I agree substantially with that sentiment...

BUT, having used my Wave account recently for the first time to participate in the informal poll, I must say that I was underwhelmed by the appearance of the GSN payment processing pages on several counts.

- The colours chosen really obscures the lettering on the pages to the extent that I had to really try and figure what details they require of me.
- I had to go back a second time to fill in my VISA number just because I put spaces between every 4th digit of the number - just as it appears on my card. I remember it caused me a moment of irritation because it wasted time.
- notifying emails back - very courteous etc - but a lot more can be made of it. It surely will impress me immensely if it was sent back containing a little applet that can open up to look for installed financial software from any of the bigger vendors on my hard disk, on first use establish which file is my default financial database, and append the transaction to that database in the desired format (probably using standard SQL instructions). That would satisfy my (and I expect most of mankind's) slothful nature no end and make it my default payment system just to avoid having to manually input the transaction.

It sounds lit nitpicking, but I think attention to detail and slickness of presentation is so important, and explains why customers abandon their shopping carts. I did not leave with the feeling that Wave had put in an awful amount of creative energy into that design to ensure the slick appearance of the software frontend yet.

I realise that it really is mostly an experimental system, but with the spotlight hopefully soon shining a lot brighter, they do need to look sharp on every front.

Go Wave!

Kind regards

Paul
