I'm looking for some feedback on my site. I know that it is simplistic and I was going for that so as to not take away from what I am selling.
If there are any glitches or things that you think would improve my site, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks in advance!  www.symplepleasuresonline.com |

nice site, but isn't it supposed to be simple and not symple.
Anyway it could use a few more changes such as the current skin you are using. and I just want to know how much did you buy the script for? |

A couple of small things.
1). The Products page doesn't display all the Categories 'above the fold', partly because of the extra spacing from the < p > and <br /> tags that are within the paragraphs. If you converted that list of categories to a list using < li >'s, for instance, the list of categories would be visible when they first arrive at the page and it would be easier for customers to click-on. Because they wouldn't have to scroll down to even see the list, it might promote some spontaeous browsing, hence purchasing, on the customer's part if the links are 'above the fold' and readily available. Also might be good to put a clickable picture as a link here. Right now, there is nothing to indicate that they are 'links'. Usually links are a different colour or underlined or bolded or bordered to show that clicking them will take you to another page. CODE <p class="catname"><strong><a href='products.asp?cat=8'>Bracelets</a></strong><br> </p> 2). The FAQ page. The list of FAQ's arre sitting there in a list, but they aren't 'linked'. It would be easier for the customers to use this page if they were linked to the answers. Design-wise, Nice Site. I prefer 'simpler' designs. Often sites are too busy and too packed full of stuff. You have done a nice job here. I am not in the market for any jewellery, though. Good Luck with the site. Just guessing, but was the domain name 'Simple Pleasures' already taken? Is that why the spelling is 'Symple'? |

I like the site. It looks like it was put together pretty well. The one thing I think needs some work on is the products page. I click on producst and alls I see is just the same links as on the left side? Whats the deal with that. I definetely think there should be pictures on this page and even featured items or ON SALE items. You can make a seperate link for just ON SALE items if you have any sales. Also even NEW items that you just recently added might be a nice touch. Have you made any sales from your website yet? How are you promoting it? Well good luck on it. Looks pretty good and of course we all know its spelled simple, but it was probably taken which is why you with with symple or you may have another reason for the change, but I dont think thats a draw back. That actually gives is it different touch.
Have fun. |

It isn't bad. It looks really rather plain but that is ok. It is a pretty smooth layout. I am wondering why you have the welcome to the site down at the bottom of the page. Not many people will see it down there. I don't really care for the text on the top navigation.

in the css, cant you combine all of this
CODE <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style7 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif} --> </style> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style8 {font-family: Arial} --> </style> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style9 {font-size: 10px} --> </style> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style10 {font-size: 10} --> </style> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style11 {color: #FF0000} --> </style> and combine it so it will look like this CODE <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style7 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif} --> <!-- .style8 {font-family: Arial} --> <!-- .style9 {font-size: 10px} --> <!-- .style10 {font-size: 10} --> <!-- .style11 {color: #FF0000} --> </style> or is there a certin reason why its like that >_<  ..i like the design of the site..i dont see any Meta Tags which are important if you want search engines like google to list your site.. the meta tags are like thisQUOTE <head> <meta name="description" content="DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE/PAGE"> <meta name="keywords" content="KEYWORDS HERE"> <meta name="author" content="YOUR NAME OR YOUR COMPANYS NAME"> <meta name="contact_addr" content="E-MAIL ADDRESS YOUR SITE ADMIN CAN BE CONTACTED AT"> </head> well thats about it >_< i still like the whole design of the cart...it looks nice..maybe a few pictures instead of plain pinkish purple menu, or maybe its jsut because i dont like purple..eh |

Your site is nice, simple in layout and is easy to navigate. The only problem I see is the spelling of the URL. Symple instead of simple. I can see that you have put lots of hard-work on your site. It contains many items.
One item or menu if you include in the site which will serve customers greatly is FORUM or discussion board where customers can say something even before they actually buy the products. This is good for confidence building measures between your customers and your company. That's all my take. |

Great site
 How to buy something from your site? Btw, this is good idea! HTML <head> <meta name="description" content="DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE/PAGE"> <meta name="keywords" content="KEYWORDS HERE"> <meta name="author" content="YOUR NAME OR YOUR COMPANYS NAME"> <meta name="contact_addr" content="E-MAIL ADDRESS YOUR SITE ADMIN CAN BE CONTACTED AT"> </head> That's need on your site. Best regards |

I can't open it. It's down.
Tried both: symple and simple pleasures but without luck... Check it. |
