    Opinions much appreciated... if you find insects distrubing, best give this one a miss - I sell live insects to feed to pet reptiles.

    livefood site


    Thank you in advance :D

    Design looks basic, but the logo looks bright and friendly. Though i would consider getting rid of the clipart images of the insects, and consider putting some actual photos of the products are people are buying. I think you could improve your conversion this way.

    Also maybe an about us page, as it is an e-commerce site.

    My comp took a fair while to load. I think there may be too much white. The header, navigation, content and footer are all white. I agree photos will make it look more professional except for the cool logo one. Other than that quite good. Cant say it looked appetising though :)

    Thank you all for the feedback.

    The 'clipart' images are actually custom made for the site, as many reptile keepers actually dread the aspect of live insects it seemed a good idea to make them appear less 'creepy' by using illustrations instead. They're really not pretty to lok at.

    I suppose a few pictures on the home page of tubs of livefood would be worth doing, to make it 'real'... I will be adding frozen rodent for snakes soon and really dont know how i'm going to illustrate that.. dead mouse, or cute cartoon mouse...

    I agree there is a lot of white... not really sure where to go with that, perhaps a background shade of light blue/grey would settle it?

    Glad u like the logo, it was a custom job and I paid for that one... i'm unsure about the wording, the blue on top i think needs to change, perhaps a new font.

    About us page is a good idea, I will add that soon.

    Yeah I would say just a bit more information about your company to make the user feel safer about buying, then you should be ok, nice effort..
