Hi, I just wanted to get some of your opinions as to what my site looks like. Its very simple, but is it too simple? Any suggestions and feedback are appreciated. The site is Gp32z.com

Layout is good, simple. On the home page i would suggest you display some product images.

I like your colors and layout - very clean looking - simple is best! Mmmmmm... maybe it's me, but looking at your homepage, I can't tell what it is you're selling, i.e., what business you are in.

I'm going to agree with the previous two posts. You may consider reducing the amount of text. The text is informative, which is great. You might consider breaking it up with an image or two. When I look at the page, you want my eyes going to something that will inspire me to buy. People love to look at pictures too.

Based on what you are selling, think of your target audience: probably males under 30. They REALLY like pictures.

Hopefully that helps! Good luck.

I don't like the idea that the FedEx logo and the other ones are bigger than your actual company logo worry.gif

it gives the impression that the website is a FedEx website.

I took myself the liberty to fire up my Photoshop and I did this:

reduce the size of the fedex and paypal logos and increase tthe size of company logo, i used the same colors i saw on your page. this is just a draft and i hope it gives you some ideas.

Good Luck

Im in agreement with all the posts too...Senior--looks great!
I would suggest changing the category link text to bold and perhaps adding some margin spacing on the left of the text so it doesnt hug the right quite as much. Id also suggest (as ebeadstore said) adding some product pix to the home page...I think it's critical to driving conversions.
Good luck with your site.

Thanks for all the feedback, I touched up on a few things, let me know why you think of it now. I think under the 'Browse Category' section the text is too small but I don't know how to make it larger. Can anyone guide me?

My Opinion:

Site looks better, I would emphasize the size of the logo... a bit bigger, and I took a snapshot of your site and changed the Background color from Grey to Black... I think it looks better with black in the back.

Also I would add about 2 blank spaces before every link on your categories, it is too close to the left margin, looks amateur, I would add at least 2 spaces.

ie: FROM

To change fonts sizes:

Site HTML> Left Column HTML Editor

then use the WYSWYG interface and increase the font size.
