    Re: Please check out my e com site

    Wow - for a first site it is very good! I like the fact it is plain and simple, not over busy. It looks professional.

    The only thing I would say is that it is very wide - most people have smaller screens and will need to scroll to see it all. If they don't bother they will miss something. I would be inclined to try and make it narrower - 800 is the recommended width.

    I like the colours, the pics loaded fast, and it does not look like a first attempt in any way!

    Excellent!

      Hi Manthy!

      Great job.

      A couple suggestions - you need to add titles to all your pages (that's what is seen in the blue bar on the top of the window) - those are very important for se's.

      I also suggest you add more contact information to your contact page. I won't buy from anyone without a complete address listed. And while those forms are good to have, lots of people like to get the email adress and use their own program to email - so providing an email address is important. And, if at all possible add a phone number. The more credibility you can give, the better.

      I'd also like to see more information on the products themselves. I like some of your handbags - but saying small or large is really relative. Give as much information as you can - and in a way that makes the product sound absolutely wonderful :).

      I also didn't see any place to find out things like how people can pay, what credit cards you take, where you ship to and what shipping charges are? A page with all those facts would be good.

      You've done a great job with Soho. Good luck with your store.

        Trish, if you changed the resolution on your screen, that site will get less wide with no scrolling. I love those - and is the one thing I'll miss when I move a couple of my stores to BV. Soho has that capability of fluid designs.

            It seems you did a good research before creating this site. You followed most of the e commerce site rules.

            All the best!

                Wow, this is very professional, and ceratinly does not look like a first time site to me. I agree that the pictures are very good and it does seem to load fast.

                What did you use to create the menus?

                  Hi again Manthy,
                  Your source code gives a clue as to the fast loading. Not a lot of blue voda there, or is it a new fast server. Your menus are "intelligent" in that they follow what picture you have chosen on the screen. Very neat.

                      Hi Beth,
                      Perhaps I should keep quiet until I have learned a bit more. What is soho?

                      It has always intrigued me as to how you find the time to comment on every new site. I think it's great. Some of the new ones, one doesn't really feel like commenting on. But this is an exception. Very professional.

                          Soho is one of the other website builders that Voda offers.

                          I try to get to most of the new sites, but I'm sure I miss a few :) - I remember what it was like for me - and I still like as many eyes as possible to look mine over.

                          I agree, this site is very, very impressive.

                            Manthy,
                            Just a small criticism. The fonts for "Great Fashion Acces..." and for the horizontal menu at the bottom, are not in keeping with the main font.

                            I keep on coming back to your site to see the latest. It's great.
