Hi there.

 

Overall - your site LOOKS fantastic - great colors, etc.

 

1 - I'm on dial-up and your main page loads sooooooooo slowly.

 

2 - the top of the browser window - your main page says "HOME" - I would name this something different such as your store's name plus a few keywords - hair care, shampoo, etc.

 

3 - This product's page (Schwarzkopf Osis Thrill Fibre Gum 3.4 oz.), at the very bottom, there is code showing.

 

4 - some of your images load slowly, some don't.

 

5 - I don't see any mention/logo for SSL on main page or site or main page of store.

 

Otherwise, nice job!

Barbara, thank you so much for the great suggestions.

1 - I'm on dial-up and your main page loads sooooooooo slowly.

I'm trying to figure out how to fix this issue. I'm assuming it's the flash that is slow, so I have to try and find a way to redirect to the non-flash version for dial up users (any ideas how to do this?)

 

2 - the top of the browser window - your main page says "HOME" - I would name this something different such as your store's name plus a few keywords - hair care, shampoo, etc.

Done! Thanks for catching this.

 

3 - This product's page (Schwarzkopf Osis Thrill Fibre Gum 3.4 oz.), at the very bottom, there is code showing.

I was not able to replicate this problem. Is anyone else seeing the code?

 

4 - some of your images load slowly, some don't.

Tried the Image Magic contribution by tomjmul. Hopefully that will help.

 

5 - I don't see any mention/logo for SSL on main page or site or main page of store.

Done. Thanks!

 

Thanks again for your great suggestions, and if you happen to think of anymore I'd love to hear them.

That bit of code may have just been a hiccup, cause it's not there now. *shrugs*

 

No problems now! Great job!

I'd add a search box. It's one of those things that's just handy on occasion. Your buttons don't really quite match your layout, especially the buy now button. And the checkout buttons are a little lighter than your layout. Overall, though, I really like the site.

*Whew* I'm glad it was just a hiccup, because it's one last thing of the many things to fix :) Thanks again for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback Gil_e_n. I wasn't happy with the buttons either, so I've copied over a new set (thanks to the creator of them). I'm still not completely happy with the color, which I'll probably change when I have some free time (haha). For not I "think" the new buttons are an improvement (if you get a chance please let me know fi you agree). Search box is a great idea which will be added to my ever growing list of to do's.

 

Thanks again!!
