So I'm planning on going live in the next week or so once I add the product pics. Can you guys poke around the site and let me know if theres anything missing? thanks

Looks good so far. I like the idea as well...especially if you only grab the very best unseen shirts. People get lost on the large sites.

From a design perspective -- looks good

If you want to earn the trust of your site viewers and turn them into buyers, you should include your address and your telephone number. Plus you should include all you shipping prices in a spot where viewers can see that. People want to know what their total cost will be when they purchase a shirt.

Alot of people hide the shipping cost from the viewers, but you should be upfront with it so people can decide quicker if they want to purchase or not.

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing just a flat $5 shipping to anywhere in the continental US. That way, the customer knows what the shipping will be no matter where they are. It just gets a little weird when you talk international shipping.

Nice look and feel. There's a spelling error or two in the FAQs ("Los Angeles").

 

[shirtstain]

Ok, I've fixed some things. Can everyone run through it again and make any suggestions?

 

[honeyflip]

Hmm... I would vote for not including the bit about just opening the store. Customers don't need to know that, and it communicates lack of experience.

Great point.

Good stuff. I feel so "inadequate" with my OS Commerce store LOL

Nice designs. What printing method are you/will you be using?

 

[shirtstain]

These will be screenprinted on the American Apparel t-shirts. Just got them ordered today so as soon as I get the credit card merchant situation straightened out, I'll be good to launch this on Thursday or Friday.

I really should have realised that since the other link in your .sig is for a screenprinter I also now see that it is in your faq, I must have just skimmed over it (I was looking for a how are they printed question rather than it being in the what are they printed on).

Love the designs man, great artwork. Day of the Tentacle...man that game rocked, not sure if you're referencing it or not.

Overall I think it's great. Good presentation, and good designs.

I'm not going to claim that I did any of the art. I didn't. These are all from talented artists spread across the world. I just paid them for the print rights and hopefully can sell some cool t-shirts. More to come in the very near future!

Many site owners don't do their own artwork like threadless and oddica. But it's good you know a good design when you see one. That will do nothing but help.

Nice job! Looks like you're going in a very nice direction, design wise.
