Thread: discounted greeting cards

Hi All

I have recently launched my greeting card website and would love soem feedback on it...
Fab Cards

Also can anyone suggest good ways of advertising..budget is tight at present

Thanks
Grainne

Google AdWords or an affiliate program would be a good way to start. Nice cards !

I'll assume no budget ...

Set up a blog on there

Look into some mod rewrite stuff for oscommerce (changing the nasty url structure you've got in place around) ... I ran into major difficulty getting it up and running on another site I was doing using oscommerce

Signatures on here .. and on boards.ie

(don't get too spammy but it'll help)

and so on ...

Get rid of the English flag on there for language options ... you're not giving irish as an alternative .. so get rid of it

Just a few thoughts ..

your own designs btw or ?

Your images are pretty poor - The header and footer gifs in particular. Apart from that - Its a recoloured oscommerce default theme, so you can't really go wrong. Though I would make the changes that Forbairt mentions.

what do you mean when you say rewrite stuff for the urls?

Hi,

You have a great range of cards and the prices seem very attractive however I think there are some slight aesthetic issues on the front page of your site.

Firstly its a big no no to have times new roman on your logo... If you dont have time to do a good logo at the moment even use the same one and chage the font as a temporary measure. Also the quality of your logo is not good you can see the outline of picture and text. You also use times new roman size 12 on some of the pages, again try another font.

Trying using some animated giffs on your front page, you have a great selection of cards so you should not have problem finding some good ones to use.

As mentioned by others previously get rid of the union jack there if you are not offering other languages, it looks unprofessional.

Are you using a secure server for payments. If your not you should be as people wont use your site for this reason alone. If you are indicate this on your site.

Hope this was helpfull.

Really ?

Don't actually think I've ever heard that before ...



Doesn't look too bad to me ? and only uses Times New Roman
