Website Review and Suggestions

**Shophilia** · 08:00 AM

PLEASE take a moment to view my site. Let me know what you like, or if I should make any changes. http://www.shophilia.com

I'm still adding meta tags to the remainder of my pages. I recently converted from htm to php. I'm also working on centering the rest of my pages to resolve in smaller resolutions. All of the pages will also be compliant. All of this will be completed over the next few days.

I look forward to reading your reviews.

Hi,
I think there is too many information at home page... but there is not any price...only advertisment...

Hi,

Logo is cool. I would consider making external links open in a new window.

Is this a shopping.com API site?

Server is a bit slow for me... Maybe it's my connection...

Results pages could do with a little more styling perhaps.

Thank you for your comment. I modeled it after the big shopping sites, because the design and organization is proven to work.

I chose not to include prices or specific items with prices because I believe the shopper is shopping for something specific, most of the time, and can use the search bar, categories or department tabs or links to find that specific item. I personally don't care for going to a site that has items and prices splashed all over the front page, when it might not be what I'm shopping for, but that's me.

Thank you once again.

Hi tom0407,

Thanks for reviewing my site.

Will do on the links, thanks.

No, it's not a shopping.com API site.

I'm gzipped, it should be fast, although my partners are in Texas and were hit hard with Ike, it may be on their end.

Thanks so much.

Overall looks nice, but ...
I would...
-Make logo a link to home on every page
-Visualy the space on page needs to be divided up into sections
-add some borders maybe
-Too much space on the bottom of the page sometimes

Otherwise I like it.

There is blank space below the copyright section. Needs to avoid it.

Thank you so much for your comments. They're greatly appreciated. I'll make the suggested changes.

**Galaxian** · 09-30-2008, 11:04 PM

Good, but you should better compress the logo and change the menus orange hover to something more visible.

I think left and right skyscrapper is killing the looks of your websites. Also colour is not suitable. Plus front photo is also not supporting the look of your website. Try to change it.

Hmmm...Thank you. Orange is part of the theme, since it's in the logo also. It is a shopping site, so that's why I used the girl dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. One of the BIG shopping sites out there uses bold color, and is very successful. I modeled it after the big guys. Thanks once again.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I like the site very much but it is totally black and orange.

For the text and description of the products you should use another color probably grey.

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm assuming you're referring to the results pages. I'll experiment with the colors. Thanks again.

A lot of good features other people wouldn't think of, so that's great!

But, I don't get your lay-out.. Mainsite had orange navbars left and right.. I clicked health and Beauty and there it was all white with black letters.. then I clicked perfume and it was all white background with orange letters..

You should really stick to one style in my opinion.

For the rest I like the huge amount of products you crammed in there!

Thanks so much Maarten.

I'm not so sure what you're referring to. Both "Health and Beauty" and "Perfume" are orange and black. It populates through the same results page and template, with the same colors.

Thanks for your review.
