We are launching an identity and a website for a SEX TOYS company at the end of this week, so your critique would be highly appreciated.
I'd be glad if you give me your 1of 5 score for:
Usability ( )
Design ( )
Overall look and feel of site ( )URL: http://www.sextoys.co.uk/default…
btw, You might as well buy something for after work.

The design brief was:
Put sex toys where they should be – i.e. more people should be made to feel comfortable to buy them/use them.

looks like a catalogue site...
is a bit softer... that one the red white a black etc looks like a financial site...
but I guess 3's all round

Usability (2 )
Design (2 )
Overall look and feel of site ( 1)I got to say, the overall design is not strong at all.
The first couple of items:
I think would help is a cleaner and stronger grid, meaning simpler structure and adhere to it more.
The red color is hurting you here. because red is such a strong color, the heirarchy is getting confused by it. ie. section tabs in red, text in red, items in red,... So much red that user has difficulty recognizing what to look at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Use the red sparingly, very sparingly, it will be much more dynamic and you can use color to help seperate the heirarchy.
The layout is confusing. Tab menu to left (standard, ok), then menu functions at top right and other at bottom in product section (which is enormous, a bit oversized I think). Get the nav into one are I think, with a primary function and secondary kind of function if needed (ie. list as primary, icons as secondary...).
Also, the type heads that are images of type are softer visually than the crisp type is. This is making the crisp, bold black type come forward and the heads recede. Again, fighting the heirarchy.

ya what F_EddyShears said.
I think the stock photography you have on the site is a bit catalog:.
apart from that, me like. :)

It's been officially live since 14th July (Monday) and it has already generated more than 150 orders and counting.
Oh my God, we've created a monster:

Yeah, the black text is really strong,.. it would look great in a dark grey and would fit the colour scheme. Also, a higher quality image of the logo might be in order. But overall, good work.

yo, what happened to all that help you asked for? No changes?
- plamenski0
150+ orders for 4 days.
Why change something that works?
Thanks for your help, anyway :)

150 orders. what if you had made those changes and were saying today "300 orders in 4 days..."
Just cause it works doesn't mean its working the best it can.
- plamenski0
300? That'd be pushing.
The client is more than happy and the next project is on the line already. Will try to improve there.
