Mike Kranzler Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi robkwal, Two things I noticed: First of all, I like the green background on most of your site much better than the white background on your home page. And secondly, it appears that most of the images in your home page slider have broken links and don't show up. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kranzler Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Well personally, I strongly prefer the green background, especially since it helps your store stand out much more. Maybe you can experiment with other colors as well, but I'm not a very big fan of the white background when it comes to creating a new, unique storefront. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kranzler Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi robkwal, Something else I noticed is that I think a lot of your text is way too big. For example, in your slider, the text for Greengrocer's Fayre is actually partially covered by the biscuit because it takes up so much place. You also may want to minimize the font sizes at the bottom. If necessary, it's better to add a little more content than to just enlarge what you have already. And in the Back Office, you should probably go into Preferences > Performance and uncheck "Use CCC for CSS" to move the Add to Cart block up near the top of the page. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this box is already unchecked, so I will look into this problem what browser are you using?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're looking to hear from anyone else but me, but I just wanted to let you know that the text looks MUCH better. I'm still really not a fan of the white, and while the teal may be too much in the other direction, I think you should look into some other background for your page. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to hear from anyone, I see there's plenty of people asking for feedback, but not so quick to give it unfortunately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dask Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have to agree on the background - it makes the shop feel too.. serious and stale. And I don't hope that's what you want to advertise your product as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostrisq Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ok... I will give you my first thought when I look at it. It looks a bit to white to me. And that is not because of the white background, I like the clean look of it. I think you need a bit more images to bring your product to life. Now it is only big white spaces with typo. And your typo seems slightly out of order comparing to the logo's typo. But overal it is a very nice cleanlooking shop. Makes me feel like eating a cookie!

robkwal Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ok, so you would suggest I use the same font face for the logo at the headers!? Thats not a problem I will get onto that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyred Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Clean and simple however it took ages to load. Alex ranking not currently properly ranked at to be honest there is one very bad review on your site. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/mrswalton.co.uk# in noticed. Don't take it the wrong way just being helpfull. It is probably your hosting that is slow. Check with your hosting as alexa and ranking like google will penalise you for it. I hope i havent offended you. It is me simply being helpfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostrisq Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Good one! Just wanted to post that I like your headers better then the logo :-) Now I see you changed the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkwal Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Good one! Just wanted to post that I like your headers better then the logo :-) Now I see you changed the logo. Thanks, yeah just changed the logo, just in the process of creating a logo/icon to sit by it similar to that of the menu icons thought it might compliment that! Also added the featured ribbon on the home page, and in the process of taking more pics of the biscuits boxed to add alongside the current images!

silki Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi robkwal, i had a quick look at your webpage and it took me some time to find out what your webpage is about. Sure, you are selling Cookies - but for dogs... Maybe you can add a pic of a dog or soemthing like that. I also miss some colour. Try it with light colourrs maybe like a loghter yellow, green or even grey. I like the way how the cookie is added to the cart. Have nice day Silke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkwal Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks Silke! I have now added a Twitter/Facebook block to try and fill out the page more and make it look less empty as some of the feedback would suggest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostrisq Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 hahaha! It made ME feel like eating cookies! I am sure my dog would love them too ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyred Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 seems to be faster now on page load. Mayby you fixed it or hosting situation improved. I feel that it is more responsive too now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
