Hey peter,
Just from a shopper's view, I really liked the site. It was very clean looking, and easy to navigate throughout the whole site. All of the pages loaded fairly quickly, and it seems you have a good selection of product's. The only thing I did not like was your logo in every single picture of the product's. It made it look cluttery IMO, and in some of the pictures it even looked like at first that it was part of the product. (blending in) Nice Idea on your site, Love the domain name and the idea behind it!

Hey Pete,
Nice site, my g/f loved it.... the pics were good quality and spaced well but i have to agree with Chris714 in as much as the logo over every img is a bit confusing. Overall though its a great site!!

I agree with previous comments about the logo placement on all the images. There's gotta be a more discreet way to do that.

I don't understand why I have to click "Enter Store" from the front page and why items pictures on the front page are not linked to those items in the catalog.

The item pictures are good. It would be more convenient if a large-size rollover gallery was placed right on the item page. If I click on an item in the list, I definitely want to see a larger picture of it, not just a description.

The price should be next to the "Add to Cart" button on item pages.

Not a fan of lettuce green "Your Order Ships for Just $5!!" sign. It's also repetitive with the sign right above it (All of your orders will ship for just $5!).
It would be better to leave only one and make it stronger.

Overall, a shoppable store.

I would suggest using a semi-transparent watermark on the images instead of the all-out label you're using now. Doing so will make the WM nearly invisible on pages where many thumbnails are lined up like this, but it will clearly mark your larger images if someone tries to use them.

Also, the streamlined interface you have that directly points people to the shop is a good thing. I felt like I was missing a navigation tree on the side panel, though. I don't want to say that's necessary, though, as it may just be my preference.

I am new at this so hopefully my comments help. On the entrance page, it would be nice if you could click on the purses displayed. Otherwise a customer might see a purse they like there and have to go hunt for it (unless that is your technique to keep people in the store and viewing pages). Also, I called my wife in to look at it and her first question was, "Who's the designer?" If there is a designer maybe list their name under the thumbnail picture. I do like the layout on the site. It is very user friendly and good job on the pictures. It is nice that you can view larger images and different color variations. Hopefully this is somewhat helpful...again I am new at this.

Thanks,
Sczzy

Nice site. You could make better use of the white space though. Too space much is wasted at the top between the logo and when the actual products are displayed. Try compressing your page so that more if viewable to users when the page first loads

what was the idea of giving different look to the front page and to the inner pages? why would you want to make user click to enter your product page?

On the whole I like this site.

Suggestions:

There are a couple of things about this site which make it look a little too unprofessional for a shop. For example, the font used inline with the search bar and at a couple of other points in the site. Also I wouldn't reccomend using bright blue as a font color at all. The softer or more subtle colors are always better. Finally - the navigation looks sort of not as good as the rest of the page. I'd recommend removing the images and using CSS for those.

But I want to stress that there were more good points about your site than bad

nice looking cool

**jyoz22** · 03-16-2007, 11:28 PM

i agree w/ wdwp i don't know why u have an "enter store" page...
i would loose the page especially b/c of the horizontal scroll

**mfake_love** · 03-17-2007, 07:09 AM

The site looks great!
Really good job.
Only a couple of things I would change:
Remove the silly 'enter store' link. It looks like an amateurs first try at a link. Try replacing it with a nice button. And second.. the colours.. try to go for some more relaxing colours (e.g. a more bright green)

looks good

**lenworx** · 03-26-2007, 10:46 AM

Not enough content and too novice looking.

**topboy** · 03-26-2007, 12:04 PM

i liked the site very much, easy navigation and fast loading pages which are very important, i would give it 7/10

The reason being is because you could do so much better with SEO with the site
