Hi Just finished building this site. I’m looking for your honest opinion on layout, content and easy of use Would you buy supplements from it? http://www.hitthemarc.com/ Thanks for your time
Looks good, except I don't like the favicon. That was the first thing I saw and felt like I was at a heavy metal concert.
thanks texisman its supposed to be a dumbbell ill look for a new one and chawlars the host blocks several countries & blocks of IP as its an north american site .. to many hack attempts and a tad overzellous on that...
Nice design. Search box looks out of place. Give some left margin in "Featured Products" section as the products are sticking to the left menu. Same with all the product blocks.
dude i dont know what kind of businessman you are but let me tell u something on the second economy of the world (bigger than all of the european countries together) we cant see your website. so you really wanna make some cash or just to focus on usa?
Ya i know that why i am moving or have moved all my other sites away from this host but this site can only sell to canada, or to the canadian market Supplements are a tricky thing when you try and leave the borders
I think the top header takes to much space. I also think that the products that you see for sale also need a ''more info'' text link for people interested in the product. I am myself genually interested in your products (i am however not from Canada or U.S.) and was a bit confused how to get more information about the product. I had to find out by hovering over the picture that it might lead to more information. Every image of a product you are displaying needs a ''more info'' text link to the description page of the particular product and not only on particular pages. I am myself at the moment experimenting with Joomla so i recognized the menu as Joomla immediately (if it's not it sure looks like it) so i guess your bound to specific template design but i have some ideas on how to ''clean'' it up regarding design. I think you should not display all those individual products on the first page as is of now and make it clear by placing a couple of generic images that tells the visitor what kind of products are available and not giving a overwhelming product list to look at. My suggestion is keep it simple and let the visitor gradually decide what product it wants to explore. It's too busy but i guess that is due to the template you are using. I would have a total different design for a store but that's me. I like a clean design with enough white spaces symetricly devided over the page. The top header i would loose for sure, it's just to big and already takes to much space in. Make your logo not to big...look at the logo of DP...that is right on the money. Is it a standard template? or did you have it made? You really should make your design on paper or some drawing software that is easy to use to make a layout and when you are done...hire someone to make a custom template. I did not have the time to compare your site with any things mentioned in this article but the article might be usefull since you are starting a e-commerce site http://www.sitepoint.com/article/steps-horrible-ecommerce-site
I agree with Edz on all points, especially moving to a simplier 'category' link to the products because the front page seems a bit busy. I would also suggest slowing down he scrolling products in the right side bar. You might want to consider providing a bit more 'white space' on the page -- this goes back to the front page being a bit cluttered.
Are you going to add anymore products? I like the way the site looks, I post on a lot of bodybuilding message boards I'll add your link in my sig to some of the Canadian boards I post on.
WOW thanks for spending all this time reviewing the site.. as the site is joomla with virtuemart, thier are some limits im looking for a way to get more info or product desc, like on the Product Categories . so this should clear up the how to get more info. Im also talking to my host about cleaning up the Featured Products make them more tidy, more white space and have product desc the template is the default but heavly modified when you say the top header, are u refering to the cnd flag and the pics or the membership box. and thanks for the link some good reading thier.
