Feedback on Client Site

Hi All, 

I actually posted for help in the commerce section, but figured while on, I would go ahead and submit a client site for feedback and overall impressions. 

In advance, I do know I have to change her favicon, hah. 

Relevant, or not relevant info, the client is a women's clothing boutique with a desired color scheme that was largely just black and white with tinges of color. Main purpose of course was e-commerce functionality and ability to sell via instagram as well. 

Would love to get feedback on the design for both pros and cons and areas to potentially amend. Thanks!

Hi! 

I think the site looks really good! You did a great job. The images are bright, the layout is clean. I also like the flashing free shipping at the top.  The only thing I would change is the pop up in the lower left. From a user experince the frequency this flashs could be a bit of a distraction. 

I'd stretch the pop up times of the social proofs and give a heavy delay to the newsletter popup. 
It's like – "Oh hey I'm Andy, let's have a coffee in my room!"

Hi @sinjinhilaski,

I've just had a quick look at your website. Looks good!

I'm getting a few pop-ups (mailing list sign-up, recently purchased data, a flashing 'free shipping' banner). All these things can work, but put together and as soon as you land on a site, it can feel a little overwhelming. It may reduce interaction/trust, increase frustration, and cause issues with bounce rates.

I love what you've said about the colour scheme, and I think that sets out a nice USP for the brand. However, that doesn't seem to be clearly represented on the homepage. I would try to convey that message using great photography.

I would also try to reduce down the number of calls to action (CTA) on the homepage. There's currently 'Shop Now!', 'Read more', 'Talk to us!', and a newsletter sign-up form). Pick one clear CTA for the homepage and make sure everything else reinforces that action.

Hope that helps - Gareth 

I just looked at your site and think you did an excellent job. The only changes I’d make is that bottom banner that keeps popping up every ten seconds saying a customer  just purchased so and so item/product. I find it somewhat distracting and unnecessary. I also feel that  the background (herringbone brick/stone) for the clothing is not the most flattering. I realize maybe the intention is a rustic feel of some sort but I think in this case, better photography and a cleaner background will elevate/showcase her clothing much better. Good luck! I can see that you put a lot of time and work into this.

As a blogger my site has a title, author's name, "table" of contents. My about page is the back page of my website like the back page of a book  jacket cover.
