Volusion’s Hosted Shopping Cart

WineGuppy E-Commerce Site

WineGuppy E-Commerce Site

My first e-commerce site. I worked with a Volusion designer to come up with the overall look and feel, along with the layout.

What I like:

  • Images of the category items right on the home page. This gives the users an idea of what is being sold on this site
  • Clear boxes on the value-adds: free shipping, satisfaction guarantee, wine accessory guide, customer testimonials, bestsellers.
  • Great layout and color selection

What I didn’t like

  • javascript top nav bar! Not accessible to spiders
  • Footer looks like an afterthought. It was!
  • The flash image of sample products for each category looks clunky. (It was added 6 months after go-live)
  • Logo is a little simple. Not in a memorable way, but almost looks like an afterthought. It needs to be bolder.

What do you think? Would love to hear your comments…
