Wow... great looking site! I really like the colours - it suits the sweet tasting idea. It makes a very good first impression.

I don't know if you are still working on some pages and links, but the "Delivery information" and "Help" pages are missing links.

From my side, I don't have any objections, only praises. Good luck!

Your site looks good. It is easy to navigate and it is very clear that you designed it to get good search engine positioning.

A couple of comments...

1) The font is rather small. If you think that you may get visitors in the over 40 crowd (bifocals), you may want to make it a little larger.

2) You may get complaints (and bad press) for your Naught Sweets page. You might consider inserting a tastefully worded adults-only warning.

You should be pleased with this site. You have done a good job.

I would run a header across the top of the page with a really great looking logo and some candy looking colors in it.

I would shorten the home page to say how great you candy is with the best looking picture you have on the home page.

I would change the buttons on the left hand side a little to give the site a better look.

Your text is to small.

I would move paypal and all the credit cards to the bottom of the page.

But the site looks good for the most part. Just really a lot of neat things you can do with this type of site.

You have 5 seconds to grab your customer

Thanks for your comments guys, I will look into making the font size bigger and moving the card logos on the next update.

Best wishes,

Default Good job, mate

Mark,

Well done.

Yes, some of your fonts are small, but they do scale up (and down); anyone with a scroll-wheel mouse can resize your text (Ctr + move wheel).

If anything, I'd try and make the site (somehow) more colorful.

I'm thinking of this candy store here in NYC, on the corner of Third Avenue and 60th or so (kitty-corner to Bloomingdales if you're ever in the neighborhood). A wild riot of pinks and oranges and magentas and turquoise/aqua. You know exactly where you are and what they do there the second you walk in the door...

Your site has much the same feel.

Well done.

Now go out there and a make a billion or two and don't forget who your friends are.

Wanna review my site?
