Default What do you think?

Hi,
I was wondering if you all could let me know what you think of my web sites. I just changed the index page at:
http://www.shersleatheremporium.com/
It used to be this as the start page:
http://www.shersleatheremporium.com/aboutus.html
But, I just changed it cause I thought it was too much about me & my family. Now it is more about the products I make. I was also wondering how to generate more visitors with no money. Let me know what you think, please.
Thanks, Sher

To be perfectly blunt with you, Sher - No. I wouldn't even consider buying anything from your website.

I apologize in advance for the truly blunt nature of this post, but I think you need someone to be totally honest with you. Especially if you're serious about wanting to sell your leather products online. Well, here goes!

While the products you're selling look nice, the site itself is very amateurish. Those graphics are very cute, but don't give your site any credibility at all. There's too much going on, but not enough information being provided in a way I can find out anything quickly and easily. I had to scroll down through all kinds of advertising before I even found out where you were located. It doesn't inspire much confidence from the average visitor. It looks like you're trying to hide the information.

Also, you really should move your links to the top of the pages. Again, I don't feel like I can go where I want/need to go on your site. I feel out of control - like you've taken all my options away from me.

As for the index page, I think you should probably create a new index page that describes what you sell. Maybe tell something about the leather and other materials you use,

Finally, I'd remove all the personal stuff from the site. If this is a business site, treat it as such. You should consider getting rid of the song download (unless it's a business jingle), your family info unless it directly relates to the business, the link to your pets, etc.

Most especially, you need to remove the Happy Holidays graphic. It's July, not December. Nothing will drive your customers away more than the impression that you don't care enough about your own website to keep it up to date.

You've got some nice products, Sher. You need a quality website to show them off and to encourage folks to buy from you.

Again, my apologies for being so direct in my criticisms. I hope this post helps you with redesigning your website and increasing your sales!

Syren
