View Full Version : Your opinion?
What do you think about this website?
Blue Cypress (http://www.bluecypress.be/)
Thanks for you feedback.
Here are some points I have to offer.
The site on first view I found to be visually conflicting. The image of Jolgny, France, name of Blue Cypress, and then the very green image of the Cocker Spaniels below all seem like different themes. On a quick view I would not have guessed that you were selling dogs.
I found the font a bit small even for my young eyes. The Menu on the left is hard to read being gray and blends in with the background. If this was bolder, larger and black it may work better.
There are a bunch of grammatical errors on your first page that need fixing.
The very first thing I noticed on entering your site was the fact that my right click was disabled. My question is why? Doing this doesn’t prevent people from stealing your images but instead may actually annoy some viewers. Personally I use the right click gain info on your images. If I wanted to take it I would select it, go to edit hit copy, then paste it wherever.
I found the navigation easy and everything flows well.
In conclusion - I like the site. I think it needs to communicate quality dog breeding a bit better and with a couple simple fixed would succeed quite well.
I hope this helps and good luck.

Looks good, as a whole. Suggestions:
-If the picture of the dogs on the right doesn't fit well. I don't know if it's supposed to be part of the layout, but I'd edit it somehow to make it more 'fitting.'
-Don't put a thumbnail gallery on the frontpage
-Don't bother disabling right-click. I can think of at least three different ways to steal your images if I wanted to. No image is "copy-proof."
-You use a lot of Javascript. I didn't read into it enough to tell what it was doing, but just the amount of it made it seem like some was unnecessary.
-You have 876 XHTML errors on your main page. (validator.w3.org). Actually, many of the errors are entity errors (using & instead of & or = instead of =), and a lot of them are caused by the Javascript being parsed by the XHTML parser, or something. Moving all your JS to external JS files should alleviate the vast majority of your errors.
Thanks a lot for your answers, I'll take most of the ideas into account.

It took a VERY long time for your home page to load on a computer where most things load pretty quickly. I agree with all else that has been said above and I believe that just moving your thumbnail gallery to a page of it's own would solve the slow loading problem. They're lovely dogs, by the way!Best of luck.
