The e-commerce.

Please review my site

Hey everyone, please take a look at my first store I just launched last week.

 

www DOT hollywoodbreastforms DOT com

 

There's a few things I still want to tweak, but it's probably 90% there now. I'd like to group my product listing by sub-category instead of alphabetically, but I'm still having trouble figuring out the php for that.

 

Cheers,

Alex

Hi, I noticed a few things:

 

You should add meta data to all product pages, try this add on: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5851.

 

Your account pages aren't SSL protected.

 

Where do I go to create an account? right now I have to buy in order to create one.

 

You should make your payment methods clear either in FAQ or in an extra information page.

 

I cannot find a way of contacting you other than through the email in the footer and a number in FAQ, in my opinion you should add a contact us page with a name, adress and phone number.

 

Your site fits your products, I quite like the layout although I would probably re think the purple banner, but it's just my opinion. Your products are clearly described and your photos are good but some image pop ups are very big, I would resize some of them.

Hi, I noticed a few things:

Thank you so much for reviewing our site.

Will do.

 

Your account pages aren't SSL protected.

We don't have account pages. See the next point.

 

Where do I go to create an account? right now I have to buy in order to create one.

Because some of our clientele is sensitive about their information (ordering cross-dressing products secretly), we are not asking our consumers to create accounts unless they purchase something. We used No Account to make a "fast checkout". Do you think creating an account is something some consumers want to do? We will definitely consider putting the option back in if you think that's a turn-off.

 

You should make your payment methods clear either in FAQ or in an extra information page.

Great idea. Will do.

 

I cannot find a way of contacting you other than through the email in the footer and a number in FAQ, in my opinion you should add a contact us page with a name, adress and phone number.

Email is our only contact. We do not have a phone number or address for the store.

We are planning to add pictures to the purple banner like herlook.com. We made the pop-ups really big on purpose so people could see the detail. (It's a pet-peave of mine when I click to enlarge and it doesn't get very big.)

 

You pointed out a lot of things that we considered while we were making the site, and we defended our choices to each other, so I guess I feel compelled to defend our choices to you also. =) I really appreciate your feedback.

 

Cheers,

Alex

When I put an item in the cart and head for checkout, I am taken to create_account.php where I'm supposed to enter my name and address, that one should be SSL'd in my opinion.

Some people will argue that it's a turn off, others won't, personally I like having the possibility of creating an account at a store for a later potential purchase.

 

Email is our only contact. We do not have a phone number or address for the store.

 

Some people will not trust a store if they can't have a way of contacting a sales person other than through email. Emails can be ignored, get lost in spam boxes or whatever, if I have a problem with an order I want to speak to the person directly.

 

We made the pop-ups really big on purpose so people could see the detail. (It's a pet-peave of mine when I click to enlarge and it doesn't get very big.)

 

What I meant is they should all be the same size, some are very large, others not.

 

I feel compelled to defend our choices to you also.

 

There's no need to defend your choices to me, it's your site, ultimately it's your decision, I was just voicing my opinion. :)
