[addicted2]

Hi,

Just finished building my new designer clothing website addicted2labels and was looking for your opinions on how the site looks and any suggestions on how i could improve it!

Any help and advice would be appreciated as i am new to all this.

Many thanks

First off nice site, you did a good job laying things out and the flash is a nice touch overall.

I am pretty much a rookie when It comes to flash development and looking over your site the only tips I could really offer come from more of a marketing stand point.

The biggest one I thought of and I could be wrong on this is that maybe you have too much flash. The reason I say this is basically SEO from what I've heard the search engine spiders have a hard time deciphering the flash. Meaning it might help to have your actual content and product descriptions in good old html or something similar to make it more spider friendly.

Again I don't know how important it really is but thats my 2 cents


Anyway Nice Site,
Rush

Thanks for the advice.
You are right about the flash, we have now reproduced the text, links and content in HTML tags below the flash version of our site.

We have since seen an increase in SE submission and site traffic and are continuing to market the site as much as we can.

Any further reviews or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Very good, nice layout well thought out. Only thing bad i can say is the banner is a little distracting, making it a little slower and more of a sweeping motion might work. Other than that, very very nice!

Hi, mate,

Nice looking site and good first impression. Learn about validating your code. There are 50+ errors and most easily fixed.

I think it looks great! You did a wonderful job picking out the colors and the Flash is a very nice touch. Also, the navigation is very easy to use with the menus. I'm not really a label person either, but just wanted to tell you that I really liked your site!
