Since I last posted this site for review, I have changed it a little. The biggest change is the product page.

Default Your site

I really liked the uncluttered design, the use of color, and the wording. Some very small things to possibly address are:

1. On your products page, for the Tula scarf, when mousing over the different colored scarves, you can't really see the change in the bottom picture because it is mostly off the bottom of the screen.

2. On register.htm, the first word is misspelled - 'Plese'

3. Your privacy policy is somewhat sparce. It leaves out email address, phone number, etc. Some people might be concerned about that.

These are extremely small things. I think the site is well done. You've just got to design some more of those scarves! Good job

Default standardize the pages

Please choose one design for the layout of your page and stay with it throughout for uniformity.

Right now your navigation is so large that it actually takes away from the rest of the site. You also need some good copy as teh text is so liited. Search engines are text hungry beasts.

Framed sites are just not search engine friendly.

You need to title your pages. Very important.

You need metatags badly.

Your scarves are very very beautiful and you need to have a site to compliment them. You could have a winner.

<META NAME="author" CONTENT="Colin Hobby">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL">
<META NAME="abstract" CONTENT="Beautiful handprinted 100% fine Indian Silk. These scarves are as beautiful to look at as they are to wear.">

Hey there,
Good to see you are really working on the details of your website. I wish ya much success in all you do.

Strip down the Metatag to what is really important. Please remove all in red. You really don't want to put your email coz of email harvesting and spam.

Hi.

Nice site. I like the subdued colors.
You have aleady heard some of the stuff I would have mentioned.
I real emphasize he frames point...many drawbacks there.
I personally don't like to scroll sideways. If you express your table size in percentage rathr than absolute values, it should better accomodate different monitor screen size and resolutions.
I viewed source to confirm my suspicion that table properties were absolute set width and was met by a no right click script. IMHO this is not only pointless as it is easily defeated, it raises a trust issue. I don't trust anybody that doesn't trust me.
Overall - nice job. Best of success.

I tried changing table properties like you suggested bruwmac, but really don't see it making that big a difference. Could you tell me what resolution you are looking at.

You need to work on your logo and I agree with ejrsdotcom on the meta tags.

Default OOPS!

Hi Colin,

Sorry I never responded to your resolution question.
I must have notification turned off. I came across this searching for another post.

600 x 800 (or is it 800 x 600)

Hey, I went to look at your site again. Your index is showing...not your site.

Oops.
