What do you think of my website?

[fisicx]

Look at the site on your phone. It looks awful.

I say again, get rid of the backgrounds, fix the broken fonts and use product variants.

I know you've come in for some harsh criticism here about your website but I too am struggling with it. It just doesn't work for me.

I spend a huge amount of my time working on conversions on ecommerce websites and this would give me a headache.

It doesn't follow norms. Although you are trying to do something different, people are used to shopping in ways they are familiar with. We are creatures of habit. When something is quite different, it can severely impact conversions.

I think a cleaner, clearer most standard layout would be better. You can differentiate yourself from a branding, service, pricing, etc, point of view instead.

I am also having problems navigating the site in Chrome. The menu doesn't always work. Sometimes it appears, other times it doesn't. Right now the menu is open but there is no way to close it.

The product urls have a question mark in them, making them look dynamic, which isn't recommended from an SEO perspective.

Best of luck with it but I do think it needs simplifying and standardising.

 

[Flatspin]

Besides all the digs about the front-end visually, it seems your site is fast-loading, better secured than most, and rather unique-looking.

One issue I see in mobile-view is the "in-stock" notice covering to much of your product image when viewing items individually.

Far be it from me to tell you how your site should look, but it responds snappily IMHO.

 

[Steven001]

Look at the site on your phone. It looks awful.

Looks fine on my phone, Samsung Galaxy A3, what phone are you using, Apple?

"getting rid of the backgrounds" I ignored this a few times, not out of spite, ignorance or taking offense but because I don't think you know exactly what you are suggesting. Removing the green background colour and/or the panels overlaying it would literally mean redesigning the colour scheme of the website including the div spacing and the text, possibly all the images and the UI too!! That's practically redesigning the entire front end. This is most definitely NOT going to happen but don't take this the wrong way, I'm not being rude and I was sincere that I truly valued some of your other suggestions as they have helped me improve this site.

I know what you mean about variants but I don't have so many products to choose from, plus if you look at the designs, hiding them away in the shop view would mean people might not get to see something they like... Take a look at this website: https://www.flannels.com/men/clothing/t-shirts
Notice the same design tshirt (PLEIN SPORT) in white and red? It's listed on the tshirt page (an equivalent to my shop page) but when you click on it and get directed to the individual product page you can then choose between both colours so in effect they are offering more chances to buy than I am yet you are saying offer less.

I agree there are some issues with the menu - on a new page load it takes 2 button clicks to open a tab and if you click a second tab the old one doesn't close, it just gets layered on top. Also currently the only way of closing a tab is to click the same button again. I need to and will fix this.

I haven't mentioned this before but I feel the time is right...
On following norms and standardization: Initially I tried Magento, Wordpress and Open Cart, then I tried MyBB and phpBB - all from the Softalicious apps installer on cPanel -the dreaded one-click-'solution' and here's why I call it dreaded...

Magento, Wordpress and Open Cart have no decent working forum plugins, all of them are buggy, unreliable and come with zero crossover. I found that there was no possibility of finding a reliable ecommerce plugin for MyBB or phpBB. All had MAJOR incompatibility issues and were laden with bugs being written by unspecified 3rd parties.

After this, in my desperation I purchased vBulletin which promised an array of eCommerce plugins, none of which worked properly.

It found it impossible to find something with seamless connectivity between a forum and an eCommerce shop so being a developer, I coded my own and mine actually works with as much crossover as I dictate!

I hope you both now understand why there is simply no one-click-solution available for my particular requirements.

@Flatspin thanks for the compliment and the crit on the in stock label. I will fix this problem. I was thinking earlier it would be a good idea to create an image expander by making the product image clickable for a larger version but to fix the obscuring issue on mobiles I have to decide whether or not to display that image in the mobile CSS at all or just reduce its size.

 

[fisicx]

Yes you do need to redesign the whole front end. That’s the point.

Use an existing platform for the shop component and link to the forum. Using a standard platform allows you to switch themes for user testing.

And yes, an saying offer less choice on the shopfront. There are a whole load of studies showing fewer options result in more conversions.

And I’m using an iPhone to look at the site.

I really think you haven't fully read my post above. Please re-read it, especially the last section which begins "I haven't mentioned this before but I feel the time is right..."

I'll sort the iPhone issue out with the Microsoft text which your device won't render.

 

[fisicx]

Yes I have fully read your post and can't see what the issue is. I've built sites which combine shop and forums and never had a problem with integration. All you are doing at the moment is building a site that meets YOUR requirements. Until you do a load of user testing you won't know what your visitors want and more importantly what converts.

You will probably go through two or three redesigns before you find out what works and then 6 months further down the line change everything again.

The font problem is on all Apple devices. Choose a different font, it makes things much simpler.

 

[justinaldridge]

As @fisicx says, you are better off using a good ecommerce platform and linking to vbulletin say on a sub domain. To find a platform that integrates both well is very tough and you ultimately end up with a compromised set up.

When you launch, set up enhanced ecommerce tracking and user tracking software, such as hotjar, to begin to understand how users are interacting with the website.

You will need to constantly monitor, measure and test different set ups to get the optimal conversion process through the site.

 

[Steven001]

Yes I have fully read your post and can't see what the issue is.

I've explained the issues I have experienced with multiple different so called one-click-'solutions' used in combination to try to provide ecommerce and forum functionality. I can't be plainer than I already have been. They just don't work.

I've built sites which combine shop and forums and never had a problem with integration.

I'd be interested to know what forum and eCommerce software you were able to get to work seamlessly together, with as mentioned as much crossover as possible. I ask because after hunting around for more than 2 months, I was unable to find anything at all that wasn't a bug ridden mess which is why I decided to invest my time into creating my own solution which has at least a high level of quality control so that there's zero chance of software conflicts.

All you are doing at the moment is building a site that meets YOUR requirements. Until you do a load of user testing you won't know what your visitors want and more importantly what converts.

Yes, the site meets my requirements and is tailored towards a particular interest of mine being health & fitness. As you may have noticed with the articles and the forums, I am pushing fitness as much as possible - these are the people I wish to attract, a relatively young, active & eager crowd.


When you "what coverts", I presume you mean the sales of products which become popular? That no one will know until it's off the ground though I am putting feelers out into various online communities to try to get a picture. If a product becomes popular it means I need to push more of that product but this doesn't mean the look and feel of the entire site needs to change. I can modify existing content quite easily through the CMS I built, adding new product lines, switching out banners, creating new articles and forum posts/blogs among many other functions which I have built in.

You will probably go through two or three redesigns before you find out what works and then 6 months further down the line change everything again.

Trust me, I won't. The colour scheme and look/feel has already been thought through quite thoroughly.


I'm looking into the font problem, cheers.

As @fisicx says, you are better off using a good ecommerce platform and linking to vbulletin say on a sub domain. To find a platform that integrates both well is very tough and you ultimately end up with a compromised set up.

I'll be completely honest about vBulletin. It is a very buggy, system resource hungy package and I wasted my money on it. The chat system wouldn't work full stop, even after reinstalling the software several times and going through all the settings. It took me over a month to get a reply from tech support who are not contactable unless you log in and post a message through their own vBulletin forum, tech support couldn't even resolve the issue! Even the templates were poor and also no decent e-commerce plugins were available, which was the main point. Since purchasing vBulletin I found that my experience is certainly not unique, masses of people find it to be unstable and buggy and very much outdated as a forum software.

Exactly, I did end up with a compromised set up, a really poor experience all round which is why I developed my own forum, eCommerce and subscription system. There are zero bugs in my code and it all runs quickly and smoothly and very safely as I have been meticulous with security features. Can't say the same for anything else out there.

As @fisicx

When you launch, set up enhanced ecommerce tracking and user tracking software, such as hotjar, to begin to understand how users are interacting with the website.

I took a look at hotjar, they want money to use their service! When I developed the core functionality of the website's forum I also built a fully fledged CMS from scratch alongside it, based on the same CMS in fact which I built for the company I currently work for. This includes functionality allowing analysis of customer data, shopping interactions, searches etc. I set up a cron job to automatically email me a monthly summary of site activity. With regard to page views/other metrics there are already 10 free software plugins running & analyzing site traffic and data 24/7 and they are available through cPanel to view at the click of a button, or there's Google Analytics which is very extensive but invasive however something I might use when I do Google ads.


Appreciate the hint on the query links, they are just temporary as I'll be creating individual pages to host specific styles.


========================


Without being rude and just to reiterate as strongly as possible, I won't be replacing my website with any one-click-solution software. I won't bang on about why as I think the discussion has already been exhausted. I appreciate all the specific comments on improving the website's functionality and styling. From your help, my to do list involves;


· Fixing the font issue with Apple devices

· Fixing the Javascript menu issue

· Creating links to product style pages which resolve to a definitive url



I'll post back when these things are done.

Thanks.

 

[fisicx]

Not really sure why you are asking for help here. You seem determined to keep the site working exactly as it is as any suggestions are rejected out of hand. The only thing anyone can review is the shop as everything else is hidden from view.

I did try to register for the forum but that didn’t work and we can’t see the articles as there is no demo login.

The UX is very poor and while may meet your requirements it doesn’t meet the expectations of users. Who will in the main be using mobile phones.

 

[Steven001]

Like I said, I am thankful for the help provided. It has enabled me to redesign parts of the website to improve the look and feel - there's now a new menu system, new product banners, a better looking home page, a fully fledged subscription system as well as a new look shop! I'd say the advice has been great.

Articles
You don't need to log in to see the articles any more, I opened it up to the public as suggested. Now only some articles are paid, while most are free: https://alt-fit.com/articles-home of course if you try to read a paid article and you have not paid, you will be directed to the subscribe page.

Forum Registration
One variable name needed changing due to the redesign of the head section, registration is now fixed. To test I just signed up for a new account, got the activation email, activated, logged in and now am able to view and post on the forums - all is working.

"The UX is very poor" specifically what about the user interface is poor? What is it missing? Are you talking about functionality or look?

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

What sizes... or am I missing something?

is it one size fits all...

I doubt my T shirt's would fit @Newchodge or any of the ladies here TBH...

Might double up as a sleeping bag or tent...

 

[Steven001]

MENU
Fixed the menu problem, now it takes one button click to open any popup and clicking outside of the menu popup or the specific button responsible for the popup will close the popup. I had to get rid of the background dimmer as it acted as part of the popup meaning closing the popup could only be achieved by clicking on the top bar. Might add a background shadow effect to the popup to compensate to give it a bit more contrast.

FONT
Chosen a new font called Nunito, using Google fonts as a loading resource so it's web safe. It's the nearest I could find to Corbel, it's not identical but quite nice, shame Apple dropped Corbel. Need to go through certain areas and resize text accordingly.

Once I get the text resized, I'll work on creating individual pages for clothing styles.

 

[Steven001]

Font issue fixed.
Menu issue fixed + added box shadow.
New pages created for shop button menu links. eg: https://alt-fit.com/meat-eater
Updated search results display for found and not found.
Decreased size of in stock label on specific product pages for mobile devices. eg: https://alt-fit.com/shop-?998-Meat Eater-tshirt-K2

Just got through an approval from my payment gateway provider to accept monthly payments for subscriptions to health & fitness articles so I'm going to work on article presentation next before hooking up the payment system to that.

After that I'll be reconnecting with a supplier, getting and setting final prices, creating the rest of the product range for hoodies and sweatshirts and starting some Google ads. In the background I'll probably add a bit more functionality to the forum like adding a YouTube link plugin as well as other odds and ends.

 

[mattk]

Just a comment about your "recipe" on the homepage. It isn't really a recipe, as in it lacks the step-by-step guide to making the meal. People who are health conscious also want to see the nutritional value of the meal they are making which none of your free recipes have.

Looking at your other free recipes, the one on the homepage is actually the least appealing in terms of image and description. I'd suggest swapping it with any of the others, although the "Lean Muscle Food Recipe" looks like it is served in a dog bowl.

I can't see many people paying a fiver to access your articles based on the strength of your free offerings.

 

[Steven001]

@mattk great advice, thanks. I will def. revisit the articles, maybe add a pop in with nutrition information.
"Lean Muscle Food Recipe" looks like it is served in a dog bowl.
LOL that's a frying pan. An image I got off the web. I need to get my camera and make some unique content though like the tuna image and the Italian meatballs image which was one I snapped from my kitchen.

 

[Steven001]

Made a major update to the UI: https://alt-fit.com
Also fully overhauled products, ruthlessly narrowed down selection.
Going to work on the footer as that is pretty bad.

 

[Steven001]

Fully updated the UI both header menu and footer. Now the controls are all contained in a panel, search and logo up at the top with menu buttons underneath, one you scroll past the buttons they become fixed position. Pretty happy with the header and the footer, at some stage I'll probably add some social icons to the footer and a newsletter signup form.

Going to concentrate on content and change the background color, it took me a while to see that it wasn't working but I concede.

 

[Deleted member 308634]

One thing that I am not sure if it has been mentioned is regarding the character count per line, I'm viewing on a 24 inch monitor and where the site is full width there are certain parts of text that are very wide which can reduce readability, there is much debate as to what is the optimum characters per line are, some sites say between 60 - 100 characters, I just did a check on yours and found some parts have around 225 characters per line.

There are a couple of ways that this can be improved, either by adding maximum widths to areas that contain text or use font scaling based on the width of the container (i.e. the larger the persons' screen, the larger the font size is to stay within the optimum range). Sorry, I would post links to articles about this but I currently do not have permission to on these forums.

 

[Steven001]

@WebFletch thanks for the crit.
The footer is full width and I can see what you speak of is quite obvious there. I kept the font sizes as consistent as I could throughout screen sizes as I found the larger it was the more ugly it looked.
It really is difficult to find a font that looks great in all scenarios and which has multi-device support, this particular one is called Nunito. If you have a suggestion on a new font I'll def. have a look.
Cheers

 

[Deleted member 308634]

I don't think there is actually anything wrong with the font itself although if you are looking for alternatives I think Lato is quite a nice font. The part I was referring to was the "Product information" and "Product care" sections. If you are not already then you could consider using something like Susy if you are using SASS for your stylesheets, this would allow you to create breakpoints so that you could for example on larger screens have the "Product information" and "Product care" sections side by side and as the screen gets smaller these would switch to become full width sections.

 

[Steven001]

@WebFletch Lato looks quite nice when blown up which is rare, only thing is it looks worse than what I have when ordinary size. Decided to keep what I have.

On the style sheets, I'm using responsive layouts, 3 style sheets - 320px, 1000px and 1400px minimum width media queries.

Thanks for the crit on product pages, I'm sifting through the front end, currently improving the shop page then will move onto products.

 

[Deleted member 308634]

As opposed to using different style sheets you might want to look into using one style sheet with media queries within it that reference custom breakpoints. Based on the stylesheets you mentioned it would mean that you are applying the styles used on the 1000px stylesheet when viewing on an iPhone 6 for example which has a pixel width of 375px (this may look okay depending on what those styles are).

This is an example of using media queries within a SASS stylesheet:

.text {
float: right;
padding-top: 75px;
width: 48%;

@media(max-width:$desktop) {
padding-top: 0;
}

@media(max-width:$singleColumn) {
width: 100%;
padding: 20px 0 15px 0;
display: inline-block;
}
}

And this is an example the variables used, there is no right or wrong answer on what width the breakpoints should be or what they are called, it is down to personal preference:

// Devices
$desktop: 980px;
$tablet: 600px;
$mobile:375px;
$smallMobile: 320px;
$singleColumn: 820px;
$singleColumnSmall: 500px;

As you may have noticed, this isn't the kind of environment for immaturity. I would suggest you return to the dying community of UK Muscle and it's many troll threads

 

[Pat Walsh]

Here's some random feedback on the site as it is now:-

• in the main menu, it says Article - shouldn't that be Articles?
• I tried the search in the top right and it didn't find any matches for tuna - not sure why, as there's a tuna recipe on the homepage
• also search doesn't find any matches for t-shirts but it does for tshirts - the intro text at top of homepage mentions t-shirts so the site need to be consistent with wording
• some of the recipe text would be easier to read if broken down into more paragraphs, people like short chunks of text to read, especially on the web

 

[Steven001]

@Pat Walsh nice crit. I will fix those things. Appreciate the advice.

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Immaturity? Apologies, but I don't see how you could even consider my post as being immature... it was a pretty simple requirement... I'm XXL and depending on where the missus buys my clothes, sometimes XXXL - the fact that I made a pun about Wakefield doesn't mean that it was an immature post thank you very much.

I'm on the Autistic spectrum and I'm Dyslexic

I'm Autastic but don't worry, I won't take offence because you're selling the T Shirt!

So basically, you're saying hey, I'm allowed to take the P out of folk with Autism by selling such T Shirts... but as a potential customer... I'm not allowed to have a sense of humour? OK!...

Actually, everyone on here has tried to help you, even @fisicx and he knows his stuff, he's given you some completely free and invaluable advice and all you've done is moan about how folk have criticised the website, and stated that everything you've found doesn't work for you... a website that sells products, isn't about you... or about how you want it, it's about making it easy for visitors to your website to navigate and make a purchase... Even I get that, yet according to some folk... because of my Autism, because of my Dyslexia... I'm a little bit thick... At least I can see when people are trying to help bub.

Perhaps you're showing your immaturity by not accepting clear sound advice or critique that would actually help you and your website...

Puny human!

Oh sorry, you don't like humour... my bad... tough to be you.

 

[DMollart]

Hi,

I've been designing websites for 20 years, this is my first website review.

I'm not really going to get into why you have multiple stylesheets for different sizes. Websites perform faster with less file requests, but this isn't important at the moment. Personally, I don't like the colour scheme, nothing pops and makes me want to buy. But colour scheme I guess is on personal preference.

1. Let's start with the most critical thing here. Your BUY NOW button doesn't stand out at all, it's the most critical button on your website and you've almost hidden it. It's separated on a full screen desktop far away from the image.
   
   
2. Your header takes up far too much space. When the site loads everything you see is called 'above the fold' this is what we can put in front of the user to entice them without having them scroll as you only have seconds to capture a potential buyers attention and taking up a huge chunk of that for your header with blank space just isn't the right thing to do.
   
   
3. There is a huge space between your product image and your in stock information, why isn't the size selection and product name placed here, where people are looking? It's almost criminal to show someone a product and then have just blank space there. Are trying to sell or not?
   
   
4. You have the exact same 6 paragraphs of text on every page of your website in the footer. That's not the way to do it. You don't need to repeat yourself on every page with that amount of information and Google won't thank you for it either.
   
   
5. It makes no sense to me on the homepage why there are products and then a meal recipe that takes up the entire width of the screen. It's almost a waste of retail space of you have it spaced out at the moment.
   
   
6. Your footer is so blank beyond that text, there should be links to your terms and conditions, shipping policy and refunds. You should be assuring the user that you are a trust worthy company in the final stages of the page, but you choose to just put your address there.

This is just my first 6 points, if you want to hear more I have them. I just don't want to waste my time or yours if you are not interested in them. I hope you take this as constructive criticism as I do not intend it to be anything other than that. I wish you the best of luck with your website.

 

[lazypbx]

Considering the first post was 'almost ready to launch' nearly a month ago, it would be interesting to know how sales are going .. any chance of sharing ?

 

[Steven001]

@Haunted Worlds

It's a health & fitness site, I don't sell XXL or XXXL because most people who wear those sizes are usually grossly overweight and if those people were seen wearing a brand promoting health & fitness it would invalidate the cause to promote health & fitness.

Immaturity regarding the "diddy men" comment which is derived from the UK Muscle troll threads which you first viewed and which then spurned you on to make that comment, on a business orientated forum no less.

Clearly the definition on the Autistic shirt is a CELEBRATION of Autistic people and in no way, shape or form is making fun of the condition.
Here's the definition from my website: "A play on the words autism and fantastic because some autistic people are fantastic and can do to a higher degree of accuracy what others cannot."

As for not accepting advice, this is incorrect. The whole of the front end is being redesigned as can be seen. I have taken many of the suggestions made and put them into practice.

 

[Steven001]

@DMollart
1. Yes. I'm redesigning the look and feel of the entire front end. I have to go through all the other pages first to get an understanding of where I can apply color variation then I will be more equipped to make an action on your critique here which I agree with 100%, the buy now button should be very visible.

2. By header if you are referring to the logo, search and menu system, I have to disagree, it's actually much smaller in height than it was originally. There is no feasible way to reduce it further without sacrificing quality or making the logo even smaller which now stands at 50% of it's original size.

3. Valid point if you are using a large screen as I do. Mobile users will see virtually no space so for larger devices I can split into two panels the product and the description side by side - this is what I intend to do but have to work other areas first before fine tuning.

4. The footer text is meant as an SEO boost. It's still in-the-body-text but the most relevant page information to the particular page will be read and quantified first above this lowest section. If you can explain to me why this would be negative SEO, I will be happy to revise it.

5. As well as selling physical products, I'm also selling subscriptions to health & fitness articles. I want readers to have a taste (pun intended) of what is on offer. It may not be the best article to showcase I concede - right now there is a very limited amount of choices available on articles as this side of the business is still in its infancy.

6. There are links in the first section of the footer, one of which "legal information" includes shipping information, sales policy etc all condensed on one page. I think it would be better with dedicated pages for that information though, good suggestion.

I think you have made some great points and I will take the advice as above. Right now I am in the middle of a visual redesign so need to get the overall styling down before moving on. I very much appreciate the time you have invested, it has not been wasted on me.

Cheers

So because I'm an XXL + you think I'm overweight? LOL! I'm 6ft 5 pal... I'm far from overweight...

Immaturity regarding the "diddy men" comment which is derived from the UK Muscle troll threads which you first viewed and which then spurned you on to make that comment, on a business orientated forum no less.

Diddymen, because folk from Wakefield are quite small compared to us Northerners... with Viking History ... no idea where UK muscle troll threads are sorry.

Revamped the front end, tweaked layout: https://alt-fit.com
Have a bit of back-end work to do now on my custom CMS inc. fixing the keywords for better searches, then redesign the internal PHP email template to fall in line with the new design then back to the front end to deal with the crits made here. Lots to do.

What it looks on my mac book air

Suggest moving the CTA up a 100 - 200 px probably by slimming the header down

 

[Steven001]

Been working like crazy trying to get this looking and feeling better.
A lot of work done on functionality -

• Fixed the internal email responses so they render on any platform.
• Fixed the discount voucher system so that it updates to customer table for proper total calculations in Nochex, customer receipts and viewable online orders.
• Altered the UI, added a new opacity to the modal window after button press once the menu has been scrolled out of view.
• Made custom social share buttons on the product pages.
• Retested forum functionality, fixed a few bugs after removing google page speed screenshot renders which were poor.
• Created split panel for products pages with glowing buy now button, tried to be subtle so not too cheesy I hope: example: https://alt-fit.com/shop-?1208-Phoenix-tshirt-black @DMollart thanks
  
• Overall tweaked appearance of site and altered all the pages to fall in line with the new style.

To do:

• Build cron php x 2 for subscriber emails as follows
• Email weekly newsletter with latest article online with link
• Email monthly voucher with 2x random products
• improve search keywords
• header reduction - height of logo only @Alan thanks

Thanks for all your suggestions, things are getting better.

So you will remove peoples words and they won't remain visible unless you agree with them? ;-)
