I've only looked at the home page but here are a few suggestions:

  • Lose the spinning football logo - it's distracting.
  • Shorten the intro to one paragraph or remove it. I want to see your products above the fold.
  • Give the product link text some style that lets me easily know they are links. At the moment the links to categories stand out way more than the product links.

my 2 cents are:

Positive:
- fast loading
- relatively clear layout
- navigation is good

Changes I would make
- clean up your source code in the head
- shrink the height of your header i.e. reduce vertical white space
- enlarge the images of your product
- better quality images of your products
- tone down the red header above each product, it's not letting the images communicate with the user

Thanks for your positive commets

clean up source code in head <can you tell me whats up with it i dont know you mean>

i will reduce the space for the header

but i will look into this

i will tone dowm the header

Thanks very much for all your comments

Hi,

aside from the design, how about adding some humour or some content?
You can ignore this if you are selling loads and getting loads of hits. For quote some funny stories about obsessive sports fans and the lengths they go to support their teams, profile some mad for it fans, maybe add a blog. It might help with seo and be more sticky than just a line up of products.

Hi,

I think it's a great website. It looks really good, professional, fast loading, gives you what you want within seconds.

My only comment would be that with a website title as sporting desires I would prefer to see things relating to other sports rather than just football and rugby. I realise I prefer sports such as equestrian and tennis, and i realise that I'm in the minority, but I'd have loved it if you'd had merchandies relating to these sports as well.

Hello thanks for your reply

Our plan is to expand into all sports it just takes time and resources
I have spent way too long on the website lol

my aim is to build the site over next few years and have sections for all sports I even have them all set in categories just need the products

we also want to create a community for sporting fans with prize draws, polls and forum,

well that's the aim am looking a lot more positive these days lol

Hi,

Just review your site. Its good but some points want to mention.

1) I feel dizzy when I saw the spining ball.

2) Some images are blurry. The one is here:Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Official Home Mini Kit

According to me, a good image can attract buyers more, than a blurry one (lol).

3) I noticed that your site footer is very simple, I think you can do something. Why don't you ad the header strip (red strip) for your footer, I think this will give a good look to your site.

I hope I pointed out some useful points. Well, site is good.

It's easy to navigate, and the products are well displayed although I agree about the fuzzy photos.

The white space at the top is just crying out for a banner with more impact. Something like a SWF banner that rotates from a football piccie to tennis to rugby etc for example, easy to incorporate into the design and would really add to impact.
