Your feedback would be appreciated

It looks like a nice website.

I would probably change the header if I were you. Something without the URL - may be you can get it designed at fiverr or here in the forum.

Apart from that all nice. Good luck.

Is it quirkie-gifts.co.uk?

selling lots of different products?

quirkiegifts.co.uk is a parked domain on my computer.

I think it looks pretty good as well, its a good start. I would get all the legal pages up on your sight as well (TOS etc).

The overall feel: Very simplistic. I would say that it works for what you are trying to do though. No other gift sites I have ever been too went that crazy with the design. Also, the website header at the top of the browser and the tab read contact@(your website's name). This happens no matter what page I go to. Odd.

First Thought: Very first gift to catch my eye was the tandem skydive. Is that what they are calling quirky these days?

The Products We Stock: An interesting and diverse selection. Still, I'm just not seeing how they are all "quirky". Maybe I am just weird and don't know it; but I would maybe go for a different description of your site/gifts.

Offering Free Delivery: Cannot imagine anyone complaining about that.

Font Style: For me personally, it works. I'm not looking for something overly fancy on a gift site.

Content: I'd say that your About Us page could definitely use more.

Kursat - Do you mean 'quirkie gifts .co.uk Putting the quirkie appeal into your gifts' to remove this? What would you put there instead? Thank you for your comments

quadxnet - Legal documents with Vat reg number etc? In the mean time do customers look for this? as in would it put customers off that i dont have that on the website at the minute? thank you for your comments

Do not know about your products matching the domain name but I guess they don't have to be. How exactly would you define a quirky gift??

But I would suggest that you work on the header and the sidebar. Maybe have a logo designed or something interactive and not too simple. The sidebar appears to be too clustered so maybe you could consider expanding it a bit? The font is just fine.
Good luck with your website!

The site itself is excellent. I agree with one of the other posters that you might want to change up the header. It looks a bit like something you put up at the last minute as a place holder for something else. Also, do you plan to have an opt-in form so you can do email marketing or send out the occasional newsletter?

Over all, the site is good. Looks very functional which is the most important part. If you want to start making some improvements to give it a more boutique feel, I have a few comments.

I would recommend starting by getting some branding around your name. Get a really great quirky logo up there instead of the text and flower. Since this is a eCommerce site and not a blog, I don't think a big graphical banner up there beyond a GREAT logo is needed. Instead of a big banner, consider adding some large graphics between the nav bar and the products.

People are used to seeing these large graphics at the top of eCommerce sites that tell them what the special items, or promos are.

You might want to make your images more uniform. Your candles looks great isolated on the white background, you might want to consider following suit for all the items.

I personally prefer categories across the top, with drop downs, but the side nav is fine as well. I do have an issue with home being on the right side of the page, and so tiny. Most people will be looking for an upper left home button on your menu bar/nav

These are just random templates I am grabbing, don't know who made them etc, but these kinda show some of the things I mentioned.

This site has the large images and three mid size boxes, showing product, and then mentioning specials etc:
Caramel Store Preview - ThemeForest
Fashion Zone Magento Theme Preview - ThemeForest

You also have random misspellings and grammar issues through the site, which might turn buyers off.

"There subtle fragrancse can be detected in a room even though the candle isn't burning."

With your site being quirky gifts, I think you are missing out on more branding opportunities by not having fun, wacky descriptions selling your products. I can think of such great ideas for those 'dog in swim suit' money banks.

I would try and make my buyers feel like they came to my site for a whole experience.

HTH!

You still need to have a basic banner up there, but use a nicely designed, well-branded logo instead of the generic flower and the text. It will make a huge difference.

Good Luck!

I best start working on all of these..

Any more feedback from WF would be appreciated

thank you

Hi

I changed my website a little last night with the layout either side of the products on the homepage and awaiting a logo...is it looking ok at the minute?

thank you

Looks like you are on the right track. Be sure and post again when you get the logo up there.

i have a logo on the site now.

few more tweaks across the site to be made and more stock to be added.

The content if the site is good enough to amuse anyone. But to tell the truth I didn't like the theme very much. It looks a little simple.

generally good.

The only improvement I'd suggest is slightly more "proffessional" looking web-design overall. This is a difficult concept to understand at first, but with some advice from here, I eventually understood what they meant, which is that a very simple web design that looks like an amateur could do it, won't give the same trust factor as if the design looks like it needed a professional. I'd say yours is a bit too simple, in that way, although the general "feel" of your site I'd say is good, I'd suggest finding some way to make it look like it required a professional. A simple rectangula banner won't do that. For example, find a way to make the gray menu-bar near the top, go up into the top area, around the logo, or something like that, just so that it looks more "professional" in terms of difficulty of design. It needs doing carefully, because your site is almost excellent already, but just a little touch like that can make a big difference in terms of trust for visitors.

hope that helps

does it not look very professional at the minute or could do with few more changes?
its themed as fresh fun easy to use gift shop.
ive recently had the logo professional done which i really like.
i use an eCommerce package and limited to the things i can do as ive created the site using their tools.

almost excellent already sounds good thank you. With the grey menu bar to you mean above the logo?

thank you for your comments
