Its a great design, but I would ditch the search bar on the homepage as I think it distracts from the great layout you already have with the sausages. What I would incorporate is a drop down menu. For example if someone clicks on products from the homepage a drop down menu will appear where they can click on coldcuts, deli, etc. I think that would make it simpler and easier to get to pages.

| 1 | Image of the double smoked bacon should be more appealing to website users. The image looks like something a dog would eat. Sorry |

Putting the minor critism aside, the website looks great. The design is spot on very eye catching. The usability of the site appears good, with a navigation bar being used to allow users to navigate to other webpages.
Well done!

Social IconsMove to the specific items you want people to pin/share. | |

| 1 | All photos are no border! If photos are always white background we need design block design. |
| 2 | In here maybe we need some separator. Horizontal or some other elements. |
| Minor Problem on SS-Webredesign-Product.Description.jpg | |
| 1 | Please think about Can you always prepare white background pictures? Please try to use black or heavy background picture. If not compatible maybe need to improve some design.

| 1 | Probably too much space wasted... |
Great use of images and subtle patterns. Would change the word 'product' - sounds too salesy, perhaps which 'meat' would sounds smoother.
There's no call to action on the home page either - make it clear what you want people to do next.

Social buttonsWould be good adding social media buttons | |

Store locator QuestionDiane, You mentioned one of the concerns is whether or not the store locator is easy to find. On the new design my only comment is it is label "Where to Buy". That is a bit un-traditional for the label of the store locator. You may want to test naming it "Store Locator" and see if that gets more clicks | |

UghI just realized I reviewed your current site. I think my concepts on making the Search bar larger and adding Social Media into the footer at least are still valid. Looking at the flats you are on your way though to a better design from my perspective. You can also play with putting the Social Media icons as a sub nav below the seach bar. | |
| New Idea | |
Social MediaIn your footer you probably want to start your social media engagement by getting the standard icons for Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ there. Given the nice clean style of your footer this will make the social icons pop, and I have a hunch they will get some love. | |

Search BarFrom an aesthetic design perspective I think you have done a nice job on the search bar, on thing I would think about doing is actually widen it further so the left edge lines up with the "P" in Product in the menu. Also, may want to make the Call To Action button "Search" a hair more prominent. It looks simply like a label so folks may get confused on that. Other than that I believe you are on the right path | |
Appetizing, excellent choice in leaving all the work to your photos with the food.
I'm vegetarian but this looks very appealing. I like the rustic look. I think the Store Locater is easy to find. I would suggest the sharing options be underneath each thing you would want the user to share. E.g. underneath or next to "Let's Cook". It wasn't obvious to me where the share buttons were.
Also, and this is a personal gripe, Housewives?? I think that's too generic a market to hope for. As though they all think the same way. you'd be better off aiming for "main household shopper with a combined household income of $50,000+" or "pinterest users".
