Hi Robyn,

Nice site! I think the colors and style of the home page represent what you sell. Following are a few suggestions:

1) Home page: a)maybe you can add links to the products listed at the bottom left. b)I would add a bit more textual content to this page - explaining a bit what you offer. Include some of your keywords (but don't spam) in this paragraph. c)Your source code contains your css. I would put the css in an external file and link to it like this: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="name of your css file.css">. This line of code would go in the head of the sourcecode and where I have "name of your css file" would have to be changed to the actual file name. d)Maybe it's just me, but I could not find any actual content in your source code (the actual words that are visable on the page). The search engine spiders won't be able to index your site well without having some content to index.

2) Products page: a)I felt the font was a bit large on my 1024 res. monitor - looks very large at 800 x 600. I like the size used on your categories pages (tops, bottoms, etc...). b)This page requires scrolling to the right to view all content - this is typically a no-no as people don't normally think to scroll right. To remedy this, you need to make the overall page sixe about 800 px. so it fits to all screen sizes. c)I would put the "free shipping on $100.00 or more" closer to the top of the page. This is an attraction and should be displayed where people will see it.

3) Overall: a)your background image repeats, which makes it look a bit off kilter. Maybe you can create a larger image that will fit the entire page and have the no-repeat rule included in your css. b)Maybe you can create a photo gallery page and have a link to this page within your navigation. You have some nice photos of models modeling your products.

Just a few tweaks and I think you're off on a great endeavor. Just remember that every page of a website can potentially be a landing page and you need to create every page so it is people and search engine ready. If you want more assistance, please don't hesitate to let us know.
