		<description>Landing page looks very cramped. Needs more white space.

Also the alignment is over to the left of the screen which looks
unbalanced, even on a normal laptop device.

In the catalog the fields (e.g. quantity) should line up horizontally so
it looks more like a grid.

Needs a professional logo.

Some of the header navigation elements &quot;wrap&quot; to the next page (at least on Snow Leopard OS).

You would get more conversions with more prominent &quot;BUY&quot; buttons.</description>

		<description>Not a good idea to have a large Flash banner at the top of the landing page.
Flash is not supported on iOS devices like iPad. Those visitors wont see anything.

Dont really like the colors employed.
Black and orange aren&#039;t a comfortable combination.
The textured background looks a bit old school too.

Presumably you are targeting some geographic area (Texas?) but there is nothing SEO wise that would give that hint to search engines.

Speaking of SEO, the html &quot;keywords&quot; meta tag contains a HUGE list of tags. Just fyi, search engines ignore that meta tag so it doesnt really achieve anything other than perhaps slow you page down a little.

Good point.
- Liked the video montage content. You should look at ways to leverage this on the site to get better visitor conversions.</description>

		<description>A bit too much information on the landing page and needs better organization of content. Most people don&#039;t read content on the web. They skim. So reduce the information a smaller list of bullet points where possible with links for those who want to see info in more detail.

Pink is a soft, playful color so I&#039;m not sure it is really appropriate for a site that is targeted at such a serious issue.

The top navigation looks rather old school.

Auto-play on videos is never a good idea. You should change it so
that visitors aren&#039;t abruptly hit with sound when they visit.

All the best with your endeavors!</description>

		<description>Try to avoid using the big Flash banner at the top of the landing page.
 iOS devices like iPads dont support Flash so anybody visiting your site on one of those pieces of hardware will just see an empty space.

Dont really like the &quot;mystery meat&quot; navigation in the top right.
I didnt know what those icons meant until I hovered them with a mouse.
Again, this wont work on an iPad since there is no &quot;hover&quot; mode on a touch screen.

Needs a professional logo in the header for branding purposes.

Good point:

- Footer region looks good. 
- Nice images.</description>

		<description>The fonts and colors could be improved.
 Black text on a blue background is incredibly hard to read.

 The site needs a more professional logo and more compelling header
 banner.
 The bright blue seems a bit harsh. A softer tone would be more comfortable.

 Good points:
 - Nice large images for visitors.
- Good idea to show the PayPal trust badges.</description>

		<description>Looks like the site has been adapted from an &quot;off the shelf&quot; template.
 Design doesn&#039;t really match the purpose of the site i.e. It has an artistic feel whereas something more &quot;playful&quot; would be more appropriate.

Other points:

- The sidebar is bare. Need some content in here or remove it.
- Header needs to be replaced. Should invest in a professional quality logo.
- The written content on the Welcome page isn&#039;t compelling. Perhaps needs some help from a professional content writer to increase conversions.
- Onpage SEO needs some work. Not enough keywords or geo-specific targeting in use.

Good points:
- Not cramped. Site makes good use of white space.
- Good images used in the catalog.</description>

		<description>I like the fresh color scheme of the site.

The thing that detracts most of all though is the right sidebar.
More work needs to go into setting fonts and margins in that area.
I would probably get rid of the green arrow thing. Not sure what it is trying to indicate there.

The scrolling Amazon widget is quite distracting too. I realize that everyone needs to monetize their website but look for ways to do it that don&#039;t annoy your visitors. Maybe look at using a Wordpress random image widget that servers up static Amazon ads instead.</description>

		<description>The ticker &quot;Invite your friends and earn bonus. Clicker for taking your referral link&quot; sounds very confusing. I assume it has something to do with an affiliate program but it could be expressed much more clearly.

Colors, fonts and overall design is not bad.

I&#039;d suggest investing in a better logo though.

Novel idea so best wishes.</description>
