hey thanks..bigcartel site...and what do you mean by blurry..like how blurry..seems to look fine on my end..which browser are you using.
and thanks you
and thanks you
Looks a little blurry to me as well. Used internet explorer & Chrome. I don't have Firefox on the computer I am using now.
I think the photo had a soften filter which does make it appear blurry. I think it looks good so far on the site. Here's my question... What is 1581? I realize I'm probably an idiot but why would people WANT a shirt that said 1581 in various forms? I'm not being critical and have no idea how things like that get started but looked in the about us and figured it would be explained. Your one saying was explained but no 1581. Like I say... I'm not much on the creative fashion end. I didn't try to go see if I could buy something because I'm just checking my unviewed posts and thought I would check it out.

its is the mix of area codes where i am from and where i now reside. thanks all for your input..can someone take a screen shot and show me how blurry it looks because when i look at it it does not seem blurry to me.
thanks!
Your "About Us" page has spelling errors. Have some one else proofread it if you don't see them.
Thanks i will have to go through that again.Your "About Us" page has spelling errors. Have some one else proofread it if you don't see them.
sorry man i never got an email saying i got a new post to here..but its is a combination or are codes where i am from and where i now live..i could not really find a great way to explain that in the about me(which i am still kind of working on) but thanks all for your inputWhat does 1581 mean?
I like the site design, its simple but fresh and clean and looks trust worthy.
What Id like is better photos, these look kinda grayish (look up a guide on how to set white balance) and you can tell you prolly took them at home with an ordinary digital camera. Maybe you have a friend whos photografer and have access to a studio to snap some fast and neat photos?
We usually release stuff once every two weeks so to be able to do that without contacting a photografer every time we purchased a system camera, use a white painted room as studio and take all photos oureself. Even tho we're amateurs they look decent enough to be taken for studio photos (atleast thats what we've heard). So thats another way if you know you'll be releasing alot of stuff in the future, a camera is always a good investment when building a clothing brand imo.

cool site...your pic is blurry on your web page compared to your FB page..no biggie ..reminds me i need to step up my game on my site..LOL
Which is your targeted place for business? What to run as area business or online business? If you thinking is towards online business then site is not well !! Not teasing !! Ok! You must have to make an eye catching site with paypal integration etc like e-commerce site. By making a professional site you'll get more customers as you deserve.Hey all ive been on this forum for quite a while but finally joined not to long back just trying to gain all the knowledge i can from here. would like you guys to all critique my website and tell me what you think.

Your image is stretched. The real image is 498 x 224 pixels. You have it stretched to 890 x 400. You need to either change it to the correct values or upload a bigger photo. Do not use width/height tags in HTML to stretch a photo like that, it makes it "blurry" like everyone is complaining about.
I used to have to use Frontpage at work and if you edited a photo it would not update the width/height tags under your img src element. Drove me nuts.

ok cool thanks..i wonder why the original is so small when i had a huge photo and downsized it in photoshop to 890x400..maybe its the way i have my image linkedYour image is stretched.

I think you are off to a GREAT start. Key word....start. I would spend some time seeing what the market is producing in regards to clothing sites that may be a competitor of yours. If you want to swim with the big dawgs.....you need to wear the same trunks.
I will also tell you - having owned several online stores - that small amounts of products don't produce many results. For some odd reason people want more choices in order to pull the trigger. It's kinda like when you see a garage sale and they don't have much out there....you keep driving. If they have tons of stuff, you park and shop.
Work on the designs. They didn't do much for me...but I am over 40!!! Golden rule of success in the clothing industry, get your product on the backs of the youth. Even if you have to comp 100 shirts! Drive by bus stops in the morning and start handing them out. People won't buy your story, they will buy what the cool kids are wearing. The story behind it is just gravy.
It takes money to make money and comped shirts are just part of the plan. Apple used to basically GIVE computers to schools when it first came out.
Remember if you want to be big....imagine yourself big, visualize big, and do what big people do!
Best of luck!!
