lovely looking site overall. That flash movie is superb... really gives a sense of quality

I'm not into the font on the links at the top, and the titles. I'd say the font itself doesnt really fit, but also I've always been taught to stay away from anything that isnt the default font set (times new roman etc) - for 'environment independance' i.e. different browsers, os's etc.

Hope that helps

Very nice and simple. Try adding a border at the end of the site on the right so it al doesn't just hang loose there and change the font you are using for headlines and navigation

Nice layout, But i am not keen on templates so sorry to say its a thumbs down from me.....
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/web-design-reviews/79147-please-review.html

You should maybe try going to: http://www.demexdesign.com/

They are fairly expensive, But hey! They are worth it in the long run....

I had a jewellery site around 1 year ago and had exactly the same template, But without the flash header, My website was called goldfornow.com

We was listed in google at rank 3 in sposored links under keywords:
gold,9ct gold,gold shops,online gold

And many more, Not great but we still got traffic and the site i thought was actually great looking was just the same as the site you are using today.....

I was always wondering why people with the same stuff was getting more sales, and all the websites like mine where slacking after many years experiance in online promotion etc....

I found and of course figured that people do not like to keep seeing the same site layout and design everywhere they go, It makes customers feel un confident about the shop (website) As there are so many of the same types.....

maybe go for a uniqiue design it will pay off later on down the line if you are looking to expand.....

But nice try :-)

Hope this Helps.....

Here is a example of another site with the same template: http://www.templater.us

Its not the same content, But its the same script.....

Thank you for your advice sir.

I may try to use a different layout scheme, althought this has been coded and designed from scratch. But thank you for sharing your time and giving an honest advice.

No Problem at all , People who are using these types of sites need to know that these type of sites are only good if you are using them as add-ons to a main site or something like that.....

Good luck in your venture and hope you find the right design and get and get it right!

When you think you have a site that has potentiol to sell products, The real test is "Actually Selling Them"

Could you see yourself selling products from the current website you have?

Once you find the right design people will start to respect you more on the internet, and instead of you asking them for advertising space etc...

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=79147
You will soon see them IM's and PM's Come Rolling in from online freinds from way back...lol

What I mean by this is:
Design is the most important thing and of course content.......

But once you have a online business and your design is perfect then you are set for the rest of the days!

If your design is not great first time, You will definaltly end up chopping and changing....

This can lose you time and of course customers....

Try and Get it Right First Time then you will be well away!

You Know You Have Got it Right!

Good Luck

The flash movie is good though the design of the site is too simple.

Thank you for your review.

Glad that u like flash. I agree about the design. The whole idea was to keep design as simple as possible to make products more prominent and easily visible.

Thank you

Very nice modification of OSC. Ok few things. I think you should center your store, get rid of the shopping bag logo on the upper right. Also the more info button font does not match the add to cart font.
