Alright so I am a former Disney Bride and I made a post about my awesome wedding gift earlier, but what I need is some feedback.
I decided to make custom wedding gifts and I just built my site.
I'm getting quite a bit of hits but no one has called.
So please!
www.giftsunlimitedshop.com

If not Why?
What do you think about the site?
Any suggestions or changes?
Typos?
Please let me know!

P.S.
If your going to be super critic please send your response to me in PM. hehe Thanks!!!

Heres a link to some sample works
More coming very soon.

Your site lacks...focus? Like, I don't even know what you're trying to sell until a) I read the site to find you're selling 'quilling', and b) I read what quilling is. Unforgettable Gifts is a very generic name.

Also, maybe consider doing away with the virtual sales lady...personally, kinda drives me away, I think it looks tacky.

Not trying to be mean, just an honest opinion from someone who buys online -all- the time! Good luck - and what lovely work! I would certainly buy these for invitations, or maybe for an anniversary gift for a bride?

Unfortunatly the person funding this project (my father) Thinks the lady on there is a great sales thing (i dont agree 100%).

What would you suggest to make it more focused?

Hiya,

I love your work. My mother is an artist, so I've grown up around art - and I can say that this is some of the prettier stuff I've seen.

As to the site, the first thing to do it drop that virtual sales lady. It's kind of tacky imo, and if I just clicked on this page, it'd probably make me think that it was spam.

I like your colors, but I think that it's a little bit too busy on the left and top between the changing image, all the blue / white patterns, the lines, the side bar, etc. I feel like you should move the menu all the way over to the left.

Also, maybe im just a dumb guy, but I dont know what Quilling is . If you find that's the case with most people, you might consider just moving the "what is quilling" information to the front page. People are lazy - if I dont know what you're selling within 15 second of visiting your page, I'm not going to buy anything.

Just my two cents

Perhaps you should have a few pictures of your work 'in use', so to speak, on the front page, and add a short description of what quilling is to the front page as well? Describe in more detail (with pictures?) what your quilling can be used in - invitations, anniversary gifts, favors etc. - I personally have not heard of the art until now, so maybe a lot of your visitors haven't either.

I've also noticed that your URL doesn't match your site/business name? Either way, maybe think those over too, to be more relevant.

I'd also hide the counter on the first page. You can still get stats, your visitors just won't see it.

Please PM me, if you like, I'd be happy to brainstorm with you =)

Awesome opinions, as soon as I get more from people I'm gonna print out this page and show it to my father and get the final go ahead on some of these changes hehe.

Lots of luck with this.

I like the blue colors
but i dont care to much for the graphics at the top (generic)
and the changing pics seem to take away from what your selling

I'd rather see examples of your work on the top of the page
or bits/close ups of some of the pieces

Also in the "what is" section how about adding some personal pics
of your own hands making the art?

you do beautiful work…

 

[orangetiggs]

i didnt meant to sound so harsh! sorry i just re read it.
My df designs websites so i guess i'm biased to his bright and simple work

Thank you, I cannot take all the credit my mother has been helping get this started and weve got 2 stay at home moms waiting for work once we start getting more sales.

And I am taking new pictures for the banner pictures today.

Good luck to you

and dont just limit yourself to wedding sales
I'm sure there would be a market
for home sign or even baby names
all done up

Your work is very beautiful but I must say I have to agree with the others about the website. The generic images at the top, the mismatched Website name and URL and there's nothing on the main page that shows what this is even about. I do a lot of online shopping and if I find a website to be subpar I don't buy. I hope you can improve it somehow because your work is lovely!
