Hello all, I'm a designer and new in this forum as you can see...
As designing is a new thing for me,Employee gifts, please review it and comment.your feedback is really important and needed. I designed this website lately and I know it's nice for beginners but I don't really know how to make it better...

Thanks in advance

Hi Mr Time

First thing I would do is improve the images. They all look like 256 color GIF. Use a high quality JPG or even better a PNG (which if you take care in compressing can often be smaller). Image quality is vital for a site to look good. Also image consistency is vital. Images need to be same sizes for neatness and where possible similar in style. Try putting a 1px dk grey border around all images.

Second (and closer to my heart) is to improve your headline Why not try "Show a gesture of Appreciation to your staff, clients friends and family" in a nice big text style at the top of the content area. Words have more sway over the soul than pictures alone. I know this is a cart but words are still important to set the scene - think of the J Peterman stuff on Seinfeld.

Third I would look at the logic of your categories. You are offering feminine products under Men (what bloke wants a gift basket with tea or called Pretty In Pink (unless of course Molly Ringwald is in there)). Think about For Men and For Women. The under $20 is empty - remove that. Don't offer empty sections esp like this and the Coming Soon.

Then I would start to look at the template fix the breaks first and then work on a better branding followed by the overall look (remember to keep it simple).

That is probably more than you expected but I hope it helps

All in All ok but I have to agree you need to not reduce your gifs to the point of pixelation. I think Benidict sumed it up for you.

Hi there magic time. I visited your site and like you I also seek the advice of others when it comes to my project website. It really helps to hear the opinion of others, especially those who knows a lot. Anyway, your website is about gifts, gifts are exciting so I think you should improve the color combination of your site to make it more colorful and alive. Multivariate Testing
