Well, I must say I think your site is adorable! I didn't have time to go through it in a lot of detail and I'm sure others will be along soon. One thing I looked for (as a maker of bath and body items) is that your skincare products don't have ingredients listed (unless I missed them). People are very conscious these days about 'what's in it' so it might be something you want to add.

Good job though...lovely!

OH, congratulations... a really great site... LOVE THE SIMPLICITY and clarity, very clean, informative and educational. Fantastic work with the info on cotton. There are a few spelling errors and the photo's are covering the menus that pop out... a few minor details I'm sure will get picked up as you spend more time on it.

like your site - very easy to navigate - all links seem to work fine. you might want to put up a little video on the about us page. most everyone today are not readers, but love to watch videos. it is not expensive and very popular. easy to do with BV.
good luck

I think your site looks great. I haven't looked at all the techy side but for an end user visiting, it is very impressive. I hope you get plenty of business from it.

Well done & good luck

Easy to do :)

Of the various adjectives used before me "adorable' (by Butter I believe) suits your site the best.

IMO You have managed an appealing and unique approach to your site that still conveys professionalism, instills confidence, and functions very well. Its inherent 'softness' and 'cuddliness' serve to impart the 'feel' of your product in a way that words could not.

But as for words in some ways there are too many, in another - not enough.... If you want to get visitors to your little gem you have some work to do.

Way too many keywords (the idea is not to put in every thing you can think of but to target specific words or in today's competitve market - phrases), description is way too long, and titles could be better. Your errors with keywords and description can actually hurt you if they are not adjusted to the 'rules'.

And I think you have to find a way to get more text on your index page somehow for the search engines to take note of you. The first thing they look at after your title and page description is text that reinforces what you say you're about. It's called page relevancy and without it you'll find yourself very low in the listings.

Find any of Beter's posts and get a free copy of her SEO - The Basics and please, put it to heart...

All in all a wonderful effort and one that, with a little more work, I'm sure will be very successful.

Best of luck!

Hi Adele,

Yes, it's the right idea. I know you want to keep the page as clean as you can but some text is necessary. It's up to you how much you think is best. You'll have a better idea after reading Beth's 'book', but it is necessary to reinforce your title and description. Also you should never use a keyword or keyword phrase that is not on the page.

Keep at it, you'll do fine.

Hi, nice looking site, couple of small things that may need adjustment. There is quite a bit of overlap with text when viewing with fire fox. Especially on the longer pages.
The header image is a bit slow loading for the 1st time visitor at over 500kb, attachment might help at 23kb.

Good luck.

I just took a brief look at it and I think it is gorgeous.

Well Done!

thank you emmy
thats really nice of you to say!!!

First appearance: Very nice looking site, well laid out and presented and some very unique and interesting products. I could see a mother-to-be or new mum saving this to her favourites and shopping here regularly.

On a down side: You need to seriously redo all your meta data.

Far far too many keywords on every page. Please remember the golden rules, use four or five keywords or phrases and ensure that those keywords or phrases relate to and are also listed in text on the page you are keywording.

Change ALL your page titles to suit the product that is related to on each page. In other words, on the nappy page, make sure the page title reads:

Baby Nappies | Organic Nappies

Or similar..

Each page must have it's own unique page title and page description, do not use a generic one for all pages, this will harm your site for sure.

If you correct these errors to start with you are well on your way to a very successful website and business

One other issue I felt a tad niggling... I had to make at least 4 or 5 clicks from the home page on some products to actually see the final product page which included description, price and buy it now buttons. You might want to address this issue, it's up to you but a lot of people may not click into the site that far.

Keep up the good work though, I think you have created a beautiful website.

Thank you so much for for your time you spent looking at my site! :)

thats a really big help.
i think i understand what i have to do with page names and mata tags and so.

ie
i name my page what my product is? :)
i pick out most important bits from my page for my meta tags?
and i copy and paste a bit of what my product is about into my page description?

is that all i have to do...lol gosh..i have got abot 500 or so pages to do..better get on with it then!!!! :)

is this called site optimization????
if not what does ut mean.

Thank you so much for your help!

I wanted to say your site is very nice and pleasant on the eyes and categorized. Your site is welcoming and inviting to view more for what you have to offer. One thing I did notice, correct me if I am wrong, I believe category is spelled wrong. Overall your site is well organized and the colors used are well presented. Good luck!

Hi..
You have a really nice website, the only thing I noticed, is that your menu's open up behind the picture in the center of the page.. for example, go to the kimono body suit pages, and click on the first side menu.. I think it was babies or bodies..can't remember now, but if you go down the line they all do.. To fix this, right click on the center image and chose move to back

Cheers
