Cool Method of Online Window Shopping

- The Emporium Mall -

Shopping Online has just become easier and much more fun because of a very unique and attractive interface featured at The Emporium Mall.

The Emporium Mall - A Sample view of our Bed and Bath category. - Emporium mall, window shopping, House Construction Design Standards, new products, breaking news, press releasesWhile walking downtown, would you normally walk into a store that had no window to see what it has inside and didn't say anywhere what kinds of products it sells? Perhaps, curiosity might peak some interest, but usually you'll not even notice the store is there and you'll just keep on walking by.

If you wouldn't naturally choose to shop at an unidentified store downtown, why should you be expected to act differently while online? Basic text links and ads can only tell you so much about a shop, and so you are usually having to guess what the store will be like. You can just keep guessing...but you don't have to, anymore.

The Emporium Mall believes you need to get a better picture of the store you are dealing with, before you enter its doors and commence shopping. It's unique interface gives you a very attractive view of the shop's Home Page, along with a clear description of the types of products and services you can expect from that particular store.

To even further ease your shopping, the shops within The Emporium Mall have been selectively placed within specific categories. When you select a shop, it opens within a controlled window that provides a convenient way to still select from other shops within that Category or go to a whole new category. It's just like Window Shopping Online.

Be sure to drop by The Emporium Mall and increase your shopping pleasure.

 

New How-To Book For The Home

- Adaptable House Construction Design Standards - Adaptable Bathrooms -

Written in no-nonsense builders' language, this new book is a must-have guide when you start to plan your next bathroom construction project.

Adaptable House Construction Design Standards - home and garden, designing online, shopping mall, room design, online magazine, greeting cards, boutique, dreams alive, articles, poetry, submissionsCumming, GA. January 19, 2003 - Before The Architect has just released its standards for adaptable bathroom layout and building, "Adaptable House Construction Design Standards - Adaptable Bathrooms." The 24-page document focuses practical issues and answers about adaptable bathroom planning and construction for homeowners, residential designers, and house builders.

Adaptable design, broadly, goes by many names: accessible, universal, life span, lifetime, flex, etc. All share a basic - modifying habitable structure in recognition of occupants’ diminishing physical function, potential or actual. Before The Architect’s Adaptable Bathroom could be anyone’s bathroom regardless of age or almost any physical challenge.

"These adaptable standards are about what to do, how to do it, and why," says Before The Architect principal, Ralph Pressel. "These standards are print-ready; quote them to your architect, designer, or builder. Make them work for you. They’re the better and best from worldwide sources, including ourselves. This is about graying America, America’s extended families, homes that welcome everyone."

The document addresses single-family, owner-occupied, detached dwellings; architectural details. That’s most of the houses in the US. "Government guidelines apply to almost everyone except most homeowners," wrote Pressel recently. "That’s not a bad thing. Those rules skip past or just plain pass over many aspects of adaptable design and construction."

"Adaptable Bathrooms" covers general considerations, floors, walls, plumbing, wiring, and finishing. It is not touchy-feely. It is nitty-gritty, specific, practiced. It emphasizes safety, durability, and convenience in contractors’ language with explanations for anybody. As Pressel says, "We take it [adaptable design] out of conference rooms and committee reports and put it out on the job site."
