Requesting Feedback on My Website Design

[naveen.raj]

Hi everyone,

Could someone please review my website design and share any suggestions for improvement? I would really appreciate your feedback.

I’m not an expert—I’m self-taught, and this community has helped me a lot in designing the website. The site hasn’t been launched yet, and some image uploads are still pending.

Nice work on the homepage—it’s looking really sharp. Just a quick tip: you might want to swap that Gmail address for a custom domain email (like info@yourstore.com). It doesn’t cost much, but it definitely adds an extra layer of credibility to your business!

Thanks for the feedback. Any suggestions for affordable custom email domain providers?

Hi, thank you so much for the kind words!
I really appreciate your feedback.

Regarding the alignment, I’m not fully sure which specific area needs improvement. Could you please help me understand where you noticed alignment issues (for example: sections, images, text, spacing, or mobile view)?
Your explanation would really help me improve the design further.

Thanks in advance for your support and guidance!

Hey @naveen.raj

Self-taught and building this with community help shows dedication. For a pre-launch site, you’ve got a solid product range in the stationery and journaling niche. Now let me tell you what needs fixing before you go live.

Your cart is redirecting people to a separate page when they add something. That’s going to kill conversions. Stationery enthusiasts often buy multiple items, different washi tapes, sticker sets, journal supplies, coordinating pieces. When you redirect them to a cart page, you break their browsing flow and they’ll abandon.

Switch to a slider cart that opens on the same page. Keep people engaged in shopping mode. Stationery and journaling supplies are perfect for multi-item purchases, so make that experience seamless.

Add a progress bar showing how close they are to free shipping or a discount. When someone sees they’re close to hitting a threshold, they’ll absolutely add another washi tape or sticker sheet. Stationery items are usually lower-priced, so people are often right on that edge.

Show complementary products in that cart. Someone adds washi tapes, show them matching stickers or journal accessories. Someone grabs rubber stamps, suggest ink pads or wax sealing supplies. Help them see what works together for their projects without making them hunt through your catalog.

Don’t install separate apps for cart features. You’re just launching and learning as you go. Something like iCart handles all your cart customization like product recommendations, progress bar, slider cart, and more in one place, simpler and more budget-friendly than juggling multiple tools.

Your product categories are well organized, which is good for this type of store where people want to browse specific supplies. Make sure when you upload those remaining images that they clearly show the products and inspire creativity. Stationery enthusiasts are visual and want to see exactly what they’re getting.

Fix the cart experience before launch. That’s the difference between people adding items and actually completing purchases.

Hey @naveen.raj,

Thanks for posting your Query on this Shopify Community forum. To provide you more personalized feedback on your store, would you not like to finish it first. I see a lot of key areas where your site is not finished yet. Which means that you’re site is not gonna be sell anything.

But if you’re looking for the feedback of current site, then here is my honest feedback

• Right to left layout: I see that you’re using the Right to left layout. Right to left layout usually works for Hebrew, Arabic or other languages. But in your case you’re using the English language which doesn’t make sense to use the RTL layout.
• Product Page optimization: I see that your store product page is not optimized for better conversion. It should be optimized with badges, USP’s and urgency points.
• Menu items should be in Center: I found that currently the menus are not same. Which means that the alignment is not looking professional. In this case, move your menus in the Center for better look and UX. See screenShot for more reference: Screenshot by Lightshot

I highly suggest you that ask for Feedback whenever you finish the site.

Cheers

Hi @naveen.raj , Great work so far. For a self-taught build, the site already looks clean, calm, and well branded. The visual style fits your products very well. Below are a few clear and practical suggestions you may find useful before launch:

Here are some things I see your online store doing well:

• Strong hero image and headline. It clearly shows the product use and mood.
• Consistent colors and typography across sections.
• Product photos look premium and match the brand tone.
• Navigation is simple and easy to follow.

My suggestions for improvement:

• Hero section CTA: Consider adding a stronger primary call to action, such as “Shop Wax Seals” or “Shop Best Sellers” instead of only “Explore All.”
• Text contrast: Some text over images is light and may be hard to read on smaller screens. Slightly darken the overlay or increase text weight for better clarity.
• Best Sellers section: This section is strong. You could add a short line like “Most loved by our customers” to add trust. Once live, showing reviews or ratings here will help conversions.
• Footer trust elements: Consider adding shipping info, returns, or payment icons near the footer. This reassures visitors before they buy.

Hope this helps

Using your domain provider (such as GoDaddy or Namecheap) as your email hosting provider can simplify setup, but it’s not required.
These services typically cost few dollars per mailbox per month, with pricing varying based on storage limits and included features (such as spam filtering, calendars, and collaboration tools).

I personally use the AWS ecosystem — I purchased my domain through Route 53 and use Amazon SES to receive emails and forward them to Gmail.
This approach works well but does require some technical setup and hands-on experience.
