mmmm...coffee

I'm expecting a delivery of a StarBucks coffee house machine to my house later today...anyway, that aint the point (mmm....coffee)

The front page is full of info so it woud definately attract the attention of anyone who wandered into it through a search engine. However, its like a coffee colour version of the msn site, sorry if that sounds a bit harsh. The whole site is on the left, i'm on 1024 x 768. WHen i put my res higher (verging on 2000 and above) there is a HUGE blank space to the right of the site. Maybe if you centered your entire site, the lot, so there is a white border on either side, it looks as if the site has been designed for 800x600 users mostly.

THe site itself does look good for a business orientated site, but it's lacking some kind of punch (eye candy basically).

The sub sections...take for instance the classic Mauro bean (hmmm...now i want a coffee!!!!!!!!!)... The page scrolls on forever. It MAY be a good idea to break it into sections so that the visitor or person ordering from your site can click on the pack they would need and then see different kinds of that pack. I dont know if its viable for your site though as each of the 'brick' packs may be interchangable...

I like the site. I am a novice with web site design but I noticed a couple of things that would bother me. Your navigation menu has no life. You need some rollovers on your navigation. Even if it is just for mouseovers. I prefer navigation menus change colors for the page you are on. For instance, when in your in the return policy page, make that tab brown and keep the others beige. Similar to Amazon. Also, I like the search boxes above the line. Search boxes are normally a navigation option and should be near the navigation menu. Just my opinion though. Other than that this site is great. Good job.

Overall i think this looks very good. You seem to have covered all the bases. I would like to see a little more colour contrast in the layout (maybe make that beige a little darker).

I would also like to see something more interesting done with the logo. You have to think about branding - people aren't going to remember you if you don't have a memorable logo. Try a more interesting font, or maybe a little symbol to represent your company.

Welcome to TWF Eugene,

I know you wouldn't have read the rules of this forum as you didn't post directly into it, however we do ask that before you put your own site up for critique that you help out some of the others here and give your review of their sites, so if you wouldn't mind helping out with that then I'm sure you'll get lots of feedback on your site.

I have had a quick look at the site and it's not bad but I do get a small horizontal scrollbar at 800*600. I know coffee is brown and that the colours of the site but there just seems to be something lacking to give it some pazazz. I'll have another look later after some more coffee and give it a more wide awake apprasal.

This forum is for feedback about the forums in general, not your site. For feedback on your site, you would post in the Website Critiques forum.

I will move your post for you.
