Thread: Please check out my e com site

Hi All,

I have always dreamed if building a web shop and i have finally got started,please let me know what you think, i know it's not perfect so please any constructive critism would be appreciated.

Regards, Manthy

Wow - for a first site it is very good! I like the fact it is plain and simple, not over busy. It looks professional.

The only thing I would say is that it is very wide - most people have smaller screens and will need to scroll to see it all. If they don't bother they will miss something. I would be inclined to try and make it narrower - 800 is the recommended width.

I like the colours, the pics loaded fast, and it does not look like a first attempt in any way!

Excellent!

Hi Manthy!

Great job.

A couple suggestions - you need to add titles to all your pages (that's what is seen in the blue bar on the top of the window) - those are very important for se's.

I also suggest you add more contact information to your contact page. I won't buy from anyone without a complete address listed. And while those forms are good to have, lots of people like to get the email adress and use their own program to email - so providing an email address is important. And, if at all possible add a phone number. The more credibility you can give, the better.

I'd also like to see more information on the products themselves. I like some of your handbags - but saying small or large is really relative. Give as much information as you can - and in a way that makes the product sound absolutely wonderful :).

I also didn't see any place to find out things like how people can pay, what credit cards you take, where you ship to and what shipping charges are? A page with all those facts would be good.

You've done a great job with Soho. Good luck with your store.

Trish, if you changed the resolution on your screen, that site will get less wide with no scrolling. I love those - and is the one thing I'll miss when I move a couple of my stores to BV. Soho has that capability of fluid designs.

Hi, It looks really good for the first time, I have some killer purse jewlery if you want me to e-mail you some pics.

It seems you did a good research before creating this site. You followed most of the e commerce site rules.

All the best!

Looks Great for a first timer! I agree with all that Beth said. Great pictures and layout! Fast load!

Wow, this is very professional, and ceratinly does not look like a first time site to me. I agree that the pictures are very good and it does seem to load fast.

What did you use to create the menus?

Hi again Manthy,
Your source code gives a clue as to the fast loading. Not a lot of blue voda there, or is it a new fast server. Your menus are "intelligent" in that they follow what picture you have chosen on the screen. Very neat.

Royden, he's using Soho, not BV.

Hi Beth,
Perhaps I should keep quiet until I have learned a bit more. What is soho?

It has always intrigued me as to how you find the time to comment on every new site. I think it's great. Some of the new ones, one doesn't really feel like commenting on. But this is an exception. Very professional.
Regards

Very Good
I hope mine will be as good

Soho is one of the other website builders that Voda offers.

I try to get to most of the new sites, but I'm sure I miss a few :) - I remember what it was like for me - and I still like as many eyes as possible to look mine over.

I agree, this site is very, very impressive.

Manthy,
Just a small criticism. The fonts for "Great Fashion Acces..." and for the horizontal menu at the bottom, are not in keeping with the main font.

I keep on coming back to your site to see the latest. It's great.

Regards
