$20 million site? come on...
at my old job we had begun development on the entire quiksilver.com & roxy.com websites, and their budgets (combined!) weren't even anywhere close to that amount.
granted, they weren't going to be selling products on their site, only displaying them, but that's only a small addition in functionality.
not to mention the site was going to be a flash/html hybrid that was very well done and was using technologies very similar what you're doing on the pacsun site.

who did that site and back end?
internal team?

He means the site does $20 million worth of business.

The only site that comes to mind that might have cost anywhere near $20 million to create - and that's because of some serious audio inegration work and groundbreaking use of Flash - is

I can vouch that even though I have been gone more than a year, that the hierarchy of power prevails at PacSun....and it does create a lot of problems, not only because people start throwing a fit if their 2 cents dont get used, but also your job is just about on the line.

If you think a site that just displays products and one that sells them just has a small addition in functionality your way off base. It changes the websites roll in your marketing plan and business processes dramatically, not to mention the technology factor. Even with using web services, it is still a HUGE step to go from a site that shows off products to one that sells these products.
The postings of the majority of the NT community just confirms my belief that the majority of designers are ignorant about most things business.
On the other hand, I guess that is what you get for bragging about your site to a forum full of egotistical designers.

hey dprskier, my point was that that functionality alone wasn't worth an added _#_ of million dollars to the budget.
also, i'm not sure where you're able to come out and speak as some sort of authorative figure when all of the work in your portfolio is student work, and have yet to work a day in the real business world where companies are as tight with their budgets as the jockstrap that's riding up your ass right now. despite what you may have heard, they won't throw millions this way and that for a shopping cart, or anything else for that matter.

On the contrary, dprskier, most of the postings confirm that many of us have good eyes for site design that doesn't match a brand at all.
If you don't have that, who gives a crap about whether or not it has e-commerce functionality, or is just a site to showcase what is in the store.
I mean, the closest that site comes to representing the look and branding of PacSun is about 50x20 pixels in the top left corner, you know, that area that is yellow and black and says PacSun.
You need a lot more than a logo to succesfully match your branding.

I think it's the best thread ever.
Honestly.

The top nav doesn't have rollovers? Neither does the list of items after clicking into a section. Feeback to user = good.
