Load – Server load time at 4pm is slow; I would hate to test the site during prime time.
Home -N- Linens Site Review – Needs A LIttle Tweaking
The home page looks well laid out and clear, the only thing I would pick up on is that the *sale* is on the right hand side and not differentiated from the other links. Perhaps move it more centrally and make it in red.
Home -N- Linens Site Review – Branding Confusion
Home-n-Linens is a very nice example of a database-driven web application. The designers have also loaded it with a lot of “extras” which should add value to the site, and give prospective buyers a reason to return. The dual photos of the tablecloths (larger view and full view) were thoughtfully provided and nicely executed.
Home -N- Linens Site Review – A Good Beginning
First thing noticed about your site was a large area of “white space” to the right of the home page.
Sandi’s Ts Site Review – Busy Pages!
What busy pages!!! SandiT’s site (once I got past the first screen view) had loads to see on it. I also love T’s so “I’ll be back”… The biggest thing I saw about the site is that it is unclear whether it is a commercial or personal site. I couldn’t decide if the point was to buy something or vote for the site. I recommend that those personal site attributes be put on a linked site.
Sandi’s Ts Site Review
Sandi’s site (http://www.sandists.com) is in trouble. Originally designed by a friend who unfortunately passed away soon afterward, Sandi’s site has neglected to bring in more than a handful of sales over the course of a few years. What can she do to improve her site? I asked you, the DevWebPro readers, and these are the ideas you offered.
Sandi’s Ts Site Review – Let’s Go Shopping!
Sandi : What’s in your store window today? Thinking through, a bit of research, and common sense will go a long way toward helping you sell more T’s. So, let’s go shopping.
Sandi’s Ts Site Review – Use Real Estate Wisely
A user’s first impression of a webpage is based on what’s visible in the first screen, which sounds self-evident but it’s amazing how often a designer overlooks the first screen. While the designer knows what else is waiting to be scrolled to, if what I see on that first screen isn’t inspiring, I’ll click “Back” rather than bother scrolling down. If I were looking to buy handcrafted items, I would want to see some samples of those items on the first screen. Sandi’s T’s site, while offering a very unique product, does not maximize the screen real estate on any of the site’s pages.
Sandi’s Ts Site Review – Better Product Photos
Sandi,
I have three suggestions that may encourage more sales activity on your Web site.
Sandi’s Ts Site Review – Make it Easier to Order
Well where to start really, I’m afraid to say it but the home page looks very much like someone on Geocities who has just finished their first home page. It’s undesigned, has too many gizmos at the bottom, no graphical impact, no proper navigation. This leaves me very confused – is this a hobby or a business?
