Hello members, I am looking for honest reviews for my retail fashion and accessories site before its official launch: http://asianinspiredfashion.com/ What I am looking for: AIF An online store with contemporary Asian inspired jewelry and fashions by individual young oriental designers. I would love to hear your opinion about the layout and design. Are they matches? Should I remove the bottom part of the news section to avoid the home page seen too heavy or should I keep them to make the home page more informational? This my first online retail site. Is there anything additional I should/could do to build more welcome feeling and trust with online shoppers? Traffic: My beginning shoppers will first come from my Asian related blog with my email listing from my retail business of nine years. I have already claim my site with both the pinterst and facebook. My site is already on the first page is you type in Asian Inspired Fashion. However, there only several hundred people use this key word "Asian Inspired Fashion" for searching in google even though the search result of that keywords are more than millions. Any advice for SEO and marketing? Which kind of keywords I should use instead to attract more traffic from Google? I am not a very social person, but I hope to have some more traffic from internet. Any SEO tips? What do you think about commission base seo? This site is only two weeks old and I am still working on adding more products. However, I was planning to official launch it at Nov. 8th for the coming holiday season. So I am a little behind for the date that I told me friend and blog visitors with. It will be nice to have some honest review asap so I can try to make the changes. Thank you very much for your review and hope you have a great day.
Have you tried any optimization? The site was loading very slow for me. Have you tried any cross-sales to try to sell matching sets of items. For example, a dark pair of earrings to match a dark bracelet?
Thank you, ECommOuttakes, the site is still in progress not ready for sale yet. I am trying to get it down in these several day so I can get it ready for holiday. Will add some matching and cross sales items. I am not sure why the site loads slow, maybe it's because the image slideshow. I will see what I can do with it. Thank you.
Thank you, Tatti for the honest review. and you are welcome for whatever you thanks for. Just wonder what you don't like so maybe I can make the improvement? Is the design? the product or the attitude?
I wrote a message and then my browser crashed. -.- Anyway... I love your site. I really like the homepage and would not change a thing. About the rest of the website/pages, I would consider removing the Product Tags section though. You already have categories listed on the top. I feel like the Product Tags are too big and messy. Also, consider moving the search bar above Men's Apparel so that it is more visible. This might be a very small thing but where you wrote Women's Apparel (arrive Nov. 18th) I would change "arrive" to "arrives" because it sounds better to me. Overall, I like your site! You have some very nice jewelry pieces too. By the way, I tried sending you a PM but I don't know if it went through now since my browser crashed. Best of luck with the website!
Very nice, but design need to be more attractive. I think you should have to look at these: 1. first of all, you need to do off page SEO 2. display more products on home page as the customer can access easily your product item 3. "Asian Inspired Fashion" is your domain name, that's why your site in in to position into search engine while searching by using such keyword...but remember that most of common people never use such keyword in generally...so do some SEO (on page and off page both) by using very common keywords like : online jewelry shopping, asian jewelry, handmade jewelry, asian handbags etc. Best of luck !!!
Thank you very much, nelum8, Thank you for your review and the pm with the great advice. They are for sure a very helpful reminder I should not miss I will continue work on my site and hope you have a great weekend Thank you for everything
Thank you simo19 with the suggestion about the seo. I will try with some other keywords and I think handmade jewelry is a good one. My original idea was to keep the site design simply so people can focus on the product itself. Do you have any tips to help me with make the design more attractive? I would love to hear your opinions.
Thank you very much Kamona I am glad you like them. I am working on the update hope to put up the clothes soon by this weekend.
Superb quality of content. I really appreciate the writers for giving such a vast information on Fahsion News topic.
hey i have seen your site its really a nyc idea to build this kinda site interesting, but one thing is dissapointing is dat it load very slow
simo19 was looking to buy some links and I sent him some information regarding that the site I had. I said the site was listed in dmoz, the age of the site and how many backlinks it had and from how many referring domains he said that stuff doesn't matter and he just wants the PR to be high... I Wouldn't listen to anything he says regarding SEO LOL
@davidness sorry to say, I don't understand about your message. Is it your personal attack to "simo19" or to related with this thread?
