I like your use of kiwi green. Looks like you guys are having fun. Navigation was fine, as was the shopping cart.

A cool nice clean layout. Create a 301 redirect for www. united-five.com to united-five.com .

When you first come to the site the navigation is on the top, when browsing through the site the navigation is to the right, I believe the contact page has no navigation. Add the navigation in the same area consistently throughout the site and the site would be perfect.

VERY nice. It is simple, clean and effective. If I were a customer who found your site, I would've presumed a "professional" was hired who did the website. Kudos.

Hi. You have a nice clean layout to your site, but the pages seem to take a long time to load up.

There are two things you need to look at on your site. Your tees need a size chart by them. What might be in XL in one brand of tee, might be smaller or bigger in another brand. What you don't want, is people returning their tees wanting to change the sizes. Put the chest sizes there and you'll eliminate that problem. Other thing you need to do is state the type of garment decoration. Am I buying screen print, digital, transfer or vinyl? Some buyers like to know those things.

Bit of tweaking needed here and there, but you are getting there.

Hope this helps.

Implementing 301 re-direction will help you in SEO. Search engines like Google consider www.domain.com and domain.com as two different Web sites. Infact it is. Hence, it is better to create a 301 re-direction.

Great Job for never doing a website. It is easy to navigate which is very important.

Wish you the best

i feel like your naviagtion needs some work.. I first come to your store and i see a big imageand some thumbnails, then when i click on one i think i might like, it brings up a nice product info page, but then what if i wanted to get back to the page that i was on with the thumbnails and large image

The ALL | TEES links are not very obvious. They are there, but need to pop more to make your navigation work.. AND all and tees both link to the same products.

Are you going to have something other than tees? or women's too? you will need a better navigation system/

I love that your large image that shows when you click to enlarge is HUGE> that is what i always want to see when looking a shirts, a nice big, detailed image.. The lightbox effect looks good too

Just a question, is this a Big Cartel Site?
