Would you shop here? (horsie stuff?)?

Question

I'd like opinions and critique on my website. I know there's nothing on the online store yet - I have only just done the website in the past few hours so haven't had time yet!

Any opinions gratefully received (and why not sign the guestbook!!)

http://www.freewebs.com/pets-and-ponies/

I'd just like to know if YOU would buy from here, and if not, why not. Thanks :-)

Answer 1

i think i would.

Answer 2

It looks really good!! My only suggestion is to make sure to categorize your products and if possible, include a search feature. I hate having to look through a bunch of stuff to find the thing I want.  (I know you haven't listed any products yet, just a suggestion for when you do:)) But it all-in-all looks great! And I would buy from you as long as the price is right :) Good luck with your business!!

Answer 3

Put some pics of ponies and horses!  good start!! :)  Are you really going to start selling products on the website?  

Answer 4

I would say No.

1. the layout doesn't appeal to me and doesn't look professional, It is to much kiddish for me. I would suggest getting a different layout, I can get you one if your interested send me a message.

But otherwise if it had a more professional looking skin i would buy.

Answer 5

Yeah, I would. If I lived in the local area, and saw the site advertised, for example at a local show or something, then I would definitely have a look and more than likely purchase if prices were reasonable. I'd much rather support local business than the nationwide powers!

Good luck ;-)

Answer 6

I might, it really depends on what your prices are and what stuff your selling.

The layout is kinda random too, but I hope it works out.

Answer 7

yeh i think so. depends on the price though. especialy when yo first start out, you gotta make sure your price is very low, if not the lowest

Answer 8

no, i would not

Answer 9

for my cat or dog I may but not for my horse.  I find the site is fun but it isn't professionally appealing.  I'd be hesitant to purchase first time because it isn't professional.  Because I am more of a horse person than a small pet person I take my horse activities seriously.  But the sight might appeal to the non-professionals in the horse world.

Answer 10

Absolutley! I think this site is very tastefully done - very welcoming and nicely done.  I like the layout, the colors and the set up.  Easy to navigate and easy to follow.  Its AWESOME :) Well done! I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 11

I might buy from you if I saw and advertisment somewhere.  I would try and buy a web address instead of using freewebs.com as the base. Freewebs offers web addresses for sale of a few dollars a month.  Instead, it could be pets-and-ponies.com or something. If you are serious about this business, it would  help with business and attract more people without the freewebs prefix.  Good luck and I hope you get lots of business

Answer 12

Well I live in California...but i signed the quest book...I want a doggie coat! I have a rottweiler lol

Answer 13

I wouldn't.  It does not look professional and it does not sound professional.  It is hosted on freewebs...If you aren't willing to spend money I would be hesitant about buying your products that cost money to make or buy because I would be afraid that they were cheap.  It is also an internet store...meaning that I would probably have to give you my credit card number.  I would not trust a freewebs site with my number ever.  I also think you are advertising to the wrong crowd.  People who buy horse things generally buy nice things - and I am not saying what you are going to sell isn't nice - from professional people.  They want the best for their horses because a horse will need to perform its best with whatever type of tack it has on.  

Answer 14

Yes, and no. Try a different font, and maybe try changing the background to something with a horse, and dog.  

Answer 15

im not sure to be honest.  im sometimes put off by that sort of writing.  just being honest

mayeb if you had some badges on the front page to say youre a trusted website or something, that might help
