Website critique

[warnerj]

I work with a lot of "power play" brands and the website looks great to me - crisp and clear.

Completely agree with the below - this should drive some interaction with your social media as well.

Also, I'd drop the blog, you sell frames, there's nothing very exciting you can put in there. Replace it with a gallery, get customers to send photos in of the pictures hanging on their walls etc.

One thing I may add would be Printed, Framed & Delivered from £x - ultimately it draws attention in as currently all the prices are below the fold.

Good point - that's going in! Thanks

On the Checkout is there a way of creating a delivery address?

You could consider this to the functions.php of your theme (removes Company name from checkout)

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']);
unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_company']);
return $fields;
}

Agree

FAQs - including FAQs can vary depending on the site but if these are questions customers are asking often your site should be answering them in the main copy/ You should not need a place for customers to go to work out the answers. FAQs were common in early websites but not these days generally.

Don't agree if an FAQ is random things, then agree, should be in the content - but any business which has a process / is selling / has interaction beyond the website, then the customer is likely to have a number of questions and they want one place to go to answer those questions - not have to hunt through many different spots on the website...

The number of frames you offer seems small. I'd expect a site like this to give me a bigger range.

Agree

Hmmm - I'll need to check. Isn't the problem with editing functions.php that it will written over with theme updates. I'm not a web designer so I might be wrong there.

Will check on the delivery address - that could be important!

This is just for the rollout. There are obviously going to be a lot of changes to the site over the next few weeks, and we want to get everything a little bit more nailed down before we extend the range.

Nice website! your frame descriptions seem to be missing the type of moulding material you are using for your oak/walnut frames are they wood or are they Polcore/Emafyl/MDF etc.

We had it in and took it out because we thought people might not care for a low-value gift type item. I'll have a look at it. Thanks

Best practice is always to create a child theme

That's quite an old concept these days as the huge variety of screens mean that the fold can be anywhere. Plus people are far more used to scrolling now so its not this issue it once was.
