    Hello,

    Could you give some critical feedback on http://www.thompsonoutdoors.com ?

    I'm considering these improvements:
    Move the search box to the top of the left hand bar.
    Create a more visually attractive homepage
    Changing the color of the titles and prices on product pages
    Adding more detail and sales copy for products

    Seems kinda bland to me. The colors aren't bad, but I would spice things up a little. Also, change the alignment of that box containing the knife photos. All in all, it's not bad.

    Yeh, that's my thinking. I think I may do a more graphics based homepage.

    Yeh, I'm trying to figure out how to do that.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Im big into the outdoor sites, own a few, work with some of the top ones online. I would say definitely expand graphically. Also add some additional text and maybe images to the text.

    http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.OnlineShopping

    There home page doesn't always fit the way it should be, but the site definitely instills confidence. I think if you followed that general flow, though keep to content and not as many mid section graphics (unless you have the multi million dollar budget they do :D ) and you should do well.

    I actually like your site, that I am a minimalist at heart. With the bloack text and white background it is easy to read. I also found it easy to navigate. i think the index page could definately use more color and images though. i like your logo. Best of luck with your website.
