BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Jewelry Making Suggestions on Jewelry Retail Website

I am a jewelry designer and just started a website - Loopymonkey.com - to sell my bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. I would love to get your feedback on the site - content and layout. I encourage everyone to visit!

One quick suggestion. When you want to have a "thumbnail" (smaller version) of a larger image, you should have two versions of the file. One small, one large. The way you have it right now, the browser is simply resizing the larger image. This results in much longer page loading times (because the size of the image files is too large) and causes the images to look pixelated.

When you specify an image to be 100 x 200 pixels on your webpage, the image should be 100 x 200 pixels (72 dpi). Don't use an image that is 250 x 500 pixels.

I like your website and the way that it is arranged. You have your ads (Google) where they don't intefere with your products. I like white backgrounds for jewelry, but I guess my only criticism might be that you do need a bit more colour, maybe on the top by your monkey logo. I think that it's a bit stark. Sorry I don't have suggestions to offer other than that except maybe the name of your website could be done in rather "loopy" script?
Your necklaces especially are gorgeous! Oh, and I love the names - I think that's important.
Good Luck!

Hi I ran your website through a keyword analysis tool and found that most of your top keywords have a keyword weighting less than 4% (should be 4%-7%). I saw one of your keywords is jewelry (one word keyword). This is a tough keyword to compete with - compition is listed at 271,000,000 websites using that one word term. Try to use more targeted 2 and 3 word phrases. I really like the overall look of the site.

Hope This Helps...

Very insightful. Could you check my page and give me some pointers as well? www.galleriapangea.com THanks!

Hi,
I'd suggest to enhance items descriptions and include the materials used. Is it Sterling Silver, base metal, what kind of beads do you use...? The visitor should be able to evaluate your offer right away.
Good luck!
