Hopefully the subject line will stop me getting flamed..:)

And I've posted on here for a few years so hope you could spend a minute
helping me out.

The website for my business has just gone live at

www.atstone.co.uk

If you would be so kind to have a look and tell me if it's fully
understandable, if there are spelling mistakes.

Do you find anything confusing or would you like to see anything else on
there to make it clearer.

The images of the stone will be updated shortly with better quality
images.(my scanner is very good it appears)

This is my business and sometimes with these things I'm so absorbed I can't
see the wood for trees.

Any feedback is helpful, good is nice but bad is better! I need to know what
to change.

TIA

Muddy

From the FAQ page.......

"Can I have a sample tile please?"
"I can't send you a hole tile it would get rather expensive! ......."

"hole" should be "whole"

Thanks Steve,

This has been the most common spelling mistake people have noticed...it will
be corrected..

Thanks.

The top line of the price list for tiles doesn't come out too good.

you've got

30,5*30,5
*1

which I would've done using x rather than * and probably . rather than ,
since the latter is french and therefore to be eschewed.

there is a "multiply" (×)(windows: alt+0215) but it might not render in all
fonts, so better stick with a lower case x I'd think. If you can get that
to read 30.5x30.5x1 then it'd better understood by most. Also I don't see
what units they are, although from the numbers, I assume cm.

Nice site, otherwise; and well done for not *only* having a
web-contact-form, a thing I personally detest - I find them generally to be
unreliable and don't always get results.

Thanks Austin,

I'm not overly happy with the pricing myself, it actually looks a little
complicated, too much information in one hit.

I'm toying with idea of overlaying the price over each stone when you click
on the smaller image to see the larger more detailed one.

I agree that what is there isn't wonderfully clear and generally looks a bit
squashed up.

You could cut out and send the tile hole though, postage would be dead
cheap then, unless it was on ebay, then it'd be at least £16.50


Just the facts please...

Thanks Tim,

This point has been made before and I'm thinking of a way to redesign that.

Alan.

You could ship a hole load of holes for the one price, but your customer might
have trouble seperating them, cos the little holes tend to drop inside the bigger
ones.

Home Page....

"Import and distribute European Limestone in various forms from our
warehouse Close to Junction 6 and 7 M25 in Surrey.!
perhaps should be....
"AT Stone import and distribute European limestone in various forms from our
warehouse close to Junctions 6 and 7 of the M25 in Surrey."

Also interesting use of capitalisation,eg "Machine profiled solid Limestone
Dado and border tiles." Why is limestone, and dado capitalised?



Profiles and borders.....

Molding?? Moulding?? Im honestly not sure which is correct, but Molding just
doesnt look right!




Pricing......

"All measurements are in Centimetres with prices are per sq/m"

All measurements are in centimetres, with prices per m2

Pricing page generally messy!



Contact details......

No landline phone?
No postal address?
These points may put people off trading with you.



Hope I haven't been too critical!!
All in all a nice site, but you really need to sort the pricing page out.


 
Have you put meta tags into the HEAD code for the search engines ??

Before today I had never even heared the term META Tags, I did a search on
google and I have a basic understanding of these.

I've asked my web guy to organise this if He hasn't done so already.

Thanks


 
Thanks Simon, Interesting points.

Pricing page is messy and we're onto that already, it just isn't clear or
user friendly.

Molding/Moulding....hell I'm not sure either, and both appear to be quite
acceptable. It appears to be another color/colour word where international
spellings are being globaly accepted.

Landline phone and address....agreed it doesn't look good omitting either of
these.

The business is based on the web and I operate it from home, storage is a
secure warehouse with no public access, I'm in the process of getting a
second line installed so there will be a landline number soon.

Also I'm currently looking for a small shop that I can set up as a showroom,
this will give an address for people to visit to see the stone in reality.
In the meantime I'm not putting my home address on there, and the storage
company have requested I don't post their address as there is no public
access. The shop will solve these problems (but introduce other such as
staffing..:))

Thanks for taking the time to llok through and be critical, this feedback is
very importatn.
