No comments? good or bad?!

Hi Vicki,

I think you have done a very good job. Nice clean site with appealing colours for the target audience.

Can I suggest you consider the following
1) Main menu block appears on front page but then disappears on category and product pages. I would have it on all pages because it contains links to important pages such as your delivery charges and t&c's etc
2) No right hand column on category & product pages. Perhaps add the top sellers block to balance the page out?
3) I found it very difficult to find your contact details. There is no address details and the telephone number appears on terms & conditions page which is not the obvious place to look. Consider adding your address to at least the contact page and include your telephone number in the header so its clearly visible.
4) Don't like mobile telephone numbers. Consider purchasing perhaps an 0800 number which you can get diverted to your mobile. We have used these in the past http://www.planet-numbers.co.uk/

Good luck at Winter Wonderland

Very nice site Funky Fairy!! Lovely colours, clean and uncluttered.

I would also agree with Dave that your telephone number should be prominent and that it would be good to balance the site out with a block or two on the right hand side.

Additionaly the news headlines perhaps should be at the top of the page rather than at the bottom?

Well done, hope the sales come rushing in for you!

As Dave said you have a lot of dead white space on your item page so definitely use the right hand column for something.

You about us page should ideally have at least an email address or a contact form/link to contact page. I'm a very fussy buyer and if I cant quickly find a postal address and/or company details I don't buy as I think that information should be most prominent, to prove who you are and that you're safe to buy from.

Are you set up as a limited company or partnership/sole trader?

The right click "our images are protected" code doesn't work with firefox, Mikey is working on a fix for this at the moment, for more details see http://www.bluepark.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=605

(http://www.bluepark.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=605)In Secure Payments block, maybe have an image of the thawte logo as well as the PayPal and card images.

Other than that, nice site, I like the pastel colours, did you change the background from blue to pink? I'm sure it was blue before! It's much better in pink if you did change it :-)

Hi everyone

Many thanks for your input, I knew it would need tweaking in areas. I will get onto it shortly.

Thanks for your kinds words too, Winter Wonderland is proving slowly but surely to be a winner although hard work - but then again what isn't :)
