Quick website for Christmas

webwrx · 11-14-2010, 04:16 PM

Hi,

I have created site for my wife, she wanted me to created simple site for her handmade christmas products.

I think I have done that:

http://www.madeforchristmas.com/

But I would really like your feedback. Thank you.

Fero.

The site is simple and very timely. It would be better if you add prices for the products or a check out page for quotes.

Hey Fero,
I think the site is really christmas(y)

if that's a word, lol
yeah it's really well done, themed nicely, I would guess it's only short term (maybe even a once-a-year thing) which means there's no real need to throw lots of money at it

spread the word some more, get it noticed, people will like the site, can't say the same for the products, i'm no marketing expert.

A cute website. No comments on the design as it is great and suits the occasion. Only suggestion is to find a better host as the images are taking some time to load (don't reduce the image size, it could reduce the quality).

Attractive little site. I'd suggest adding a "more information" page with details like:

- How much do they cost? Any discount if you order a bunch of them?
- Ship time - if I order one today, when will I get it?
- What "stock" colors/color combos are available? Can you get custom colors or color combinations? Any personalization - can you put my kids' names on them? If so, how much would that cost?
- Maybe a paragraph or two of "human interest" background about how your wife got started making these ornaments... even if it's just something like "I've enjoyed sewing and crafts for x number of years and like to share my creations with others" or "Last year I made a few of these to decorate my home and the next thing I knew all my friends wanted one." It adds a personal touch

The design is excellent.
i think the black border of the image and numbers are extra.
My suggestion is to make the border light, like change the color to grey or something like that or make the border-width 1px.
Any way it is a great design.

Good design, very christmasy, if that is a word..

I would have added some more information, "about us" or something, and as enlytend said, add prices to the pictures.

Good luck!

I would integrate it with Etsy.com to handle the transactions...
My sister uses this for her business she just started. She focuses on clutch purses for weddings. For ideas you can check hers out...

Do you plan to add a shopping cart or is it going to remain purely for window shoppers?

in thename · 11-23-2010, 03:26 AM

Ok, I have to say this is a cool site! I love the presentation and I have to also say the decoration looks like it should really sell! Normally you see sites that come out cheesy when it has to do with Christmas and I see that you have carved a nice niche with these handmade items. It is a good looking site.

MoBoo · 11-26-2010, 05:10 PM

I agree with everyone above. It's a nice site, now it's time to integrate a shopping cart so people can place orders. Esty or Paypal would work well for this. Also you can get a twitter to promote your seasonal products. Posting on craigslist and other places to promote. Facebook too. Those bulbs are so nicely made. I can't believe she made them. Now it's time to sell. I was compelled to buy some but I couldn't.
Great job!

Ferenzcy · 11-30-2010, 12:13 PM

Hi, very good looking site i like the picture enlarge thingy. How do you do that? The decorations also look very good and my wife said she absolutely must have one. How do i buy?

Great job on the website and products
