Re: Shadow Domain… here’s my comments for what they’re worth…
- Offer something for free, even if it’s only a picture for the kids to colour in – perhaps hide it on one of the pages to make me look through the site. Change it regularly. Or include a humour page where visitors could contribute appropriate jokes.
- Navigation is a royal pain – having to go back to the main page to then get to the next set of products is really off-putting. How about some links from one product page to the next/previous?
- It would help if some of the pages had a few more products on them or were combined together. Some pages look like the empty shelves of a shop on the verge of bankruptcy.
- There’s too much stuff on the main page – message board, survey, counters, guestbook etc etc – much of this should be on another page – perhaps called “community” or something. At the moment the start
page is just too messy – like an over-decorated Christmas Tree. Keep it simple. - Can you “add to shopping basket” between pages? (I didn’t dare try in case I ended up buying something!)
- What is that picture at the top of the main page all about? – looks like an amateur snapshot of a dead bat (or was that the intention?). Remove or replace!
- I’m not usually a great fan of over-animated websites but this one is crying out for something like swooping bats and howling wolves when you first arrive.
