I don’t see anything about who you are, or what you do. Which makes the whole thing untrustworthy. Custom shirt page needs a lot of help. Go to any custom shirt website and you’ll see a complete setup for upload, drag and drop, preview window, etc. And your upload format is missing .jpg but has .doc?

Without verification with text/images/videos, I would not trust that this isn’t some p.o.d. dropshipping scheme that’s going the extra mile to not look like a p.o.d. dropshipping scheme. And that, without a doubt 100%, makes me not want to buy from you.

If you are p.o.d. then you should explain that. If not, you should explain that.

Hi there @New2ym.com I’ve had a look at your store and here are a few suggestions I have for you.

  1. Improve the aesthetic design of the store a bit. It looks too bland at the moment, I understand going for a simplistic design but it just comes off as needing a bit more excitement on it for a clothing store.
  2. Add a video or two to the product gallery. The images currently there look a bit too uninspiring so maybe short videos could help add some appeal
  3. Add FAQs on the homepage

Hello Maximus3,

thank you for the feedback I have made a few changes as well as plans for more changes in the next few days.

first I added an about me page to help answer some of the question as to who Am I and what do I do. that is currently up and running.

I recently did start a Instagram page for the business that I planned on making videos for of the making of the shirts as well as a B.T.S look of the business but listening to your views. I will be adding videos on here. to promote that I am not just a Drop shipper but i actually design and make the shirts at my home office….your point made sense made sense to me so thank you again

The custom t shirt page does allow drag and drop and should have.jpg but it does not support a preview window which i will be changing soon as i find the right app to use

thank you for the feedback I will be adding videos very soon as well as a FAQs section on the homepage…I will also be looking into adding some sort of visual banner that adds some motion to the page of some sort so thank you again for your feedback

Hi @New2ym.com

That feeling of something being missing is actually your instincts telling you something real. Deleting content and adding it back isn’t going to fix it because the core issue isn’t how much content you have, it’s what that content is saying.

Your homepage is currently doing a lot of showing but not much telling. Product images everywhere looks busy but it doesn’t answer the one question every first time visitor has which is why should I buy from this store specifically.

That answer needs to be somewhere prominent, ideally the first thing someone reads when they land. It doesn’t have to be long, even one clear sentence that tells people who New2ym is for and what makes it worth choosing does more work than a grid of product photos.

The colors and layout will feel more intentional once the messaging is right. A lot of the time when something feels visually off it’s actually because the words aren’t doing their job and the design is trying to compensate.

Your slider cart is there but it’s not working for you yet. Add a free shipping progress bar inside it so people have a visible reason to keep adding items, and show cross-sell suggestions right there in the cart too. Someone adding one product should be discovering what else you carry at the exact moment their intent is highest rather than having to go back and browse for it.

Don’t install separate apps to build each of these things out though. It adds cost and slows your store down more than most people realise. Something like iCart handles the progress bar and in-cart cross-sells alongside your existing slider cart all in one place.

Congrats on launching your store! @New2ym.com It’s a great start. I took a look, and overall it looks good, but I think it just feels a bit unclear in a few areas.

Right now, the hero section is trying to say too many things at once, so simplifying it to one clear message could make a big difference.

The colors also feel a bit mixed (red, blue, dark tones) so sticking to a simpler palette like black, white, and one accent color would help keep things clean and consistent.

Your product pages are set up well, but they feel slightly empty, so adding things like reviews, shipping info, and trust badges could really help with conversions and build confidence.

Overall, you don’t need a full redesign, just simplifying things and adding a bit more trust will make it feel much more polished.

Hope this helps!

Hi, @New2ym.com
From what you’ve described, the issue isn’t missing content - it just needs better structure, spacing, and clarity rather than removing more content.

Here are practical fixes based on your site:

  1. Fix homepage structure (don’t keep deleting sections)

Make it clear within seconds: what you sell, why it matters, and what to do next.

Hero → supporting line → key benefits → products → trust elements

  1. Improve spacing + layout (biggest issue)
  • Avoid large text blocks
  • Add more spacing between sections
  • Keep sections visually separated
  • Make CTA buttons more prominent

This alone will make the store feel more complete.

  1. Simplify wording instead of removing it

  • Convert paragraphs into short lines or bullets

  • Focus on benefits, not descriptions

  • Keep messaging consistent

Less text + better structure = cleaner store

  1. Check mobile experience

Make sure it’s clear, easy to scan, and not crowded in the first few seconds.

5.About colors

Colors usually aren’t the main problem unless they’re clashing or low contrast. If your layout and spacing aren’t strong, even good colors won’t fix the feeling. So fix structure first, then adjust colors if needed.

6.Improve performance

A slow or heavy store often feels unfinished or unprofessional.

  • Compress and properly size images (avoid large file uploads)
  • Remove unused apps or scripts that may slow down the site

You don’t need to remove more content-just organize what you already have with better spacing and hierarchy.

If you’re not handling this manually, tools like Website Speedy can help streamline these optimizations and improve overall site speed.
