Hi

I'm getting there with the new design and features for my new website, what do you guys thinks?

the links in my profile on right (click my name)

Overall looks good but I would try and add more info at the design stage. I can see this confusing many. For instance, changing colour you need to use the slider. You need to work on the scenario that they know nothing about design. An image showing the template as it would be positioned on the phone would help those without a lack of vision.

Also, the 10% offer for sign up flashed up more than a couple of times which I can see getting annoying. Nice bit of work overall though.

Nice site, but when I chose to design the iphone 5 cover, once I finished it hung.

Not sure if it was simply taking longer than I expected to create, so it might be an idea to have some sort of countdown timer when you are finished the design and then need to click on the next bit.

Overall though, I think it is good and targets consumers well

I am currently working on a colour clicker to be used on the design side, also where the image will automatically go to the back.

If your referring to the newsletter signup that should only popup once as it uses cookies.

Not sure why it hung, this could be few things, your broadband speed, image size etc

not speed, I am on 120 meg virgin line
image was a low res PNG grabbed from the net and was 600k
Am using Firefox

It may have been my patience with the site creating the artwork, hence I suggest a timer of some description to show its working.

Wish I had the knowledge to build a site like yours

Strange never known it to hang, it usually takes around 30 secs to 1 min. Time etc is something I will look in to.

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it

Personally I find the pop up things on websites annoying and tend to close them as soon as they appear without reading them, as psychologically it is blocking the page I am wanting to look at. I may be the only one who acts/thinks in this way

Nope, I am never a fan either. I find them off putting when the that is the first thing you get. It is hard to get a balance between keeping a customer happy and getting sign-ups to a website.

It's lovely, I recently engaged a Cartoon designer to work on my site - I am doing vinyl decals, clothing, mugs etc and not specialising.

I am also having to commission a developer to make me something along the same lines as your 'Designer', I love how clean it is and works smoothly for me (Although I didn't test it to extremes).

The only downside is that 10% off that hangs around - it does look good, but would annoy me.

Well done though, it's lovely.
