Wanted: Website Review Fancy Pantz

[virtualwords]

Hi Guys

Be great if you could give me feedback on my new website I have launched, I have a shop local to where I live but thought I would also get online.

The site still has loads more products ect to be added, I have however added some fancy dress costumes, so you will get an idea of how they will look.

All feedback appreciated

The site is www.fancypantz.org.uk

Thanks in advance

Gav

Great looking site. Visuals are spot on, usability and navigation work well and colour scheme fits together nicely.

All in all a very good and very marketable site.

Yep thumbs up here, looks good and works well.

Not keen on the font in either the top or side menus but the overall look is the business.

Nice work, you've done well making all that with a site creator

Agree with Lee - not keen on the top menu font/size (side menus look alright to me though)

 

[newguy]

A very professional look and catchy name!

You are making a terrible decision to build an ecommerce site linked to an offline store on a .org.uk domain.

As a pure seo play a .org.uk has a purpose - it will rank, and you can get the traffic. If you have a legit business attached to a domain rather than affiliate site, you are going to be getting traffic from word of mouth, people seeing the url in your store and so on. You're then going to lose loads of those visitors when they mess up typing in the domain later on.

I would rebrand the site with a new domain immediately. If you think I am wrong, try and make a list of legit ecommerce stores operating from a .org.uk - off the top of my head I can't think of a single successful one.

Hi Frog

Not quite sure what you mean to be honest.

I have a proper shop where people come and visit called Fancy Pantz, and needed to get online.

Not sure that people would be put off from buying from a .org.uk, well certainly not me anyway.

Thanks for your comments, I have took these on board and now looking further into it.

Thanks

Gav

I don't mean they'll be put off once they are on the site - I mean they will not even arrive at the site in the first place because they accidently typed in fancypantz.co.uk or .org. Can you buy the .co.uk? Or can you force the owner to hand it over via a trademark?

 

[virtualwords]

Arrrrrrr I see what you mean.

No the business is quite new so any trademark issues are out of the question.

I have also advertised and marketed the site heavily within my area, not just the Outlet shop but also the website address has been handed out on over 10,000 flyers already and even more this week.

Hopefully people who have visted the shop will remember the web address, especially with the laeflets and cards I will give them with there purchase, also with some good seo and quite a rememberal name they will hopefully find me in the end.

Spend far to much on this to change it now, it was a flip between fancypantz.org.uk and fancypantz.me.

Hopefully I have made the right decision :-? and people will find my site.

Thanks for your comments.

Regards

Gav

I'm still using IE 7 ..

Some pages can not be opened regularly in IE7 ...
Small code optimizations should solve the problem ..
