    background image

    The background image over powers everything on the page, I assume the focus should be the search, categories and products... yet these are all dwarfed by a stock image.

    Also the go search button should suggest search and look like a button, it looks like a badge with the word "go".

    The blue and white works nicely, not as sure about the red.

    Header & Footer

    Posted on Oct 21, 2010 at 6:41 AM

    Positive: 1. Nice use of banner image.

    Negative: 1. Very old header and footer style. Since its shopping website. So need more jazzy items 2. Very low focus towards product & other features to promote the website. 3. Try some gradient for the color scheme 4. Make some abstract background effect instead of plain white. 5. left and right panel were too duel. Make a R&D in some famous shopping site.

    Sorry I list out more number of negative points. Hope it will help u out to turn your website to be world class one.

    All the best..!

    Layout not balanced

    Posted on Oct 21, 2010 at 3:31 PM

    I would say the signup and login is really lost at the top its hard to locate. The banner image is taking too much of necessary space as well catching too much of attention. Whereas a shopping cart site should always be more focused on offers, product listing and easy to have access to categories.

    I don't understand why you have the login at such a bottom place returning users would be hard to have easily navigate their instead maybe a small js script could be used at the top login or even you have enough empty broad space to have the login on the top blue area.

    The categories on left I think can be bit more popped with some light contrast shade and have some bullets added to it. The headings like Categories, Login Here has capital letters and again the advertisement have same box header with no all caps it does'nt balance the layout in a way.

    From a end user perspective I can say this site wont attract me to come back to shop. Its a hard fact but I really think that way. If you pay more attention to the center part with having more products rather than having so much of details on homepage would help with other suggestions.

    Font colors & Input controls

    Posted on Oct 26, 2010 at 8:14 PM

    Whats great Good work on the layout. Everything looks well placed for a shopping website. Homepage is quite creative. Good color scheme as well.

    What needs improvement For me the font choice and color ruins an otherwise good color scheme for the website.

    Black text on the categories column is Ok but the text in the mid-content is too black and creates un-necessary contrast. This get worse on the product list page. Try using grey instead.

    Also on the product list page - Again use grey instead of black on the text and borders. Also any blue text should match the shades of blue you used in the color scheme.

    Finally style your input controls(textbox etc) coz they look so 1990s. Padd them a little, use a border color other than black and once again - Replace the black text with grey !

    Hope this helps.

    It's a little busy header ;] The layout is standard, you have only 2 colours. GO button doesn't look like a button. I think Sign Up/Login is positioned inappropriate. Nevertheless the concept works.
