    Hello xxdaggerxx,

    I think it's important that you get this right. I feel your rings should be at the top of the page where the guest can view instantly what you are selling. There is also too much darkness involved in your layout, I would probably opt for a white background with a black logo font and a dark purple sub header. I can show you what I mean, if you want.

    Also your scroller is not functioning.

    I agree. Plus are you going to have an ssl certificate? Many people will not purchase if they don't see that. Also when I tried to view jewelry in other price ranges nothing showed up. Is that part not functional yet.

    Pretty site. It needs a bit more work.

    I agree with the earlier comments, the top part is well designed while the bottom part isn't very appealing. The "#Polychemy Tag your self on instagram with our Jewlery and appear on our wall!" is not very readable.

      This is a good site! I love the graphics and the layout. I would really buy at first visit!

      You can fix some errors on the lower part of your site. But I know it's manageable.

      Good job!

    The top part looks good. At the lower half though, the text can be a little unreadable. Good luck on your website (and your business?)!

      Hi Are you refering to the bottom part (the instagram section)? Yes i agree there are some bugs with the layout. And it looks better on chrome because of the B&W, filter.
      I'll been fixing those issues.

      Yes we, will be accepting credit cards off the site, so we will be PCI complaint and SSL ready.

      Are you referring to the banner on top of the page, or the instagram images at the bottom?


      Thanks every one fore your feedback, i'll be fixing the issues at the bottom.
      Will post an update soon. Thanks!

    Hello xxdaggerxx,

    As you have requested, here is a demonstration image of what I mean. It is only a quick modification of your template live in the browser. It does not reflect my true ability to create a decent looking layout and is only intended as a personal opinion of my taste, and does not necessarily mean your layout is worse.

    http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/i3...795c9-88402903

    There are many changes I would make to what I've shown you already, but it would require modifying the HTML in browser... which is not too good if I leave the page without saving

      Thanks allot for the tips. I really appreciate it.
      I think the designs looks similar, and not really worth the change.

      Anyway, i'll be making the other changes listed above soon.

    Hi Folks, thanks for all the valuable feedback.
    I've managed to make most of the changes,

    -All customer forms are now SSL protected.
    -Site is now PCI-Compliant and accepts credit cards! (took me a long time to implement this)
    -Fixed the navigation and instagram images at the bottom.

    Added alot of other features, mainly a proper coupon system.
    Also some new Gem jewellery!!

    Please do check it out and tell me what you think. I am curious to know the page response time for everyone.

    Is the page load acceptable for you? Do let me know thanks!

      I love this as both an idea and a website! I also can't think of anything I would change, great job!

    Hi xxdaggerxx,
    I like both, the idea as a whole and the site. However when I clicked on an item on the landing page I got to a page that looked almost identical to the one I just was on -- until I scrolled down.

    I believe that the product pages should have only a small strip of on image, at max just a third the hight of the image on the landing page.

      Thanks Sholem.
      That's an interesting point.

      Anyone else feel that way too?

    Your site looks great! I like the thumbnails effects, But i think you need to do something about the background, maybe a lighter one. make the title 'Polychemy Jewelry' a bit bigger to make it stand out.

    Other than that, site looks cool.

    Thank you!

    Hi, I did a quick eye tracking test on your design to check where the user looks at while visiting the site. I hope the result can help to improve the design:

      Woah that's pretty cool.
      I would love to see this on a larger sample size though.

      Awesome stuff, thanks for the help.

        Hi everyone, thanks for all the feedback. I made some tweaks and changes, main change was the "recommended jewellery" links at the bottom of the product pages.

        You can check it out here:
        Polychemy | Customizable Jewelry | Roman Ring

        I think it improves navigation a whole lot.

    Beautifully designed but with certain drawbacks (1)The link is dynamic which is not beneficial for seo ranking (2)no zooming options available for the products which is not good from the e-commerce point of view.

    I wonder which CMS you have used? Something developed from a scratch or maybe commercial solution?

    Are you sure this is a problem? Because i already have a giant banner on the top and a 3D display.
    Also for SEO, the sitemaps are submitted to google, and there is straight links hidden within the HTML, all jewelry pages are indexed by google already. Images too.

    I wonder which CMS you have used? Something developed from a scratch or maybe commercial solution?
    No CMS, everything build from scratch. Took about 4 months to build it. The customization system is completely proprietary.

    ok so based on sisindia feedback, i have cleaned up the URLS

    Old Product URL:
    http://www.polychemy.comt/Jewelry.php?name=ROMANRING

    New Product URL:
    Polychemy | Personalised Jewellery | Roman Name Ring

    Is this better?
