Please comment on my store

[Guest]

Hi

I would really appreciate any comments on my store. I still have to create a mainpage but I am leaving that until the last moment as the content will depend on the date I release the store. I also have to finish the product desciptions. Apart from that I hope to be ready soon.

I would really appreciate any feedback, as this is my first website I have ever created.

It is a bit late, but real quick:

 

It is still quite stock, and the entire feel of the site does not represent what you are trying to sell and bestow upon your visitors (quality hand crafted merchandise from France's wilderness).

 

Be careful now, I believe mathology trademarked by Crabtree & Evelyn. I would check further into it (http://www.crabtree-evelyn.com.my/index.html) to ensure I was not infringing upon their rights. Especially since you are selling the same products they are, it would be a major infringement. Aromatherapy is a true word and thus not copyrighted by anyone. :)

 

I like your tabs up top with the downward half suns. However, the rest of the site down is too boxy and does not scream spa, nature, etc.

 

Include a Conditions of Use with your other Information articles. This will allow you to present what is and is not allowed on your site.

 

Flaunt yourself! On your about us page provide images of this wonderful land you speak of and have the blessings to work and live upon. If possible, include an image of yourself too, as it helps personalize the message to each customer.

 

Technically, the store is in pretty good operations. Design-wise, I think you could do alot to improve it. Not to worry, I am constantly changing, "updating" and "improving" mine. I'd say pretty darn good for the first time! :)

 

Best of luck to you!

Fist thing you need to do is to get a domain name. No-one is going to bother remembering 82.112.102.87 for a web address. Don't forget that you'll have to edit the 2 configure.php files to use your new domain name.

 

Good job so far with the design. A little more contrast in colours would be nice, for example, the most important button "Add to Cart" blends very well into the background. A little too well. This will not arouse anyone's purchasing interests.

 

Good luck with you business. :)

Thanks for the advice. I have changed the boxes, and would love to know if they are better. I have a domain name and it is linked to another site at the moment, that is why I am using the IP address until the site is ready to go live.

Many thanks for the input

It's ugly, annoying, disturbing, but fairly fast
