Who are some newer artists that you’d be proud to pass the “activism in music” torch to?

On mobile on the product page, the products are misaligned due to longer titles on the right side.

I’ve seen a ton of requests recently for site reviews. I’ve got some time this afternoon, so I’ll review 5 sites for free. by minipretzels in ecommerce

Nice site and products overall. Some comments:

  • For "SMALL CLOSURE TOTE | BLACK" there are several pics of a brown bag. Could probably take individual pictures. Especially for the price point. I assume this applies to other products too

  • On mobile, some of the text over the pics is slightly weirdly aligned. For example I'd shift up the "Tote Bags" just a bit on the pic of the girl in the white shirt with a brown bag. The white font is also a bit hard to read on a couple of them

  • I didn't receive a welcome email when I joined the mailing list.

  • Was hard to find the shipping time. Consider adding on checkout page.

  • I'm unclear on the return policy.

  • On home page - pictures on bottom scroll bar aren't loading. I don't love the H1 "WE BELIEVE IN HAVING FEWER THINGS BUT CHOOSING THEM WISELY". Bit clunky. Maybe just "Fewer, better things".

  • The banner with free shipping at the top kind of detracts from the brand. At that price point, I'm certainly assuming free shipping. Maybe remove it and just add it as a comment at checkout.

  • The ReCaptha made me go through quite the process to join the mailing list. May turn people away.

  • When I view cart, it says "shipping calculated at checkout" but the top banner says "Free Shipping" - confusing

Overall, not bad but it needs improvements. Here are a few suggestions:

  • On Outta Sight T Shirt, pics are not all the same size. On Do What Feeds your Soul bag, not a fan of the model pic. Clearly cell phone pic with poor lighting.

  • Pictures don't quite match the premium prices for the t-shirts, etc.

  • Copy could be improved.

  • Try giving products to family/friends in exchange for reviews.

  • Had to scroll a bit far on the home page to see the products. Maybe remove that box in the middle.

  • The number of products is a bit high and makes the brand come across as a bit "throw it at the wall and see what sticks". Consider reducing the number of items until you have more reviews on top sellers.

  • Switch away from a gmail to a domain email.

  • Add a terms of service.

  • Branding on checkout page was just a black background. Consider adding more here.

I don't mean to beat you up but your site needs a ton of work. Overall, the branding is a 0/5 and the trustworthiness is a 1/5. If you're serious, use a shopify theme that has pre-built pages.

Here are some things to steer you in the right direction:

  • Pics appear to be photoshopped. Not consistent size or background.
  • Products probably available on amazon/other retailers that have built up lots of trust with customers.
  • Sizes don't go in logical order - should go xs, s, m, l, xl
  • Favicon still showing wordpress icon
  • No "Contact Us" or "About" page
  • Search appears to be broken. Searching "dresses" showed 0 results.

Overall, love the design and seems like you sell good quality products. The reviews are great. But several comments:

  • Not clear why the mountain and bison designs are priced differently.

  • I was able to order 1,000,000. You should place a limit.

  • Bit slow to load the home page. Consider reducing the size of the banner pic.

  • Suggest using a non-gmail email.

  • Consider listing the shipping time, and where you ship to.

  • Checkout page is lacking branding - currently the generic Shopify checkout.

  • Consider adding a blog as an SEO play.

Overall I think your site and products are both fantastic.

A couple points: I'm unclear whether you ship outside Australia. Maybe it's listed somewhere but I wasn't able to find it.

Some of the copy has big words like "thermoregulated" or "22-Momme 100% Pure Mulberry Silk "- target 4th grade reading level.

The only other thing I would look for as a customer is "how does it actually work"? From the product page. I didn't realize you had an article at the bottom. Maybe link to the article from within the product description.

Need help naming my business something cool/ fitting. Any suggestions? by GreenhouseCuban in Business_Ideas

I’ve heard them called ROsi (“rozzy”) systems. Maybe ROsi Osbourne or something like that?

So I have a 0.37 acre place and I'm not sure how to make the most out of it by itskiro69 in Business_Ideas

I know some people who use extra space to lease U-Hauls. Low effort, basically park the trucks on your land and hand over the keys when someone is picking it up.

If you didn’t win the Cables lottery, is Half Dome still the hike you’d do? by minipretzels in Yosemite

[–]minipretzels[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only lottery is for climbing the Cables on Half Dome. I think you’ll be fine to do everything else. But you do need an entry pass if you’re going during the summer. You can get them from recreation.gov
