  • Typekit: If you use Typekit for the fonts and you can see the site make the font switch from a default to your special font, you are experiencing "FOUT" = flash of unstyled text. You can add code to the stylesheet not to load the page until the font is loaded. More info: http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/6852-controlling-the-flash-of-unstyled-text-or-fout-using-font-events
  • Put a ‘My Projects’ button in even for anonymous users. They're cookie based.  Tied to the user's browser. Just like the anonymous user's shopping cart. 
  • Use relative links. Relative links are best. If you need it to a link to a secure page like ‘checkout’ then add the class=”secure” attribute to the anchor element.  (or sign in)
  • Linking to products/groups. Use short links like shop/photo-books instead of the direct links generated from Lab 50
  • Newsletter signup.  html can’t have a <form> within a <form>. The site is already wrapped in a <form> so any others get tossed out. The submit would need to be scripted or pop something up.

Note:

Info
titleEffects of Clearing the Cache and Previewing Changes

Umbraco content is still cached locally on each web server for one hour. This means that the changes will not show on the production Photo Finale site for up to one hour after the central cache is flushed via myLab.

However, dealers can preview and test the Umbraco changes sooner by accessing the sandbox version of their site. https://*TheirSiteName*.pfsandbox.com.

The sandbox site will fetch fresh Umbraco content from the central cache every minute.
