Website feedback
« on: May 25, 2016, 08:21:18 AM »

Hi Gents (and Ladies).

I am looking for some feedback on my website!

As you are all interested in Custom Bats and Cricket in general then I would really appreciate it if you could have a quick look at my site and give me any feedback, good or bad.

Is there anything that you think should be changed? how is the speed of the site on whatever device you are using? etc etc. (it all helps with SEO and Google rankings).

Please note that I am not yet a forum sponsor (although hoping to become one shortly) and this is not a sales pitch!

The website is www.thecricketboutique.co.uk and you will find links to my Facebook, twitter and youtube on there also.

Any feedback on my social media sites would also be really appreciated.

Thanks again!

Hey,

The site could be a lot quicker, here's a good link which will give you pointers of how to speed it up https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.thecricketboutique.co.uk/rriYpFQs Which one of the major things you can do is change the size of the images.

As for the site itself, I personally think it's lacking information of your USP and it goes straight into purchasing the products on the homepage without creating a need for the customer to buy from you. No offence meant, I mean this as constructive criticism - but it looks a bit boring and simple - that's my personal thought anyway.

I reckon that "Welcome to The Cricket Boutique" Blurb at the bottom should be at the top. Make your customers know the company before the stock

Same as others, move the Welcome to the top and then the products.

Apart from that I like the fact it is photo's of the actual bat you will be buying.

@Calzehbhoy Thanks for the feedback. Yes I wanted to go down the individual photo route (even though it takes lots of time) so glad you like that!

You could insert a Embeded YouTube Video of a review of the Bat and a 'Ping' Test. I find these very helpful when looking at a bat to buy.

Eclipse All Sports do it..http://www.eclipseallsports.co.uk/index.php/bats/hellfire-pro-02.html

You can review the Softs and Bags as well, maybe a Demo of the Bags with Kit in, so the buyer can judge what it good for him!
