New look for the Summer

[soyofthenorth]

Over the past week I've revamped my website. New colour scheme, new fonts and a reduction, (although slight), in loading time. Would love to know what you think.

I can't remember what it looked like before, but I like the blues and all the curves on the side boxes and header.

It has a summery look, which is nice.

Its very visually pleasing, really like the colours and curves. I also found it really easy to navigate around too. My only slight problem is that your font is quite small on the actual description of each item, but otherwise I really liked it.

Thank you for the comments

Wendy - the before look was a very purple theme. There's a pic of the old layout about half way down this blog post.

Lucy - I'm assuming the description you mentioned is the one that shows when several items are one the screen. If it is, I've just increased the size of it.

I love the Eau de mil colour. it looks really nice and fresh.

The colour has a really nice calming effect which fits in nicely with my idea of lighting a candle to relax. Tried to find something for constructive criticism but the only thing I could think of was that it might be nice to have a few images of those candles that are packaged in cellophane and raffia in their packaged state. Even one photo on the homepage could sway a gift buyer, I know if I was looking for a gift I'd be more inclined to buy if I saw how nicely packaged it comes.

beadsbydesign - had to do a web search to see what an Eau de mil colour was

nattynetty - that's a good idea. I did used to do that when I first started my website but the cellophane reflected the light and made big bright spots appear in the photos. I'll try those photos again to see if I'll get some without the bright shine on them.
