This is a recent site that has just become public.
Comments are truly appreciated.

The intention is to be a bit different than most Baby Gift Sites.
The main concern I have at this time is that navigation is smooth and very very simple.

Hi 2pooches,

I like the navigation, however, as far as buying from the site, I personally wouldn't. First of all let me state that I'm a designer. The things that I always notice on a site are logos, pics, and layout. If these things are in peak condition then I can have more confidence in that company. I look for store and commercial quality imagery. With that said, this is what I noticed.

The baby occasion logo on your site is fuzzy looking, meaning that it is not crisp. And also, the baby at the top and the teddy's under the logo are blurry looking. This may be small to some, but as I said, I look for store/commercial quality. The images on sale look fine, but the main image doesn't work.

Again, I'm a designer, so it could just be me, but I would at least take it into consideration. Hopefully that helps.

Lafe

So I guess the soft look isn't working...

I will certainly review your thoughts and see what I can come up with.
I think I lost some clarity when optimizing the logo image. I can fix that.

Thank you again

No problem.

I redid the logo and it looks much better. I fully agree with your point of confidence for buyers.
Thanks again.
