For the Flash part, I am so much no-designer so if you look at my sites you will see they lack any artistic touches. Your choice for normal user could be as you said better experience in terms of you showing your graphic touches over it.

Price: I am very much happy to read this part [all in accordance with copyright laws (I even have an official letter of consent from the Bank of England approving the images used in our clothing line)]. Many business in Kuwait are run on non-legal basis so to see you taking that care is something I really respect. As to how much time and money is put into creating them, you’ll have to excuse me I just gave my fashion-less taste of comment on it.

Shipping Speed: I thought you want to avoid holidays delay, but since you mentioned it as Business Days, that means 3 business days excluding holidays .

Thanks again for visiting and good luck with ur work.

I really like your blog, especially how you put time and effort into doing your research. Thanks for your support and your honest feedback. I have a few comments on the “Cons” section of your feedback, which I would like to share with you here:

1- Flash sites: As you know, I’m a graphic designer, and i couldn’t settle for an html website. It would’ve looked simple, and would not have been compatible with the quality of my designs and work(Logo, t-shits, rack, etc). I wanted something fun, unique, and fresh. It might not have been as “easy” as an html website, but I think I succeeded in making it user friendly and fun to browse and shop. As for the search engine, I think you have a point there, and I’ll be looking into your suggestions.

2- The price: this is a product that is very high end and a lot of time and effort has gone into designing and producing this clothing line, assuring the highest quality and the use of the best methods available, all in accordance with copyright laws (I even have an official letter of consent from the Bank of England approving the images used in our clothing line). The designs are quite unique and cannot be found anywhere else. The t-shirts are not simple iron-ons onto ready-made t-shirts from “fruit of the loom” or “American Apparel”, they are hand-designed cuts made from scratch. Even the buttons on the clothing are imported and carefully selected. This clothing line is targeting customers who appreciate fashion design and “wearable” art.

3- Return policy: since this is a first-time website, and it is a small business, I didn’t want to expose myself to the risk of online fraud. I plan on expanding the return policy once the site develops and the business grows.

4- Not utilizing the whole screen: 2 reasons, (a) it makes the website load faster, and (b) people with smaller screens will have problems viewing the website, if it were bigger, they would be annoyed with all the scrolling, because my website is designed for 1024 resolutions , people with 800 resolution will get an ugly scroll.

5- Moving your cursor over an item in the cart: You have a good point there, and this has been annoying me too. We thought we had this matter fixed before the launch, but we are still working on it. Good catch.

6- Registration Form: Another good point. I agree, and am looking into implementing your suggestion.

7- Shipping speed in Kuwait: I made it longer on the website to allow for holidays, etc. In actuality, the delivery speed is much faster, and most of the time would be same if ordered in the morning.

Thanks again,
Alia
