Hi All

 

I was just wondering if anyone would like to give feedback on new

 

oscommerce store for watches etc

 

www.watchesrus.co.uk

 

 

thank you

Nice look

 

But to be honest it makes me dizzy. The header graphics rotate. The carosel spins, the right column graphic is constantly moving. It's all a bit much when you are trying to look at the site.

Nice design. Atleast its a move away from the stock oscommerce. I dont think i like the carousel gimmick though.. its not horrible, but i think it would be better if you had images that had transparent backgrounds OR you had a white background behind it.. they just look funny that way.

 

you have a LOT of movement.. i might get rid of the movement after the initial visit.. to make the logo move everytime you switch pages is a little redundant.

 

I'm not sure i like the dark colors.. I would think with a watch store, you would want a boutique look.. I cant say yours is not clean - it is pretty clean, but theres something that dosnt sit well.. i guess thats all matter of opinion though, and its your design..

 

add a favicon!!! i get so annoyed with sites without them.. it looks unfinshed to me when there is a blank page in the tab of my browser.

A great place for newbies to start

Hi

 

Thanks for quick replies.

 

I agree about the movement, and i am trying to convince the owner about the flash

But he keeps insisting it been there and then supplying more!!!, and i just want a little. Otherwise it becomes distracting

I will win in the end

 

And he didn't want a boutique look, but each to their own.

 

But also thanks as i have tried hard not to get that stock os look, even if it is pretty good program

 

Also can i say thanks to any people who's contributions provided on this site i may have used and or modified.

Thank you to the people on here for taking the time to post

I understand that.. I am doing a website for my husband. the FIRST TIME i have never done it for myself - and hes my HUSBAND.. i hate arguing what should and shouldnt be done with a site..

 

Maybe make him come here and read everyone's feedback after you get a few more. Might open his eyes to the fact that flash is and usually WILL be tacky if used more than once.

hi lindsay

There are two kinds of sites:

 

1. Sites people want to go to (World of Warcraft, etc where people seek out the info).

2. Sites you want people to go to (which requires SEO).

 

Flash definately belongs to the first group. Any sort of graphic is a black hole to search engines and therefore does nothing to improve page rank. Explain it that way to the customer and explain that page rank = $$$. That may get his attention.

 

As to the darker colors... I like them. It's definately distinctive.

 

Before I saw the site and had only read that it was a watch site, I half expected a closeup of a guys arm with the sleeve pulled back to show off 20 watches all on one wrist. Kind of a spoof on the back alley black market watch sales from the movies. Or maybe a guy in a trenchcoat who whips it open to show you watches dangling from the inside of the coat. :)

I also thought Canal Street in NYC when i saw the site.. Same type of deal.
