Hello,

The main critique I have is that the Flash intro is way too long - a lot of people would click away from the site within the first 10 seconds because they have to wait through that. I would suggest removing it all together honestly. The site layout itself is fine, although the product images on the category page could stand to be larger.

Hope that helps!

I have the same critique - the Flash is long and there isn't a "Skip Intro" button which can take the customer straigh to the website. But other than that I like your website. Is this a custom made website?

Yes thank you that does help. I have actually made a mental note to add a "skip intro" and to expand the product images as well. Thanks alot for your feed back

May I ask how much you paid for the website? I also need an online store. You can e-mail me at nitogirl@hotmail.com if you don't like to disclose the price here.

Thanks and good luck with your business

Hello,

I do agree that the Flash intro is a bit lengthy. However beside shorting it I would recommend adding a "Skip Intro" option.

As for the site itself, its nicely laid out. I did notice when you "Click to Enlarge" keeps clocking...it doesnt load its running over one minute now...

Also you might want to consider using a CSS sprite for the Nav, its alot faster at load time. The site failed HTML and CSS validation as well.

Like many other comments above. The flash is useless actually.

If your goal is to have people buying your goods, you need to take them straight to the points. If people like your products, they are careless about your awesome graphic or flash.

Give them some straight image links below your flash movie, which take them directly to some top selling products. You want people to shop.

Good luck!

I agree about the flash....Also the website does not have any meta tags? Hyperlinks are not captioned?

I know this is probably a guy thing, but I don't like the images. I love the picture of the model upper right, but the others could make her look better...Especially the one with the belly button being pulled by the tightness of the clothes.

Thanks for your feedback...

Update: the flash intro now has a "skip intro" option for those who feel it is too lengthy and would much rather get straight to the point

I'm glad you expressed your opinion of the models used to represent the clothing. For future pieces I will definitely use models with more experience for a more professional outlook.

Thanks again

Hey I am not saying the model is not attractive, I actually applaud using real people. I am saying the way she is presented could be better. I always tell my clients if you don't have a professional taking pictures, take lots and lots of them and find the accidental excellent images.

Some are pretty good and it is real.
