Website Review and Suggestions

This site has gone a LONG way from the previous design I use to rock.

Let me what you think of the new design: http://www.LuciferCosmetics.com/

Thanks.

You have some issues with loading.

All these browsers are running on Windows XP.

I first tried IE 7, the market leader for non tech people. This took ages to load and your link to enter your store did not work, BTW the word ENTER does not appear on the stage. On clicking to watch the video I was taken to the site of VeohTV and prompted to install VeohTV. There was no way to return.

Next I tried Safari, here I was taken to a splash screen that was not intuitive as to how to proceed. Eventually I came to your home page, the video worked without re-directing. Your link to enter your store worked.

Next comes Opera, this was very like Safari.

Lastly I tried FF 3, again very like Safari.

I would strongly suggest that you try the above exercise and tweak your code until you get consistency across browsers.

Hope the above helps.

I see no text, Only Images...
I think it's not Search Engine Friendly.
I thinks it's good to add some text content on homepage.

Oh wow...

quite a bunch of errors.

I tried this on I.E. and FireFox at my house, and two of my friends' with both FireFox and I.E.

-experienced no troubles, and the pages loaded rather quick.

Then again, they all have high-speed connections.

What is your connection speed aldor?

Ayaw,

lot'sa images, not much text... very true.

Hi, I am connected at a nominal 2Mbs and just timed loading your site in IE 7 at approximately 50 secs.

Incidentally the video now worked but I was still unable to visit your store.

Hope this helps.

I don't like how you have to click "lucifer" when you enter. It just sits there until you do, and there's really no way to tell to click it other than just guessing. I promise this is lowering your pageview per surfer. Edit the animation so it flashes, says click here, etc.

That's what I was worried about. But I did set a ReDirect on the image for about 35 seconds I believe. In case anybdy was in doubt about whether to click on "Lucifer" or "Light to some Dark to others"- which takes the user to the same place anywho.

Were you able to click the "ENTER" on the homepage to enter the Storefront?

I've actually had a few people now tell me they couldn't get into the store.
