Gil_e_n Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 First off, makes your splash page more clear as to what your options are. Festival? Shop? Another option that I don't remember thirty seconds later? I can figure out what the shop is, but the festival I don't know. And don't really care by the splash page. In the shop, add some text or pictures or something to your index page. I should not be at all vague about what you're selling by the second page. Category links are kind of non-obvious at the top of the header. I'd move them to the side. The hell's with the multiple exclamation marks in the beginning of the product name in the first page I'm browsing? Also, clicking on one of them reveals no actual description, so I still don't know what it is. If you can make currencies match languages, I'd set it so when the customer's browsing in English, it's in Euros rather than Kuna. I didn't even know what currency kuna was before going to your site, and having a currency your English-speaking customers would definitely recognize would help in gaining trust. The ad at the bottom of your header irritates me. And it makes it harder to notice the navigation. When I increase the text size, your header gets larger than the rest of the site. And your search box goes into your picture. In all honesty, I kind of like the look of it. I have absolutely no interest and no real understanding of what you're selling though, and that's a bad sign. Always BACK UP your files and your database before making any changes.

Chance Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Can I get a category tree or something? That tiny text at the top of your flash header does not work. My advice comes in two flavors- Pick the one that won't offend you.

Wendy James Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Gotta say I agree with whats been said above. The text all over is tiny and black background... ugh. The red on the black is, well not as bad as some choices I have seen but with those tiny fonts it is blinding me. Looks all blurry and ack! lol Layout is cool though, Nice to see people getting away from the basic stock layout. Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.

Thanx for suggestions, text and pictures will be very soon, cause site is still in working progress. And yes, this site is 90% for the croatian customers, so default currency is Kuna and language Croatian, for foreigners there is options to change it to Euro or English language. customers would definitely recognize would help in gaining trust. Thanx for rest of your critics, it may help us... if you don't understand what we are selling, try to choose yourself one good funny badge :-))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil_e_n Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I know what a festival is, I've just seen it mean many, many things in an online context. From a collection of blog posts, to everyone on a forum gathering in an IRC chatroom, to online contests, to particularly active days in online forums. If you're talking about an RL festival, it would be best to say that. If you're talking about some other type of online festival, you may wish to change the terminology. I stopped buying funny badges when I realized that I was blowing more money on them than my books. :) Always BACK UP your files and your database before making any changes.
