I havent posted in a while and this project explains my absence. This has probably been the most frustrating project I have ever done, and it is now in it's final stages of opening.
I wanted to share this site with users of createblog before anyone else

Everything was created by me (graphics, banners etc) except for the Ecommerce software

http://fashionlara.com




So what is different from Version 1?

1.) Ecommerce site instead of informational site
2.) I took all the pictures of clothing and everything (I know it is crappy)
3.) Installed a COMODO SSL certificate for them
4.) Filled in all Pages


Still needs to be completed

1.) Add rest of products
2.) Add a picture to the Basic Colors banner on homepage

I would love feedback (not to harsh though, this project wore me out for the last few weeks)

This site plans to launch by the end of this week

[edit] forgot to mention, they wanted this site to resemble forever21 a little bit[/edit]

Wow, this is really impressive. I can see how it's frustrating since you're dealing with shopping carts and stuff. That's a lot of hard work right, there. There are some things that bother me though. The top left logo and the banner with the shirt design on it are pretty choppy looking to me. I think you should try fixing the quality, because it looks bad on my screen. Navigation-wise, I think you should add some rollovers. That would get my attention more. The top navigation could use some work though. The "Contact Us" part looks like it gets cut off at the top and bottom, and the spacing on the left and right between the first and last navigation links irk me. You should just move the box and close up the space. This is just an idea, but for the top banner, you should make it flash and have the mannican fade into different designs the company has made. But this is pretty awesome. thumbsup.gif

haha thanks, I actually made all the banners, I could make it flash, but they only want the banner to change seasonally. As far as image quality, that has also been a problem for me, I upload the image and the shopping cart automatically makes it look pixellated, I have no idea why, I tried the support forums with no luck, Im planning to jazz the navi a little :]

Nice, but I don't like the background color. It reminds me of vomit for some reason.

I agree.


Also I'm not really feeling the font you used for "Graphix & prints" at the bottom. But it's nice and simple. :)

Thank you for the font input, but as far as the background goes, I cant fix it because that is the color in the background of the store sign, so the website has to stay consistent with it. The background and the coding were honestly the 2 heardest things in this project :]

The only thing I don't like is the "Laura" It seems to clash so bad with all the other lighter more pastel colors.

I know right? You should see the store sign, thank god that it has that metal shine to it, but whoever designed the original logo made it really hard to do anything with it and they didnt want to use the logo I designed and wanted to stick with the old one (which is on the site right now)

I agree about the background but really, tbh, I really liked the first version better. I like how this looks kind of professional and all but it also seems a bit cramped to me. Otherwise, good job. thumbsup.gif
