Hi,

I have had my website launched for about 2 months now and wondered what you all thought about it, I know before anyone says - that I need to optimise the images as my server is rather slow, hence the slow load time, but any opinions are welcome on the design etc, please don`t comment on the time it takes to load up.

The site is : www.charliearchibald.co.uk

Look at it in Firefox; the layout of the main page isn`t correct. Metas and onsite SEO need work. Image alt tags are missing. Not sure I understand the 22 spacer images in the top row.

Nice design, though.

Yep, I was going to post the same thing! Definately needs some tweeking to get it to look right in Firefox. Lots of grey boxes in weird places.

The site is a good start but for a fashion accessory, I think it definitely needs higher quality design.  The illustration you use on the homepage is nice and eye-catching but the woman isn`t using your product.  I also think the illustration is a bit overpowering, visually speaking.

The `chancery` font you are using has a dated look and your typography is weak, in both the Wallots logo and other places.  You just don`t use all-caps with a font like that as you do in the word "SNAP".

The photos on your product page are quite washed out compared to the ones on the homepage.  Since color of your product is a selling feature, I think you should rework those.  I`d make `em bigger too.

Generally, I think you should work with a designer to establish a brand for a product like this.  The fashion market is pretty sophisticated when it comes to design.

I love it.  It really has beautiful elements.

Wallots,

What a fun new product!  I would first decide what imaging you want to use for your product and then stay consistent throughout the whole site.  I really like the graphic with the gal but the attitude she presents is not carried throughout the website.  I feel as if the photo of the product is not meshing well with the graphic.

I also recommend making the homepage a real homepage and the "what is" on seperate pages. 

This looks fun!  I look forward to hearing about your success.  If you need assistance achieving media, please let me know. 

Best,

Jennifer
