Hey there,
So I checked out both and I'm guessing the second one you are still finishing up because there was no mens section, so I'll just skip that part.
For the Laptop site it was good! I like the layout especially and it was very easy assuming if I'm going to buy a laptop to search through your site and choose one that I like.
I did not like however the text and the colors your chose for the menu bar. The black with red block text didn't fit the site at all, so in my opinion I would change that, but everything else looked great!
Can I also suggest 2 things?
#1 I know a lot of people say this, but you really need to start building an email list so have an opt-in form and give them something free in return.. and then just have a weekly newsletter on some cool things about laptops or whatever that audience is interested in (I'm assuming laptops
). This also goes for your clothes website too.
#2 Would be to have some kind of a place to show off the "Best Valued" laptops because that gives them something to click right as soon as they get to your site. Instead of already knowing what they are looking for have a little place right where they go on your site they see the Top Rated or Best in Class laptops that they can shift through. I'd suggest making a side menu bar or top menu bar will all the different brands and have the Top Rated lap tops currently where your menu bar is located at now..
For website #2: There's not much I would change to be honest.. I love it! Looks great and clean and easy to maneuver around
. The only thing like I said above is I would have that little weekly newsletter just 1-2 days a week to keep them engaged and coming back to your site for new features added and free information that you posted on the blog-part of the site.
Hardly any people buy upon first visit of the site just because they are not completely comfortable with your website and you don't really have a relationship with them so it's important to build an email list to get them back to your site so they become comfortable and give them free information that they might like so they don't just feel like it's a website, but they see you as some kind of expert and trust your recommendations.
I know some people try building eCommerce sites and rank them high using SEO to try to get completely automated passive income, but doing that via an eCommerce website is hard because they are more geared towards just selling without much value where as a blog or a followup series with an email list is they provide a bunch of value then ask for the sale.
That just means eCommerce sites tend to be more hands on task that are harder to automate completely, but that's just my advice.
Hope you found this somewhat helpful in a way or another
Take care, Adam
