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.
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.
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.
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 this
QUOTE
<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.
<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>
The layout is clean and simple, which works best for an online store. Online store designs should not be too busy which distracts attention away from the products. The one thing which I see as a problem is the lack of detail in the product descriptions.
I clicked on the "Yurman Inspired Bangle" bracelet first. I see the stones are cubic zirconia, but no description of the metal used in it. What kind of metal is it, and is it solid metal, plated or layered? I clicked on the "Gold Tone Cuff Watch" next. Again, no description of the metal used. No name of the watch company, either. Next I tried the "Genuine Crystal Stone Earring" (a pair of earrings is plural, by the way. you may want to add an 's' to your earring sets). I wondered what sort of crystal stone it was, no description of it. Austrian crystal, Hong Kong crystal, quartz crystal? Next I tried looking at a set. The "Antique Coin Set", I liked this one actually. But what kind of coins are they? Real antique coins or reproductions? Classical Roman or Greek coins, Renaissance coins, Victorian era coins?
All in all, I suggest you grab a catalog from a department store, and look up their jewelry descriptions to see what sort of detail they use to describe their products. Knowing exactly what they're going to be getting inspires confidence in customers.
Also, from your FAQ, I see you do not charge sales tax. Since you are based in NY state, if you sell anything to a customer in NY, the state will expect sales tax from you to be passed on to them. Hopefully, you have already talked to a lawyer or done research on the technical aspects of selling things over the internet. If not, I would suggest talking to a lawyer and accountant about it. Preferably someone who is familiar with doing business online, and the legal and financial aspects of it.
Website Ideas I'm deciding to take down my site, it's getting kind of old and
boring, but I don't want to just stop with having a site. I need some ideas for something that
provides a service of some sort to people. There are millions of blogs, I really don't want to
post about my life on a daily basis anyway. All ideas will be welcomed, I can't seem to think
of anything at all, so Im asking you. What could my new website be about?...
Hey, new here to trap17.com and am currently hosted by them. I have created this new student based
interactive news website for my school. Check it out and tell me what you guys think.

QUOTE Ok, I've changed the design of my website. It is now (according to last validation)
100% XHTML 1.01 Strict... Most of the only some of the links on the frontpage (Stargate, Warhammer
40,000, and command and conquer) ones are dead, but the others should be working fine. The website
was designed for Mozilla Firefox 2.0.14, although looks awkward in Internet Explorer, still displays
everything good. Haven't tested this on Opera, Konqueror, or Safari yet (Since I don't have
any of those browsers), so, if any of fellow Trap17'ers can test the si...
Ok, my website was online for not quite a while now, but I haven't showed you my site yet!
Ok, my site is www.obelisk.co.nr or if you want to it is also http://obelisk.trap17.com/ It is
XHTML 1.0 Strict so people who criticize people because their website cannot validated (like me) my
site does VALIDATE! although I don't think CSS will validate... Anyhoo... my forums are at
http://forum.obelisk.trap17.com/ so it would be great if you could join or something. So any
suggestions? Queries? etc?...
Technicolor
- A Would-be Internet Radio Show Website (0)
"Technicolor" was an idea for a comedy website that made use of late 30s to early 60s American
culture (as inspired by such games as Fallout and Bioshock) which would touch on such issues as
racism, sexism, politics, religion, and other such somewhat hot topics. The website itself is
intended to be designed similarly to a to an older poster or advertisement, and I think it shows
with the way that I depicted the colors, shapes and various other images. The navigation buttons
were simply things I found via a google search, then used some Photoshop techniques to dull them i...

Hi, I'm working on a link exchange site (tedallsearch.com). It is a tool for those who would
prefer manual link exchange and are very selective about who they link to. Although links are
manually exchanged there are fully automatic systems to ensure that no member is cheating. Who is
interested can register for free, NO COST, NO reciprocal link required. I intend to maintain this
site as a free resource for the community. TedallSearch.com is currently in beta and I'd
appreciate if you'd help me do the final touches. For now, please post feedback he...

Well, my website has now been switched from rifehost, to here. Which is already 120% better by the
way. Tramposch and I have worked on this site for about 1-2 weeks. It is still not done though. We
are going to be working on it more yet, and probably more after that. It's in php, and it is
supposed to resemble www.runescape.com, which I think it does a pretty dang good job at that. We
are going to be adding more links, and advertisements on our website. But for now it looks pretty
good. The "Play enrit" will be the webclient to play our game, but for now we only ha...
Well I was contemplating this idea for awhile and I just had to think about it and see what would
happen, Then of course when I started designing the sigs and of course found our emoticon I thought
about it more, then of course now that was semester for the school was over I could actually think
about and so in a few hours this morning I found a template that I like and started working out the
details for it and now it is complete. SO MEMBERS OF THE EVIL SOCIETY I BRING TO YOU OUR EVIL HOME
