Thread: My website is ready for review

please review my website, at http://www.hipknotique.com

Why do the buttons have underscores ___ in them instead of spaces? ^.^

The pictures took awhile to load so the mens and womens fashions and a few open new windows. other than that center the home page a bit and it will be good to go.

Hi,

You should have a look with other browsers. I viewed with Firefox, and you have some issues to deal with there.

didnt know i could have use space, as i follow the tutorial and they did mention to use underscore

yes i know that, i was wondering why thou, unless is because it set to open in a new window,or is because i did upload some pictures using ftp manager, so maybe those picture is why am getting the new window first before the lightbox kick in. what you mean by center the home page a bit ?

Hi Jaysha

Great start with your site. In my ie browser the Text at the top overlaps with the text "original" and part of the text in the center of your index page is hidden by the pictures. You will need to move the text to the front.

Your product pages look good but where you have placed the links to pages 2 3 4 5 makes your page to wide. You should consider placing the 2 3 4 5 in the center bottom of the page and then you can set you width to 800 and center.

Otherwise you have done a lot of hard work and you should be proud of your site.

Hi Jaysha,

Is there a reason that after clicking on a menu button everything opens in a new window? ... Maybe you might consider changing your page properties from _blank to _top.

Cheers,

Hi,

The reason I brought up FF was when I view, the word "Originals" is mostly hidden behind an image, "It's a new look", is partially hidden, "the best in high fashion from the bottoms up" is partially behind "Originals", and I didn't go any further.

Hi, coming on well. The pages are loading slow because you using the light box & this produces thumbnails that are the same size in kb's as the larger expanded images. Only a personal opinion but the light box is for the 1 or 2 odd images & a space saver on a page & not really for a cart.

Good luck.

thanks for the good advice, but i do love the light box, when i uses the gallery am not seing the description of my products, i was trying to set it up using gallery but was having trouble getting the form on the larger image showing a drop down box with the colour sizes and description, if you have any idea how to then please let me know, thanks.

Hi, somtimes it can be a bit more flexible creating your own pop ups. Was having a play with your images at this link. LINK
There are some details on the page.
Only an idea?

Good luck.

very nice idea, i do like it, its very professional, but my question is, how do i start it? need to know, what shall i use to create the images? is there a tutorial i can follow? something like that am looking for, where when customer click to get the larger image, they can buy now or choose sizes and color, i don't mind doing things over, because i already get the hang of building webpages. thanks.

i know what you saying, but karen had a view with ie and was seing the problem, then when she use FF, the site was showing better,

Hi,

Site looks good!! go to your index page and modify your menu bars with _self then copies menu bars to your other pages. This will close down each page after viewing. Also check wording on your "about us" page example

at the age of 15 she designed and sewed clothes for her friends from her family home, where her mother and grandmother were also dress makers, her design were so admired and in demand that she held fashions shows, at Community Centers , Clubs, Parties and Planned Events to show off h

It should say her designs we so admired.

Keep going you're doing well.

Hi, if you want a background template like the one that’s lower down on the page page, let me know the size you want & I can make it up. As for the pay pal part, that would have to be a different question on a different forum. But my example was just an idea, & there is no reason to not have the pay pal on the page as you already have it & the popup just for a larger image & more info..

Thank you very much for such wonderful experience comment, someone already told me to use _top instead, but i feel _self is the correct target. will go and sort this out right now, thanks again lemmondr

You'll get there, I know it's kind of a hassle...but it will pay off in big dividends..make sure you save the publish also make sure you
put:


<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

on your HTML page if you have not done so already this will stop "caching"

shall i copy that code and place it in page html in start of page? or shall i just put the html box from the side menu and place it on the page and place the code in it?? and what is cache by the way?

Hi, not quite sure for the reason on having <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"> in your pages that will have quite a few images? This type of thing is for news sites & pages that are continually changing content every hour of the day. If you do use the code, make sure your pages are very fast loading as it will not make visitors very happy if the images have to keep reloading when going through your site.

Good luck.

Photoshop would help you out alot. upload your pictures as a png 24
