I think the web site looks great.

on the home page, did you mean Reality instead of Realilty ?

for SEO, I would change the page titles to start with "Hats" to match what people would type into google.

I hope that helps

regards

Tom

Clean tidy, obvious what it's about, plenty of product pics, and backed up with testimonials.

Ref the page titles, home page seems good, but as these are SEO gold dust, maybe use different keywords in each page title. Home and about us is displaying the same title.

Great looking site though, even if I didn't know what a fascinator was until today!

Sometimes the software puts the site name to the front of the title. But if you can change it, fascinators needs to be at the front, assuming thats your keyword of course. But whichever it is, the main keyword should ideally be first in the title tag. I also cant see any hats on the site (though only had a quick glance) so if you only sell fascinators, lose the hats and alternative bridal wear and use 2-3 good fascinator-related keywords.

Nice, clean, tidy site on first glance. I like the personal touch of all the photos of people wearing your fascinators.

I think the work that you do looks complicated but the results are beautiful products. The website is simple, professional and has enough info...in my opinion. And I also learned what a fascinator is

I would have to agree with the rest here...I genuinely like it. Clean design, the design and use of colour feels right for your type of business.

Although it's not related to design, I would consider replacing the mobile with a landline...will give a more professional feel.

As Amphis points out, "realilty" on the home page needs to be changed.

Couple of typos in the About Us page - Royal Mail needs a capital M, "hygeine" has the E and the I the wrong way around and should be "hygiene", and in the phrase "made to the customers specific requirements" the word "customers" in this instance is plural possessive and should have an apostrophe after the S.

Another abused apostrophe on the Our Work page and repeated on the Shop page - on the right, there is a header "Ladies Day's" and that apostrophe needs to be removed.

Testimonials formatting: on the lower part of the page you seem to alternate between bold and normal font for your testimonials, but at the top of the page the first five testimonials in a row are all in bold font. This makes the sudden appearance of the normal font ones seem jarring to the eye.

But as I'm sure you know, this is just nit-pickery and I wouldn't even say anything if it wasn't such a good site to start off with. We're not talking about making a bad site better, we're talking about making a great site perfect. You have an eye for design, and if it wasn't for the fact that my budget range is more Claire's Accessories than bespoke artwork I would even now be calling you about my wedding.

I arrived on the site & glanced over it quickly, not really reading the content - as i customer i wanted to buy your product so went to click on the Order Now tab but its not a link to the page - only then did i see the much smaller link below.

My 2 pennies - id make the order now & latest designs links directly to the relevant pages

Maybe you can change your layout in your testimonial page. But everything in your site is good, you know, its simple, clean and easy to navigate.
