I posted a much earlier version of the site a few months ago. Lots has changed and I would love your feedback. What do you like about the UX and overall design, what would you improve?
Itās a cool site - did you handpick all the items? theyāre brilliant!
i really like how the info is laid out - very easy to read and well written - for example the telescopes - i like how the three types are explained and then the various characteristics with the icons for each telescope.
iād like to have a sticky nav bar across the top. iād also like more categories - i really like the drone and telescope category - maybe a drop down with other popular categories in the nav bar. you could also have a total category listing page - and you could put this category listing in the footer also.
i donāt like all the social share icons down the right or on the product images but thatās a personal thing.
the home page has too much on it - itās ridiculously long - quite overwhelmingly for me. maybe you could have popular products and categorise everything else. if people want to view all products on a page, give them that option but maybe donāt land them on it.
with regard to the design itself - i like itās simplicity - but to me it looks a small bit dated.
I think you could make use of coloured backgrounds/white text to section some of the pages better
The product blocks on the homepage could be improved - iād remove the padding so the button and image stretch to the edges . iād move the name below the image and use a different font for the product name - and iād remove the link to the amazon page on the header text - and a colour more definite (maybe white) than the light blue background.
iād lose all the rounded edges on the blocks and buttons - keep it sharper and edgier - i think itād fit the site better.
overall, itās a cool site - iāve saved it for gift ideas for the future! with a bit of tweaking, i think it could be great!
Thank you very much for your smart feedback., really appreciate it!
To answer your question, yes I handpick all products on GeekWrapped to make sure they are high quality and have good online reviews. My goal is to get more people excited about science and technology and I think fun gift ideas are a very organic way to do that
What do you mean with āsticky nav bar across the topā please? Do you mean that it moves with the scrolling window (fixed)?
Also, you mentioned more categories would be good, can you elaborate what youād like?
I adjusted the mobile menu, does it work for you now?
Can I ask: Which device and browser are you using? The AddThis bar should be on the BOTTOM for mobile, strangeā¦
Much better, and the device/browser I am using is an extension for responsive web design viewing, and so the image I took was from an iPhone 6s Plus - Portrait layout.
Thanks so much. Iāve put a lot of work and love into the site, so your friendly words really mean a lot!
Would love it if you help spread the word and tell friends about it, thanks!
Thanks for the feedback, Antonio. Iāve added a lazy load plugin that loads the pictures only when the user scrolls down, so the page load is (somewhat) quick. Did it load slow for you on mobile over a data connection? Thanks
