Hi. It's a very pretty site.
It looks fine. All your links worked properly, all pages loaded quickly and it is easy to navigate. Well done!

Very Nice Site, well done! All pages and links worked just fine. The only question I have is why the 2 drop down boxes for the scents? Why not just one. Just curious. I love the font in your buttons, but they seem a little tight to me and difficult to read. Other than those two little things, you've done a great job! Good Luck!

Your colours are very easy on the eye and its comfortable to look at the pages. Your menu overlaps your title on the home page and the menu buttons are placed in different positions on each page, they can be put right quite easily though. I agree with Floorlady about the menu buttons as well, the font needs to be a little smaller to fit.

I just noticed on the Warmers page, As these arre hand carved
the 'are' has an extra r in it.

On my post above I am referring to the Tarts page with regard to the scent boxes.

Very pretty background, hope you do well.

Thank You, Thank you, Thank you everyone!!!

Hi
very Nice site and easy to navigate and agree with all comments from the othe commentators. I would like to suggest though that you may want to place an icon for your scents on the main page also, so that visitors can check this out as easily as they check out the rest of your site. I think it would make things easier. Just a thought. Other than that..great job.

I have to agree with 'floor lady' on the two scent choices. I ended up with choices showing in both boxes.

I don't know the answer to this but is it possible to put a frame around your product photos? In s****booking we call this a mat and use it to 'pop' the photos off the page. In an album they look so much better that way. If I was s****booking you site I might mat your photos with the same purple and may be an additional color to corrdinate with the beautiful background.

I used paypal as my shopping cart because i was a little intimadated by os commerce. Anyway paypal only allows you to have 10 choices per drop down box and i have more than ten scents. Any suggestions on what to do?

Good site; all bases have been covered by others but I have to offer a small compliment on your efforts. I'm not always this nice, but it IS a lovely day here.

Looks nice. Good job!

How about putting it as a product again with the other choices?

maemae: I went into the bath salts and pretended to order a couple of scents. When I viewed my cart, it said I was ordering tarts and not the salt packets, so you may want to review your paypal set up. A thought about the scents, can you have a freeform text box that you fill in the scent with paypal? Sorry, I'm not that familiar with Paypals cart options.

Thank you so much!!!!

hmmmmm, shopping cart. lol. I had same problem. That's why I chose vodahost. For the soho program. It allowed me to put my paypal cart with choices and for customer to prefill out information on colors and choices. I love it. I'm able to write a script fill before you purchase, something I been looking for. And the ease of it is wonderful. BTW, nice site. Colors are nice, loads fast on my end. To bad we can't have a scratch and sniff website,lol, I love scented soaps. www.toysandbooks.com

well organised and beautiful site, (like the buterfly animation)
the graphics loads fast, well done!

I like what you did, the colors - backgrounds - layouts....
(And I am a firm believer that our sites naturally get better over time. We can't leave them alone!)

Good Luck!
