What back end? on the front end, its got a a lot of white spaces, i would suggest resizing the images of product so that they appear to be of equal size (this will reduce the white spaces somewhat). Scroll could be a bit slower in speed. it's slow to load as well, which could be a function of hosting elsewhere. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is.

I also think space can be optimized better and the site to require less scrolling. Means less spaces, On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 4:35 PM, McTim <mctim@bushnet.net> wrote:

@McTim I was refering to the Jq scripts if anyone had anything to add. The whitespace is intentional, simplicity was the key. @Mr. Lawi, yes, there is more content to be added particularly with respect to the products and thanks for the heads up, i've already disjoined the link from the front page and will reconnect when it's active. Speeds seemed to be alright on testing server, i will however try a different server to work out load speeds.
That is one pretty slick design. One of the best local sites ave seen. but could use more content. + is there a backend really? i just see static pages, actually i thought it was running on wordpress but seems just plain HTML Good Work.

Wow Rahim, this is really good. And, I disagree with anyone dissing the white space. I think that the spacing is very beautiful and the overall simplicity of the site is a relief from the crowded local sites I've seen. One thing though: You have an amazing clientèle! You however chose to have them cocooned in a paragraph of an inside page. Don't you think they are a key selling point thus, deserving of more prominence? -- Regards Martin

I wasn'r dissing it exactly, as one could tell it was the central design element. However on the products page, I just think that MBP_Family_LeoapardScrn-SCREEN.jpg appears too small compared to the other images on the page. While the images are all 400px × 384px , I would have made the relative sizes of the products fairly equal.

@McTim, agreed with the products page, there was a slight issue with getting alignment done right hence the standardized sizes on images, I'll work on it though to see if i can iron it out completely. McTim wrote:

Nice sleek design! Cool JQuery stuff as well. The loading speeds are ok on my side. May be you should consider adding more info. the site is laden with images. Also, if you could minimize the images that appear on the other pages except the home page, coz one has to scroll down everytime to see the info. Just a though. Nonetheless, your work is impressive. Kudos.

Hi bigboss, taken your notes in mind and will adjust site accordingly, thanks for the w3c link, its a great help. The meta tag info for SEO will be added soon, i've got peons who're working on that front now. :D My mailer was sent out to the list and not to individual email add's, which means i only have the mailing list address on my db and it broadcasts my mails to y'all so unsubscribing would be impossible unless i've actually got your email add on my db. In which case, please send me the add you rec'v my emails on and i'll unsubscribe you myself. Keep em coming. And if there's anyone else on list who wants out of my Elite Mailing DB, please email me on unsubscribe@eliteken.com TheBigBoss wrote:

Minimalistic is the way to go. Nice use of white space. Simple,elegant and straight to the point. Its reflects apple and their products. However, why not have columns on the landing page below the jquery slideshow. That way visitors can see what they want in a flash and you do not have to scroll to the bottom of the page. It will also differentiate the landing page from other pages. On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 9:41 AM, Rahim Kara <skunkingrahim@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi bigboss,
taken your notes in mind and will adjust site accordingly, thanks for the w3c link, its a great help.
The meta tag info for SEO will be added soon, i've got peons who're working on that front now. :D
My mailer was sent out to the list and not to individual email add's, which means i only have the mailing list address on my db and it broadcasts my mails to y'all so unsubscribing would be impossible unless i've actually got your email add on my db. In which case, please send me the add you rec'v my emails on and i'll unsubscribe you myself.
Keep em coming. And if there's anyone else on list who wants out of my Elite Mailing DB, please email me on
unsubscribe@eliteken.com

Rahim,
Looks good !!
A/ Slow at fist load because of the jquery I guess... I would load the jquery hosted by Google instead of code.jquery.com
B/ Div menu can be enhanced, a grey block with times font doesn't work. Then, I would put it at the top of the page (above the Apple logo)
C/ SEO - More meta tag (description, keywords, ) then add a detailed title in all your links (a href="" title=""). "Kenya's first and only apple reseller" should be in text and not image
D/ As suggested before, I would personally compact everything so that it fits in a browser vertically. More local content and stuff would be good also
E/ Then, you need clean errors (W3C Markup validation found 21 errors) - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eliteken.com%2Findex.html...
F/ last but not least a redirect to www would be good because http://eliteken.com goes nowhere !! And a custome error 404 page would be good also.
G/ And a personal note, I think that using the Skunkwork mailing list to send your business email was a bad more. I tried to unregistered several time and it failed. Luckily Gmail has a nice filter and all your Apple emails go directly into the trash.
Cheers

on the front end, its got a a lot of white spaces, i would suggest resizing the images of product so that they appear to be of equal size (this will reduce the white spaces somewhat). Scroll could be a bit slower in speed.
it's slow to load as well, which could be a function of hosting elsewhere.
@McTim I was refering to the Jq scripts if anyone had anything to add.

Speeds seemed to be alright on testing server, i will however try a different server to work out load speeds.

I think the site is a real dime...superb! Well...I don't want to sound petty but listening to Kenyans thinking, is it possible to "Kenyanize" it..maybe change the clips on the iPads from NY Times to something else and the Colin Family as well...create a relation to Kenya being the only Kenyan reseller.

Hey people.
Wanted your views on:
Please let me know what you think and if any views on what i should change.. with regards to the back end.
What back end?
on the front end, its got a a lot of white spaces, i would suggest
resizing the images of product so that they appear to be of equal size (this will reduce the white spaces somewhat). Scroll could be a bit slower in speed.
it's slow to load as well, which could be a function of hosting elsewhere.
@McTim I was refering to the Jq scripts if anyone had anything to add. The whitespace is intentional, simplicity was the key. @Mr. Lawi, yes, there is more content to be added particularly with respect to the products and thanks for the heads up, i've already disjoined the link from the front page and will reconnect when it's active.
Speeds seemed to be alright on testing server, i will however try a different server to work out load speeds.

The big red apple-shaped E in the logo/name is pretty rough and could use some refining. Also, grammar and punctuation improvement will go a long way in enhancing users' perception of the site's quality. Otherwise, nicely done. - Chris On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 5:52 AM, Chris Mwirigi <mwirigic@gmail.com> wrote:
