    Site URL: https://www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk Hello, I've recently updated the home page on e-commerce site and would appreciate a separate opinion as I feel like i'm getting used to seeing it/running out of creative juices, what do you think about the new layout? I want to make it as enticing as possible to make the customer's want to explore more of the website and boost conversion rates. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hiya, I've just had a quick look on your website and I absolutely love the colour way / font / animations. It's super easy to read and to navigate. I would maybe suggest on your 'Artwork' page, I kinda of got a bit lost on what page I was on and what I had just clicked, especially as it opens up a new tab and then when you close down the home page tab, you have to go looking for the URL again. Do you think it's worth mimicking the same 'above the fold' of the home page to the artwork page? For the artwork, I felt like you should have a brief description of the process on how you created the work e.g. techniques used or inspiration, for example, the 'spoons' I love them but I want to know how you created them and why? It doesn't have to be massive, even just a couple of lines. Good luck! Ellie Cobbled Streets

    Hiya, just had a look at your site: - what is a snuffle? it might be worth adding a small description of what it is and how it can benefit your pet under the 'custom enrichment for your pet'. - the pop up announcement, the text is hard to read so you may want to change font colour as it blends into the background but I love the button! - home page: it might be worth reducing the font text as it can be a bit overwhelming on a laptop. It might also be worth reducing the margins when looking at the laptop screen because at the moment, your pictures and text fill the whole screen and it makes a bit hard to digest what's going. - Do you think gallery is essential for the header bar? You could do a 'commission with us' tab in the footer and link the bulk order photos and 'contact us' form. For the products with the pets, would this not be featured on your social media? - It might be worth adding 'Contact' under 'About Us' and then on the 'Contact' page, add a form for people to fill out which would then automatically be emailed to you. - I'm based in the UK so I don't know if this is relevant but you may need to look into having a cookies & privacy policy page if you are handling people's information and accepting payment. Good luck with everything and I really like your logo! Ellie (www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk)

    What was the first step you took to make your business idea a reality? I've always wanted to work for myself and I think something just clicked where I thought "why don't I give this business idea a go?" and I knew I would regret it if I didn't or look for another opportunity. I definitely think the first step was telling friends & family as you know it's real and can hold you accountability - even more so when you create a social media account. What recommendations do you have for emerging entrepreneurs? Don't look too far in advance, it's harder said than done and if you want to give it a go but the idea of running your own business overwhelming, just set yourself a time frame like "I'll put 100% effort in for a year and if it doesn't work, then atleast you know you couldn't have done anymore". plus, look at logistics and see what else is working in the world that is similar to your own.

    I really liked the site's layout. I would maybe review the text on the images as it can a bit overwhelming and you can't see the image too great (second image down on the home page) so it might be worth downsizing. I would also like to see a "meet the team" under About Us because atm there's only one person added. Also, do you think it's worth reducing the amount of options on the navigation and place some of them in the footer? You could have By Genre, Membership and Showtimes & News with search being a magnifying glass and then in the footer, you could have About Us, Events and Archive. I am viewing this from a laptop so it may be why it's feeling overwhelming in size.

    Hello, I am Ellie and I am the founder of Cobbled Streets which is an online marketplace dedicated to support small businesses and creators found in Norfolk, UK. I launched this business a year ago as I've always wanted to challenge myself and support locally where possible. With lockdown taking place, I thought it was the most amount of free time to figure out what I wanted to do with myself and I'm amazed my business is still going - (I know I shouldn't say this but you never really know how a business would go).

    Thank you, I've tested it out but it hasn't worked. Do you think it's because I have a filter plugin now?

    all good now - thank you.

    Site URL: https://www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk URL: www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk Hello, how to change the automatic "All" to "View All" on product category please? Thank you!

    Site URL: https://www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk Hello, How do you fix a product image in place so the text just scrolls please? At the moment, the text is exceeding the image so when you scroll past the image, the text just keeps going down the page. I guess I'm asking, how do you spilt the page to side fixed and the other side move please? Thanks!

    Site URL: https://www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk Hello, I've done some research on the coding for circular images and dividers on drop down box but they haven't seem to work and I'm not a coding expert / website expert- any advice? URL: www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk Here are the links I've used: Circular images research: https://www.laurenaloiadesigns.com/my-blog/squarespace-tip-how-to-create-circular-images but when I try to identify the blocks, I only get the blocks in the Header or Footer, or the whole collection. Would this be a template issue? Dividers on drop down box research: When I apply the codes mentioned here, they don't seem to work either so i'm wondering is it because i've formatted my website's headers on individual pages rather than a page with sub pages? Any help would be great! Thanks

    yeah I know what you mean now. How would you add the Free Delivery to the product page? would you add to the product description or where would you put it? I'll mix up the product page, normally it's just whatever new supplier I have added that day is at the top. Thanks!
  16. Ecold
    Thank you for your feedback and I know what you mean about the blog taking up the webpage. Normally I have best sellers and product categories but for Christmas, I thought I'm mix it up (bad move!). I've added your feedback to my to-do to help review my site 🙂

    Thank you for your feedback and i've now purchased the book! I definitely know now what you mean by overwhelming text.

    Site URL: https://www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk/shop Hello! Looking at the analytics, a high percentage of my audience just go to the home page and leave rather than exploring the rest of the shop (sadly). Could I have people's opinion please on my website? I'm not sure how to improve it. I would really appreciate some advice please, thank you 🙂

    Site URL: https://www.cobbledstreetshop.co.uk Hello, I've asked for opinions a few months ago and was just wondering if people could review our website again as we are coming up the first 6 months milestone (only small but something!) and wondered if anything needs updating. Also, if anyone knows how to create a table for information like cookies, privacy notice etc. that would be great 🙂 Thanks!

    Hello, I like the navigation on your website. 1. I definitely agree with adding short text on your first page as it's not clear who you are, why you draw, etc. It's hard to connect to you and make us want to buy your artwork (even though I am v. much enjoying it). 2. On the 'Prints' page, I would definitely appreciate to know the sizing at first glance rather than having to click into the print. 3. If you can, it might be worth adding more commission work examples. 4. Lastly, I'm not a massive fan of the loading logo. I really like it as the opening scene to your website and I love the concept, but as it happens on every click, it can be a bit tedious after a while. Good luck and best wishes selling your artwork.

    Hello, For starters, I love your logo and colour way throughout. Also, all your social media links work. 1. On the home page, I'm a bit confused why you have your first image as a photograph of nature when you are website for accounting. If it's to suggest peace of mind, business growth, etc. that might get lost on someone. I like the layout of the 'Our Core Values' and it fits nicely on my laptop screen. I feel like to tie your website together, you should include another section for your 'services' and maybe even 'reviews' with buttons to go to the relevant pages. 2. I feel like with the 'services' page, each subheading needs a price description, price range and what to expect or why this would be beneficial for their business, especially when compared to your competitors. 3. Lastly, I feel like your 'Contact' page could just have a couple of sentences next to the form to suggest why they might contact you e.g. for a quote, to have advice on what to do next, etc. It also makes that page a lot more friendly and welcoming. Good luck and you can take all of this board or none of it.

    The website looks great. Maybe think about placing 'Sell to us' under 'Contact' as your header as there are too many options and it falls onto another line - nothing major though.

    Hello, just had a quick look - overall it's a good website. 'About' section, you should add a bit more of a background story, e.g. how you got into baking, why you love it, etc so your customers can relate. Make sure to check with alignment, idk if it is just my screen but where 'Why choose Onxy Lab?' is, all the text is not aligned with each other. Definitely recommend adding a block on your home page that is linked to your instagram so people can keep update with your most recent stock and see how your cakes appear, esp. if people have special requests (and it means you wouldn't need to constantly be updating your website to fit in with the endless possibilities) Checked your social media, links work well but definitely start thinking about building up your social media before launching the website. Totally off topic, how did you add a username to your fb business page? It keeps saying I'm not eligible? I can't figure out if it's a glitch or I haven't fulfilled a certain criteria. Good luck with everything 🙂

    @monocle.jasmin - thanks for your advice and opinion. Totally understand where you are coming from and have updated my site based on this. Who / what would you advise as a good 'above the fold' example to be? and where did you discover the orphan words so I can correct them please? Was it throughout or with products, etc? Also, I just had a look @ your website (based on your post). I viewed it via my computer and you might find the advice I was given earlier,"on my large monitor the images gets too big because of the full width", useful - up to you. I imagine it looks great on a mobile but could be too much on laptop/computer uses.

    @Spark_plugin Thank you for your feedback and i've taken it on board - definitely agree with the images being too big!
