Hate the category menu which seems to disappear and reappear at will.

Help page cannot be found

How do I contact you? Address?

Remove (or change) "Let's see what we have here" stock text

 

Note: We are currently do not process orders online. Please call (780) 487-7658 to place an order. Thank You.

 

"We are"? Typo

 

Do you intend to sell online ever, or is this just a promtional site for a store?

 

Nice product images, ruined in the shopping cart with the white background on the blue background of the cart.

 

Change "Shopping Bag" to "Shopping Cart" in the header links. Why go against the industry standard of "Cart"??

Perhaps I overstated the menu problem - but it disappears for a second or two on every page click, then comes back. I assume it's DHTML or something and is only being rendered when the page has finished downloading. Just looks bad.

 

As far as changing text - You need to use your imagination - it's your store!

Okay, a few comments...

 

1. The layout is good, but there's something about the red in the logo that puts me off -- it seems to clash with the pale cyan in the background and the other blues used on the site. Or maybe it's the glow behind it... or a combination of the two.

 

2. Nice, crisp product images, at optimized sizes. Hurray! My dialup connection thanks you! :)

 

3. Broken link to your HELP file, which links to:

http://www.fsgirls.ca/catalog/FILENAME_HELP

 

I presume your 'contact us' information is stored on that page? How about information about FS Girls? Is it there too?

 

4. In your Returns section, a typo: Departement should be Department. Also, you talk about a restocking fee on 'some' items. What items might those be? Personally, I'd want to know before I bought.

 

5. On your shipping page, hisitate should be hesitate. (Shipping price seems high, too, at $5 per item. I can't imagine it would cost $25 to mail 5 shirts... don't know about your customers, but mine are frugal enough that they would balk.)

 

HTH,

Nice Store.

 

Just for thoughts, you might want to remove brands that you will not use in the very near future.

 

When I click on brands like American Apparel, Emerica, Independent, and others, I get a notice that there are no products available.

 

I find it quite easy to add and remove categories at will, so when I run out of a product and don't plan to restock it in a week or so, I simply remove it and add it back when I am ready.

thanks for the comments...i will be removing the brands that are empty, but still adding products (only added about 100 so far of about 500 products)....the pictures take a while to edit and then also descriptions, but once i do actually go live ill be sure to remove empty brands

 

Theres three to five mm gap on the top of the page. Everything else looks mighty fine to me.

ok moved it upa lil more..is that better?

 

 

thanks for all the comments...quick question..what does everyone think about the jukebox? is it distracting? or a good idea?

It all works very well, but where is the excitement? That X-Factor is sorely missing - can't you show people whizzing down mountains or something?

 

The footer looks poor in comparision with the rest of the site. Looks like you ran out of steam. Put a funky graphic on there or something.

By the way, I do like the layout of your product page very much.
