Hi SuN pals,

Hello! Yup. All SuN pros please help me vet my website. Thanks alot!

Our Biz: Our business focused on reselling beach wear to our local market through our online boutique store. Our whole idea is to sell imported brand of beach wear all over the globe. Initially, we are starting off selling a series of brazilian bikinis founded on SuN! *CLAP*

Do check out their site - www.brazilian-bikinis.net

Buyers should be able to source our product information through the website and purchase it on the web straightaway if they want. On the other hand, we would also promote our merchants outside the world wide web. My goal is to attain a simple and easy to understand yet a unique branding of our Boutique through out Website.

Currently the website is still under contruction as the "catalogue" page is not done yet. We hired a freelance web designer to do up this website. There are still some ammendments needed to improve the site.

Our online Boutique: www.maregebikini.com

1) Don`t brag that you`re a home-based business on your website.  That`s the advantage of the web - you can look bigger than you are and give the perception of stability to your customer.

2) What is the smaller image on the front page?  It should be another model wearing a different bikini or at least a beach scene.

3) You need a better title than "Index-2".

4) Catalog page - no images!

5) Why Us page - Same images as the front page.  Do something different here.

6) How to Purchase page - Same photos again.  And your purchase methods are confusing.  At least provide a form for the buyer to send the information to you.  You said that you`re trying to get PayPal on your site, what is the problem?  If you have a PayPal account, you should be able to use the PayPal shopping cart.

7) Media page - broken or incomplete?  All I see is "For,".  And the same image as the front page.

8) Contact page - Same photo again...

I wouldn`t buy anything in your store just because you don`t have a sufficient trust level. You don`t have your physical address on the site. Is this some kind of a scam?

And your payments methods are simply unacceptable for an on-line store. Payment by phone? By sms? Are you serious? I would only pay by my credit card so if you can`t screw me and I can always dispute the charge.

Seriously, you`re not serious e-commerce ready.

MUCH better.  The only suggestion I would make this time around is that you explain the PayPal purchases a little better.  Something like:

"We use the PayPal Shopping Cart, but you can pay by Credit Card through PayPal without a PayPal account, or [list your other methods here].

Other than that, I like the changes you made.
