[00:17] website I've told you guys about this in one of my last update videos that I was and you guys gave me a lot of positive feedback and I took those into consideration so this is what we designed I had somebody do this for me
[00:30] so thank you to him you know who you are and so this is the new website this is what we came up with now if you guys have any suggestions at any point in this video go ahead and leave a comment down below or go on to the new forum
[00:45] I'll show you that later so this is the home page you start off with a nice big MK smart house logo and telling the audience what it's about it has the new guides and the new most recent guides that I made so you have the sauna power
[00:59] strip the blind system and the gpio binding obviously these will change when I make new guides and then we have the new products the LED strip there as very pie kit and the blinds control now if you've been following along with my
[01:14] single video about the LED strip that's because for those of you watching this website I'm bringing in the kit because we will be starting the LED strip neck
[01:26] this week on Thursday I will be showing you a demo so if you want to get ahead of the ball and buy the kit for it it's right here you go I have to click on it it's in the new store which I'll show you later and then just like the old
[01:38] website it has a recent blog post I'm going to be having somebody do these blog posts for me so there will be more blogs I know I made like three of them and I never made it anymore but they're coming back and there's gonna be more of
[01:51] them and then at the bottom here we have all the different social media networking sites now I do post to these social media network sites so some of you already knew about this website a couple days in advance I already told
[02:05] you on Twitter and Instagram I'm very active on those and also on Facebook I active on those and also on Facebook I respond to messages through Facebook and respond to messages through Facebook and Google+ rarely but anyway and then you
[02:19] have the terms and conditions of the website the return policy in the shipping policy now another feature that I had on the old website and I'm keeping this one is the donate button really helps me out a lot some of you guys are
[02:31] really generous and I really thank you so if you ever found any of my content useful something a guide that I made or something useful please donate I really appreciate it it helps bring the channel alive and keep new stuff coming and
[02:46] alive and keep new stuff coming and another thing is our mailing list so if updates and discounts I sometimes send out emails I don't send out a lot of out emails I don't send out a lot of them at all and for this video if you
[02:59] join this email mailing list you will get a discount in the store so once you join a discount will be sent to you in your the email that you provide and in the future I'll send updates new products that come out what I'm thinking
[03:12] maybe even ask for your engagement much more so subscribe to that and you'll get some content in your emails a big thing that you guys said in the other website even had some people in person tell me that the navigation isn't the best so I
[03:27] made it so it's these tabs in these tabs only so there's home guides forums blog only so there's home guides forums blog contact shop and about so let's go into guides which I'm very proud of you now have three tabs for guides you have open
[03:42] up to so stuff that have to deal with open up too and the server you have control which is devices to control stuff so like your sprinkler system your blinds controls the LED strip will be here in the future and then you have
[03:57] your sensors which are your sensing devices I'll go through them so this is open up to you have nice big pictures showing you what it's about and you can here you have the guide you have the product links you also have the
[04:12] hardware for setting up the network shows you all that the software video is shows you all that the software video is everything all nicely organized same thing for the control you have all your control guides and the sensors
[04:28] alright so now so another thing is the forum's see we have a new forum right here so I the other forum was a bit confusing the way it was so instead I brought a traditional forum about so right now I have you can start your
[04:42] own topic right now I have one topic for the new website so if you've watched this video and you would like to live feedback on the website go ahead and head over to the forum and reply to this post I'd be awesome and overall I will
[04:58] you leave like a question in the forum's I'll try to answer it and then the next tab is the blog it's pretty much the same thing like my old website then we
[05:10] have contact so if you want to contact me directly and for a direct email you your message here and that will be forwarded to my inbox and then I'll try to reply to you then the next tab is the shop so I'm very proud of this I like
[05:27] awesome so let's go ahead start from the top the first thing you see is free shipping and all orders over 99 I'm excited to announce that if you have a checkout total of over 99 dollars you will get free shipping so a lot of you
[05:43] have been complaining that the shipping costs are pretty bad for international us is not bad but international it is there's nothing I can do about that that's how USPS is they charge a lot of money for it so to compensate a little
[05:56] if you do have an order over 99 you'll get free shipping so it's like a win-win shipping at all you're paying nothing alright so next you have the search
[06:08] search the store for that product so say you wanted you want the door sensor you you wanted you want the door sensor you can type it in boom and you'll get all the door sensor stuff let's go back to the shop and so yep here's your back to
[06:25] the shop button here's your cart and then we have three categories there's parts kits and PCBs so if you want to part you can have your raspberry pi or 3d printed parts and then your kits so for all the different
[06:41] devices I show you how to make you have a kit for it and then lastly you have the PCBs so you have the PCB used to make the devices and then on the main and the or that are currently right now I will
[06:56] obviously when we make more and more devices so let's go ahead and add the door centerpiece be for example as you can see we have the title we have two
[07:08] obviously and then you can choose the quantity so you can choose if you want a three pack or if you want a ten pack of these PCBs and then here's just a little description and then you can click Add to bag and then go to checkout with you
[07:22] want and then here it gives you checkout and then if you go to checkout you type in all your information and here it shows you all the different shipping methods once you type in your address now if we keep scrolling down you will
[07:36] here why buy from MK smart house so the reasons you'd want to buy are you receive all the parts at once so you don't need to wait for one there's many times where I've had it where one you get almost all the parts
[07:51] you pretty much get all the parts where you're just waiting on one transistor and then you can't finish the project so that really annoys me so that's what I parts at once once you get it you can start working each order ships out
[08:04] within one to two business days after completed payment order will be shipped within one to two days accept pre-orders so sometimes I do run pre-orders on my site with those obviously shipping will take longer because I have to wait for
[08:18] parts to come in and then I can ship them all up so another thing is you have faster shipping with tracking numbers so this is different than Aliexpress because you'll get your package much faster than Aliexpress you can also have
[08:35] want to solder you can just choose the assembled option so for example let's do the door sensor you can either choose the DIY kit where you would put it all together yourself or you can choose the assembled option and everything will be
[08:50] assembled for you you'll basically get a fully assembled device you just have to fully assembled device you just have to load the firmware onto it and then so
[09:02] compatibility is guaranteed compatibility guaranteed compatibility of all the parts so like sometimes you order so sometimes you order the wrong part and then your project doesn't work here you have compatibility guaranteed
[09:14] so all the parts will work together and be confident in your purchase you are not buying from an unknown seller every purchase you make goes through me I put together your shipment you receive it and you know its quality and you know
[09:27] it's exactly what you wanted and then lastly support MK smart house every grow and make more for you so every purchase you make benefits the
[09:39] channel and everything that's going on in it so I can make more videos so I can make more kits and more stuff for you and overall continue on with my main message of the powerful low-cost smart home solution because I really want
[09:53] everyone have a smart home that's my overall dream and goal and life is to provide a smart home for everyone then the last tab is the about page I'm not gonna read this if you want you can read it this just shows you my overall
