Constructive Criticism

I need some advice on tips to make my page better! Please don't hold back! I'd like all the help I can get :)

Hi :D

Your page looks fab, great banner and great pics!

I can offer some advice which I picked up from the sassy critiques blog:
To help make your site come up more in google searches etc uou should use the area under your shop title and under your banner to really put across what you sell. Apparently google searches these areas, so putting things like welcome etc is no good to get you found.

So under your shop title put what you sell really short and snappy, and hen under your banner elaborate a bit. The first few words are the most important, think like a buyer and write words they may type into google. Have a look at mine if you like I have tried to do this!

And definitely check out this checklist, this is where I got the above info from

Hope that helps!

I've been reading through the checklist and this thing is exactly what I needed!! I did make the adjustments about the title and announcement like you said so hopefully I'll get a bunch more views from google that I was obviously missing out on!!

I have been slowly editing everything little by little this morning and I know I need to work on better/more pictures but that one just might take a little more time and practice.

I owe you so much!! Thank you for all your help :)

Daydreaming gifts- you're very welcome! I feel like a bit of a fraudster handing out advice before I even get a sale lol! But that checklist is great I am so glad I found it! They have a team as well where they critique your shop but they always ask you to do the checklist first before you ask them. Will get working on those questions asap just getting baby to bed now, when is the latest you need them by? Very excited about that by the way really want my first sale!

Jaclynsdesigns- the checklist is your best bet, it really is very useful! I love your banner very colourful and cute :-) and the covers are a great idea, my little one is out of his first stage car seat now or I may have bought one! Make sure to visit other people's shops and add favourites too, that way you see what else is out there and make friends! Good luck!

JoArtyJo - sometime by tomorrow at the latest so I have enough time to get it all set up and approved by before Friday morning! I know our times are different .. it's 5:00 p.m. here so by this time tomorrow?

Jaclyndesigns - The checklist has EVERYTHING you could ever ask for. I would do a step a day to make it less overwhelming then when you feel like you've done the best you can sign up for the review they offer! That's what I plan on doing. It's probably better than any other advice seeing as how they do this all the time ;)
