Hi Stefan, welcome to WebProWorld!

This is a well organised site that uses frames extensively (good to see you're making use of a noscript tag for those visitors unable to display frames). The site is attractively presented and the navigation system is consistent throughout.

When viewed in Mozilla Firebird, the following text is covered by the scrolling frame
Die neue Nalini-Kollektion ist ab Ende Februar 2004 hier erhältlich.
This suggests that IE was the target browser for the design, it may be worth checking how the site appears in a number of alternative browsers.

There is a lot of JavaScript on the site, I notice that you suggest that visitors need to enable JavaScript in order to use the shopping facility. I would store your JavaScripts in an external folder and reference them from each page, rather than have the code written out inline.

The colour scheme is very restricted, which is good... although you may consider adding at least one contrasting colour to highlight any special offers, etc. The product images are excellent, very clean and professional... but I did notice that many of your images do not have ALT tags.

On your order form you have a drop-down select which has 'DPD within Germany' as one of the options.. I had no idea what this was until I read the paragraph of text further down the page. Maybe this explanatory text should be next to the select box itself?

The search results need to be limited in some way... a search for "Nalini" returned 120 items in 38 categories, and this was displayed on a single page. Maybe you could have a limit to the maximum number of items returned OR use a paging function to break down the results into sizeable chunks.

Overall, I think you've got an excellent site, and if I was still doing as much cycling as I used to, I may have been tempted to order! Good job!! :o)

Just to say I really like your site a lot. paul wrote his review well too and I agree to all he had to say. You have a winner here.

As per your meta, you do need to rework them

You don't want the rest of it as they only use up your bandwidth.

The site looks okay. What I would suggest at this point the site requires user testing, not opinion on general looks.

For example, even for a post on a forum such as this, set up a dummy account. Lay out three to five typical site tasks ...preferably resulting in an order. This way, those checking a good looking site don't assume it works the same as it looks. This also gets into functional aspects of the design which may cause real users to abandon a shopping cart and so on. You might try to find a certain piece of clothing. Or assemble an entire outfit. Or try to return something.

Even if posters undertake even one task from the list, their comments can reveal genuine information.

The site is at that point where evaluations will have to dig a little deeper to find areas in need of improvement. The first choice is an onsite user test where you observe user behavior using basic principles of interaction design goodness. But even in a post to a forum, the casual glance can be encouraged to provide even more important information.

Hello,

This is a nice looking site.

I have only checked out the home page. The suggestion I have is to move the "language selection" icons down to the white area to make them a little more prominent. As a non-german speaker, I think it would be easy to assume that the site in only in German if the icons are not seen fairly quickly. Maybe you could make them larger.

The other thing is that you could make your site load more efficiently by making your graphics files smaller. For instance, the small graphic at top right is over 11k. You could try to reduce that with gif compression, or go to jpeg if that is the smallest you can get with gif. This is done with a graphics editor.

If you can stop the movement of the revolving images after maybe 10 or 20 seconds, I think that would be better.

hi,

thank you very much for your comments. i know the problem with mozilla-firebird browser, but i think it is a error in this browser. because the older version of the "normal" mozilla had the same problems, but viewed with the new version (i think mozilla 1.6) there is no problem and the tricots are in the middle of the screen. firebird brings the left side of the slide show to the middle of the screen, but the other browsers bring the middle of the slide show in the middle of the screen (so that it looks good). i tried to fix this problem but i found no solution yet.
i will read the other tips and realize your suggestions.

thanks for your help.

best regards

designer
