Hi there. Here's my 2 cents' worth as far as the looks... I think your site is VERY functional and easy to use, however, the aesthetic looks circa 1995. White space and clean navigation is in. And, a left hand navigation bar would be fantastic for the user... categorized with primary categories, then as you mouse over, sub categories (i.e. Tables/Coffee Tables, or Living Room/Coffee Tables. These types of nav bars are fairly easy to create in Macromedia Fireworks. See http://www.furniture.com for an example of what I'm talking about. |

i was going through ur website as i am a web designer i found there are many areas which are left uncomplete like the Product.htm should have some pictures related to products and at the bottom where it is written "We are the leading handicrafts manufacturer, Based .........." it should be in bright color bcose the background color and the text color are very dark and the text cannot be read properly..... keep consistency in ur website like the BAR at the top which has links like HOME | PRODUCTS RANGE |ENQUIRY FORM | ...... is in some pale yellow color whereas the bar at the bottom of the products.htm is in black color... i would say the website has got a good sober look but many things r to be worked out to make a complete website.....as of now this much would be enough i will come back, plz let me know if u like the comments or not ....... BYE |

My two cents as a web writer--your text is hard to read, as it has some grammatical errors and also some jargon. For example, here's the first sentence on your homepage: "A manufacturing company from jodhpur,India involved in manufacturing of various kind of handicrafts & wrought iron furniture." Here are some of the errors in that sentence: the word "Jodhpur" should be capitalized, there should be a comma after "India," the word "kinds" needs an "s," and the sentence is a fragment (it has no main verb). You also use the word "manufacturing" twice: you write, "a manufacturing company. . . involved in manufacturing," which is redundant. Here's a more effective rewrite: "Our firm, located in Jodhpur, India, manufactures a wide variety of handicrafts and wrought-iron furniture." Another problem with the text on your site is that you talk a lot about features and very little about benefits. There's an old axiom in the ad writing industry: "Don't tell the reader about your grass seed. . . tell him about his lawn." In other words, you talk a lot about the fancy qualities of your product, but you don't tell us about how they help the buyer. When you write, "The company has its own kilns for seasoning and pressurized chemical chambers for treating wood," your reader has no idea why he or she should be impressed. My advice for you would be to find a) a copywriter or b) an English major to rewrite the site. A copywriter would be best but more expensive (several hundred dollars). But, if nothing else, get a good writer to go over your website and fix all the grammar mistakes. |

You need to reDESIGN your web site. I hope you understand DESIGN. your website is just html codes and nothing else. No impressive images, no colour matching, no theme, nothing. the site is very simple. looking at your product you should have a designer site, with that wooden touch and polished effect. if you think i'm right, call me at 9825291712 (ahmedabad), i might be able to help you more. |

Hi I agree with alot of the comments on here. But ... 1. Loose the Google Ads & Banners. 2. Work on the colors and layout, should be more natural colors. Light text on a dark background is never a good idea. 3. Sort out the grammer. 4. Get professional help. cheers Len www.lazortech.com |

As a website designer (http://www.webechodesigns.com) i believe there are many areeas of this website that could be dramatically improved: What are you selling? At the moment your website looks like an advert for anyone else except you! Google ads can be handy, but do NOT give them precidence over YOUR product! You wouldn't advertise the furniture store down the road on your shops front window - would you? It needs tidying up! Example - On your products page http://www.woodenfurniture.net/new%20collection/antique-range-wooden-bookshelf.html The bottom navigation appears through the images Design & colour The current website really doesn't 'reflect' your products (IMO) - wood is a 'warm' material but your website uses a 'cold' bluey colour. Layout - get some space between the edge of the screen and the text, trying to read text that starts right at the edge of the browser is annoying. Navigation Instead of product range why not use new designs wooden furniture iron furniture exclusive furniture Allow visitors to go directly to the area they are interested in Content On your front page - feature 1 picture and some text with a heading about each type of product with a link to the relevant category As well as making it easier for visitors to navigate, the linked headings will be 'rated' by Search Engines making you more visible for these keywords. These are just a few very basic suggestions, if you are interested in more thorough advice, please visit my website http://www.webechodesigns.com and contact me personally Webecho |
