Site Feedback

I'm almost ready to start promoting my screen printing business. I still have to hash a few things out on the home page of the site, the gallery on the front just isn't cooperating properly. There is only supposed to be one large picture of the product show on the home page, but for some reason all the products show when i post them. It's frustrating but I should have that fixed soon hopefully.

Just looking for some feedback from you all.
My goal is to be a screen printer, but also feature some of my own designs for people to buy directly from the site.

What do you think?
Thanks for looking.

You still have a couple of issues with the gallery stuff obviously, but I'll look past that.

I REALLY like the video on the front page. It shows the user how the process works, and who you are. That's a great introduction right there. The talking in the background is a bit annoying, but I can live with it. Actually, it just reaffirms that you're a small one-man business and that the video was done in an everyday situation –*and that's good.

Nice wordpress theme and logo (if you're going for the street-wear market, which I think you are) –*I don't really like the tag cloud in the sidebar, I don't know why I would use it, so you can get rid of that if you want to.

Your navigation needs to indicate the page the user is on. Just a basic ground rule in web design and usability.

The contact form is unnecessarily complicated. Unless you get 200+ e-mails a day from it, there is no need to have the user filter the messages for you. They all end up in your mailbox, right?

I think your site is awesome, and I hope you're successful with your business. Before I saw a CMYK screenprinting video on Youtube the other day, I had no idea how it was done. I still find the process and the craft incredibly fascinating. But unfortunately I don't have space for a workshop at home.

Thanks so much for the valuable feedback!

The navigation bar show this:
"you are here: home > contact" when im on the contact page. It does this for every page except the home page and blog page. Did it not show up on your browser?

Thanks for your input about the tag cloud, I was thinking of at least changing the font to a more street font if I find or make one I like. What would you think about having the cloud then?

I really appreciate all your feedback :)
i like the video idea..maybe add a video printing plastisol...either way smart way to make the sale..if i wasn't a screen printer myself the video would have made me want to do business with you.

A more “street” font would probably just make the tag cloud worse in my opinion. I've looked at the site again, and I think you can keep the tag cloud as it is. It actually helped me discover the contents of your blog, so that's good. It's just a little bit distracting, but it's not catastrophic.

I switched the order of the side bar items so the tags wouldn't be at the top. Thank you Amy for that suggestion!

I am still working on the home pages gallery, I think I might have to find a different wordpress plugin, this one just won't cooperate, lol.

Thanks for all the feedback, let me know if anyone else has anything to add.
You got it! Happy to help. Moving the tag cloud made such a difference!

The site looks good but I was listening to the female's conversation in the background of the video. Is she talking about beating and kicking a dog from 2:40-2:55?
Very distracting....

hmmm... I don't think she is talking about physically kicking a dog, I hope not at least :) But yeah, the video was taken at an open studio event and was getting a little loud. There was some wine flowing, and people were having a good time.

FYI, YouTube gives you the ability to add captions to your video: YouTube - Captions and Subtitles.
