Yup, but there's been plenty of constructive criticism from a lot of people (from a few posts), whole idea is to help and assist, not just pick holes and be mean for no reason.

People put their site up for review and ask their business peers for feedback. But feedback is a 2 way street, and sometimes you may not get the response you expect, but if it helps you launch a more professional and functional site, surely thats better?

You're website is far from finished. As far as I can see you are wasting kind people's valuable time by posting here. You have not even bothered to complete the 'About' your business page. As a potential customer, I would not purchase products from your website.

I really think you ought to re-think your website designer... I think Kip's your man!
If anyone feels their time will be wasted they can simply not respond to a post.... easy peasy

I know green signifies to aloe vera that's why your background color is green but to be honest, it really looks so off or bad. Maybe you could just made it all white. And one more thing, your fonts are really small, people can hardly read it so if you want your visitors or potential customer to stay in your site you have to make your article readable.

...I'll throw my feedback in...like some of the others have said...it can sometimes be false economy doing your own site.

That green background is painful to the eye. I assume the green relates to Aloe. On first impressions, when I land, I don't get the feeling it's a shop. I am probably your typical customer, who is always in a hurry, and won't read all the text properly, so I would move the featured items up the page, so it's one of the first things people see. At the moment you have to scroll down. The menu is also not user friendly. I had to scroll quite a bit down to find the contact us page. I could go...but I am sure you already know that there is a lot of work that needs doing.

If this is going to be serious, either become an expert in website design or pay someone to do it.

This is getting nowhere as you are not making any progress. No amount of what is said here is going to make you end up with a professional looking website if you are doing it yourself.

Here are some constructive comments in no particular order

1. The bright green background is a little too much - Try using Adobe Kuler to select a nice shade of green and other colours that compliment it.

2. There is no obvious main navigation on the site - This is a must as it makes your site easier to use. A good place for this would be under your logo at the top of the page.

3. Categories section on the LHS - You need to make the heading for this section larger and try to use colours that contrast more than light gray and white. Try to make this section taller as well.

4. Move the information section at the LHS to the bottom on the page as a footer.

5. No need to have two breadcrumb trails to let the site visitor know where they are on your site.

6. H1 header need to be at the top part of your main content section - will help with SEO.

7. Remove the Chat Now floating pop-up

8. Pay more attention to the size of the text on your site. It gets larger and smaller depending on the page. Try to keep consistent sizes for your sections across the site.

9. Improve your Buy Now buttons as they just look like text until you hover over them. Also consider have a quantity textbox so it is easier to order more than one.

10. Move the four changing images from the top of your page. Move them elsewhere on the page and have a basket/cart icon here along number of items in your basket. Easy for users to go there to check out or update it.

I hope this helps and gives you something to think about
